Leytonstone family photography by Ghene Snowdon. Specialising in natural, relaxed family photoshoots for newborns, babies, children and whole-family portraits on location.
Hello — I’m Ghene (pronounced “gene”) Snowdon, a Leytonstone-based family photography specialist. Family portraits are at the heart of my work: I love documenting the small, honest moments — the giggles, the sticky-fingered chaos, the quiet cuddles and even the grumpy faces that say so much. Those images become the keepsakes families treasure and pass down through generations. I approach every family photoshoot with a gentle, no-pressure style. Drawing on a lifetime of photographing big family gatherings back in the Philippines and later rediscovering photography while living in Nice, I create a relaxed atmosphere so everyone — from newborns and toddlers to grandparents — can be themselves. My sessions usually take place on location in Leytonstone or nearby parks and at your home with my mobile studio, giving you the comfort and authenticity of familiar surroundings. My family sessions are especially suited to newborn photography, baby photography, children photography and milestone shoots like baptisms, communions and birthdays. Before we shoot, we’ll have a friendly consultation to understand what you want to remember and how you’d like to display your images. I take time with composition and natural light to create timeless family portraits that feel honest, warm and individual to your story. On the day I focus on connection and fun — prompts, gentle direction and playful moments help bring out real expressions without staging or stiff poses. After the session, your images are uploaded to a private online gallery with print options; I don’t believe in hard-sell, so you choose what suits your home and budget. Based in Leytonstone and serving families across Greater London, I bring a craftsman’s eye (I grew up making things and still enjoy creative projects) and a professional, warm manner to every shoot. If you want natural, professional family photos that capture the personality and bond of your family — newborn, baby, children or a full-family portrait — I’d love to hear about your plans and create something you’ll proudly display for years to come.
