Thank you for visiting — I’m Helen, a Harringay-based family photographer specialising in natural‑light, outdoor family portraits across North London and the surrounding areas. I believe the best photographs grow from comfortable moments: the small, unscripted gestures, the laughter between siblings, the quiet hug from a parent. My approach is warm, relaxed and — as my clients say — fun and undaunting, designed to feel like a normal day out rather than a formal photoshoot. Why choose me? I specialise in family photography and have built my practice around capturing honest, timeless images. Using natural light and outdoor locations such as your local park or a favourite green space — even a woodland or forest — I aim to create vibrant, natural portraits that reflect your family’s personality. Whether you’re looking for newborn or baby portraits, lively children’s sessions, or to mark a first birthday with meaningful photos, my focus is on authenticity over posed perfection. What makes my approach special is a combination of gentle direction and documentary observation. I’ll suggest simple, easy activities to encourage connection and laughter, but I also watch for the spontaneous, fleeting moments that tell your family’s story. Sessions are informal and child-friendly; I work at your family’s pace so toddlers can play and newborns can be comforted, resulting in images that feel honest and relaxed. How we work together: from our first message I’ll help you choose a location and time that suits your family and the natural light. On the day, I aim to put everyone at ease — no stress, no rigid posing — and deliver a gallery of edited images that are natural, timeless and ready to display at home. Turnaround and delivery details are discussed when you book so expectations are clear. Pets are welcome too — I know how much animals mean to families — and I’m happy to include them in sessions when you’d like. Above all, my goal is to give you photographs you’ll return to again and again: real moments, honest emotion and a sense of place that reminds you of a day spent together. If you’re in Harringay or nearby in North London and want relaxed, beautiful family photos, I’d love to hear from you.
