Alexandra Petrescu Photographer

As a family photography specialist based in Halesowen, Alexandra Petrescu focuses on capturing the small, honest moments that make your family unique. Her work is rooted in a belief that photographs should act as a time capsule — images that carry the emotion, atmosphere and everyday details you’ll want to revisit for years to come. Alexandra positions herself as a family expert: attentive, patient and experienced with children of all ages, she knows how to create an environment where real connection can unfold naturally. Why choose Alexandra for your family photoshoot? Her approach is deliberately warm and unobtrusive. She works with natural light and gentle direction, favouring candid interaction over stiff posing. That relaxed atmosphere helps even camera-shy children and parents feel at ease, so the laughter, tenderness and playful moments she captures feel authentic rather than staged. The result is a collection of family portraits that look and feel like you — timeless, emotive and beautifully composed. How she works with families is collaborative and personal. Alexandra starts by listening: understanding what moments matter most, the mood you want, and practical details such as favourite locations or meaningful at-home settings. From there she offers styling suggestions and location ideas tailored to your family’s personality, creating a calm, organised session where everyone knows what to expect. On the day, she blends relaxed prompts and playful encouragement with an observant eye, capturing both candid interactions and thoughtfully composed portraits. Alexandra brings meticulous care to every step after the shoot as well. Her editing emphasises natural tones and subtle retouching to preserve the emotion of each frame while ensuring professional polish. Based in Halesowen and serving families across the West Midlands, she welcomes sessions that range from outdoor afternoons to intimate at-home moments. If you want family portraits that feel lived-in, honest and enduring, Alexandra offers specialist family photography with a gentle, creative touch. She’s passionate about documenting the connections that matter — the small gestures, the shared smiles, the quiet hugs — and turning them into images your family will treasure.
