Simon Jones Photography

Simon Jones Photography is focused entirely on family photography, bringing a calm, personal approach to every shoot in Harlesden and the surrounding London neighbourhoods. Simon specialises in creating relaxed, natural images that reflect real family life—candid smiles, quiet connections and the little everyday gestures that become treasured memories. What sets Simon apart is his emphasis on atmosphere and authenticity. Rather than forcing staged poses, he gently guides families and children into comfortable interactions, using conversation, playful prompts and unobtrusive direction to capture spontaneous moments. His sessions are designed to feel familiar and fun: at-home shoots allow children to be themselves in a safe environment, while on-location sessions take advantage of local parks, streets and light to create varied, expressive portraits. Simon’s philosophy is simple — great family photos come from trust and ease. He invests time in getting to know each family before the session to understand what matters most: the relationships, the heirlooms, the little traditions. This personalised preparation helps him anticipate moments and frame images that tell a story, producing photographs that look and feel like you. Working with Simon is collaborative and straightforward. He focuses on making the experience relaxed for parents and engaging for children, keeping energy positive and sessions flowing so genuine emotions can emerge naturally. He offers clear guidance during the shoot and takes care in selecting compositions and lighting that flatter each family while remaining true to their character. The result is a collection of timeless family portraits and candid images you’ll want to display and share—photos that grow more meaningful over time. If you’re looking for a Harlesden family photographer who prioritises warmth, authenticity and a calm, enjoyable session experience, Simon Jones brings specialist family expertise and a thoughtful, storytelling approach to every shoot.
