Portrayed Photography captures honest, playful family moments in Peckham and South London. Specialist family photographer focusing on natural portraits of newborns, babies and children.
Portrayed Photography is a Peckham-based specialist in family photography, committed to creating natural, emotive portraits that reflect real family life. As a dedicated family photographer I focus on relaxed, story-led sessions that let relationships and personality take centre stage rather than stiff poses. Whether you’re welcoming a newborn, marking a child’s milestone, or simply wanting authentic family portraits, my approach is gentle, unhurried and tailored to your family’s rhythm. I believe the best family photos come from keeping things simple and comfortable. Sessions are designed to feel like an easy afternoon with loved ones—laughing, exploring, and being yourselves. I work sensitively with babies and young children, using a calm, patient manner to capture those fleeting expressions and small details parents treasure. For older children I blend candid moments with a few guided portraits so everyone looks and feels like themselves. Local to Peckham and active across South London, I shoot on location in the places families know and love: at home for intimate newborn and family portraits, in nearby parks for playful outdoor shoots, or at my Dulwich space when a studio setting suits the session. My style favours natural light, warm tones and a documentary sensibility that results in images which will sit comfortably on your walls and in your albums for years to come. Working with Portrayed Photography begins with a friendly pre-shoot conversation to understand what matters most to you—timings, favourite locations, and any special moments you want captured. On the day I guide relaxed interactions, keep sessions child-centred and focus on honest connection rather than forced smiles. After the shoot I apply careful editing to deliver images that feel true to your family’s character. While family photography is my core specialism, I also photograph newborns, babies, children and family milestones such as baptisms, communions and birthday portraits when required. If you’re in Peckham or South London and want a family photoshoot that’s calm, personal and rooted in real life, Portrayed Photography offers an experienced, thoughtful approach that prioritises comfort, connection and enduring images.
