Shani Monica Photo specialises in relaxed, natural family photography in Harringay and across London. In-home, pop-up and newborn sessions capture authentic moments and timeless family portraits.
Shani Monica Photo is a Harringay-based specialist in family photography, dedicated to capturing the real, everyday moments that make your family unique. Born and raised in London, Shani’s work celebrates connection — the spontaneous laughter, quiet cuddles and the small rituals that become your family’s story. Her approach is warm, considered and gentle: she guides rather than directs, creating an atmosphere where children feel free to be themselves and parents can relax into the moment. Shani blends in-home lifestyle sessions with carefully curated pop-up studio experiences (The Little Pop-Up Studio), giving families options to choose what feels most authentic. Whether it’s a cosy morning in your kitchen, a playful afternoon in local woodlands, or a seasonal pop-up with on-theme styling, each session prioritises natural light, candid interaction and simple, timeless compositions that look as beautiful on your wall as they do in your heart. What sets Shani apart is her commitment to both craft and care. She understands the ebb and flow of family life — the unpredictable toddler energy, the newborn’s gentle rhythms — and designs sessions that are patient, playful and efficient. Clients receive a thoughtful experience from first contact: a friendly pre-shoot conversation to understand your family’s personality, helpful outfit and styling guidance, and a relaxed session pace that keeps everyone comfortable. She also treasures printed keepsakes and regularly includes beautiful prints with sessions so your images are enjoyed, not left on a hard drive. Shani specialises in family, newborn, baby and children photography, and is experienced with milestone moments such as birthdays and religious celebrations. Based in Harringay and working across London and beyond, she treats every session as an opportunity to document love in its truest form — honest, joyful and lasting. Choose Shani Monica Photo when you want a family photographer who values story as much as style, who will make you feel at ease in front of the lens, and who delivers images you’ll want to display and pass down for generations.
