Aneta Jakubas Photography Ltd

As a family specialist based in Grays, Aneta Jakubas focuses on creating timeless, honest images that celebrate the everyday bonds between parents, children and newborns. Her approach is gentle and unobtrusive: she looks for the small, authentic moments — the laugh, the curl of a sleeping baby’s hand, the shared glance between siblings — and frames them with clear, natural light and uncomplicated composition. What sets Aneta apart is her emphasis on atmosphere and connection. Sessions are relaxed and child-led, guided by playful prompts and quiet direction rather than stiff posing. That means children feel comfortable, smiles come easily, and parents can actually enjoy the session rather than worry about perfection. Whether it’s an in-home newborn shoot or an outdoor family photoshoot in Grays and nearby neighbourhoods, Aneta adapts to the family’s rhythm to capture images that feel true and lived-in. Her process begins with a friendly conversation to understand what matters most to your family: favourite routines, meaningful props, and the personalities you want to preserve. On the day, she prioritises calm, safety and ease — especially for newborn sessions — using natural light and minimal distractions to keep attention on connection. After the shoot, Aneta carefully edits each image to enhance warmth and authenticity, delivering a cohesive gallery of portraits you’ll be proud to display. Families choose Aneta because she combines a professional, unobtrusive technique with a warm, personable approach. Her images are crafted to become family heirlooms: photographs you’ll return to for comfort, memory and joy. If you’re in Grays and looking for a family photographer who values emotion over artifice, and who knows how to put children and new parents at ease, Aneta offers a thoughtful, tailored experience that preserves the real moments of family life.
