Mira Demeter, a Hadley Wood–based family photography specialist, creates natural, storytelling portraits of families, newborns and children. Calm, relaxed sessions at home, outdoors or in her Enfield studio.
I specialise in family photography and my work centres on capturing the honest, everyday moments that tell your family’s story. Based in Hadley Wood and working across Enfield and North London, I focus on natural, storytelling portraits—newborns, babies, children and family portraits—created in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. What makes my approach different is its simplicity and warmth. I work in a documentary-lifestyle style with minimal posing and gentle direction, so children and parents can be themselves. Whether we meet in the comfort of your home for a lifestyle session, explore a favourite local outdoor spot, or welcome you into my home studio in Enfield, my aim is always the same: to capture real connections, small gestures and the little moments you’ll want to look back on for years to come. I bring the patience and practical experience of a mum of two to every shoot. I understand how to put camera-shy teenagers at ease, keep toddlers engaged and help new parents feel calm in front of the lens. For newborn sessions I prioritise comfort and timing—working around feeding and nap routines so the session feels gentle and natural for your family. Family events—christenings, naming ceremonies, birthday celebrations and other family gatherings—are also close to my heart. I photograph these occasions in a natural, unobtrusive way so you can enjoy the day while I capture the smiles, hugs and little details that matter. Cake smash sessions are a fun, studio-based option I regularly offer for first birthdays and celebrations. How I work: we’ll start with a friendly chat to understand what you want from the session and to pick the best location and style. On the day I keep the session relaxed and flexible, encouraging interactions that produce authentic images rather than stiff, forced poses. After the shoot I carefully edit your images and deliver a selection that reflects the story we’ve created together. I’m passionate about prints and albums—photographs are made to be seen and enjoyed on your walls and in albums, not tucked away on a USB. If you’re looking for a family photography specialist in Hadley Wood and North London who values connection, warmth and real moments, let’s have a chat. I’d love to capture your family’s story.
