I’m Carla, a South Ruislip family photographer specialising in relaxed, contemporary family and children portraits. I capture natural connections at home or on location to create heirloom images.
I specialise in family lifestyle portrait photography from my base in South Ruislip. For me the joy of this work is simple: documenting real relationships, everyday moments and the small details that become treasured memories. My approach is contemporary and relaxed — I look for natural connections and genuine expressions rather than stiff poses, so your gallery feels like an honest reflection of your family. Working with me is easy and personal. We begin with a friendly phone consultation so I can understand what you want and suggest locations or styling that suit your family. Sessions are designed to be unrushed so children can relax and show their personalities; I give gentle direction to help everyone feel comfortable and to bring out natural interactions. I shoot both in your home, using my mobile studio and favourite props, and on location in the soft natural light of parks, woodlands or your favourite family spot across West London. My experience — photographing families since 2009 — has taught me how to capture those fleeting moments: the way siblings play, the quiet exchanges between parents and children, the tiny details that change so fast. I’m fully insured, CRB checked and I treat every family with warmth and professionalism. I aim to make sessions enjoyable and stress-free, often resulting in beautiful relaxed portraits and spirited candid images. After the shoot we have a private home viewing where we sit together and select the images you love. I help you design heirloom wall displays, albums or keepsake prints so your favourite images can become part of your home. I offer curated product collections to make choosing easier, but I’m always happy to discuss bespoke presentations if you have a particular idea. If you’re looking for a family photographer in South Ruislip who values storytelling, natural light and heirloom-quality portraits, I’d love to chat over a cuppa and hear about your family. Get in touch to discuss your ideas and arrange a consultation — I’m passionate about creating images that you’ll treasure for generations.
