Sophie Giddens Photography

As a family photography specialist based in Harringay, I focus on creating natural, unstaged images that feel timeless and true to your family. My work is rooted in a laidback approach: I aim to make sessions feel easy and joyful so you can relax and be yourselves. Whether you’re welcoming a newborn, celebrating a milestone, or simply want professional family portraits, I bring a calm, observant eye to every shoot. I often work in your home or at a place that matters to you, because I love using the textures, colours and light that already surround your family. These familiar details give photographs warmth and depth — the corner of a favourite chair, late morning sun pouring through the window, small hands exploring a blanket. For newborn shoots I recommend flexible scheduling around the early weeks so we can catch those quiet, fleeting moments when baby is newly arrived. My process blends documentary sensitivity with gentle direction. I spend time at the start of a session understanding how you live and what moments you most want to remember. Then I move around your day-to-day life, letting real interactions unfold while offering small prompts when people (especially little ones) need a light nudge. The aim is to preserve authentic expressions, playful energy and those intimate, everyday connections that make a family portrait truly yours. I care about sustainability and run my business with that in mind — favouring public transport, caring for digital storage, and working with clients and brands who share similar values. This ethos informs how I work: thoughtful, considered and slow enough to notice the details that matter. If you’re looking for family photography in Harringay or greater London — newborn photography, baby and children shoots, or a relaxed family portrait session — I’d love to hear about your plans. I create galleries you’ll want to live with, keepsakes you’ll share, and a photoshoot experience that feels peaceful and memorable.
