Nadia Greaves Photography

As a Gateshead-based family specialist, Nadia Greaves brings a warm, gently guided approach to every family photoshoot. A mum of two and a former teacher, Nadia understands how to put children (and parents) at ease — turning visits to her light-filled Burnopfield studio into relaxed, joyful sessions that produce timeless, authentic images. Nadia’s style is natural and minimalist: she prefers to use available light like an artist uses a brush, focusing attention on the emotion and relationships in the frame rather than heavy props or gimmicks. That pared-back philosophy results in elegant family portraits and candid sequences that feel genuine and enduring — the kind of photographs families are proud to hang on their walls and pass down through generations. Working with young children and babies is a particular strength. Nadia’s patient, child-led approach means she follows little ones’ rhythms — welcoming play, cuddles and spontaneous moments rather than forcing poses. Whether you’re bringing newborns, sitting babies, toddlers or older children, she has the calm experience and instinct to capture snapshots of personality: the cheeky grin, the quiet snuggle, the small gesture that tells a bigger story. The studio is designed to be a calm, private space where families can relax. After the session Nadia lovingly edits images and can help you decide how best to display them at home, offering options for wall art and personalised displays. Many clients value the one-to-one viewing experience where they choose the images that mean the most. Serving Gateshead, Newcastle and the wider North East, Nadia specialises in family and maternity work while also offering caring newborn and children sessions when needed. If you want honest, beautifully lit family photography — a photographer who knows how to work gently with children and create enduring portraits — Nadia Greaves provides a thoughtful, professional experience that keeps your family at the heart of every image.
