Giselle Photography

I’m Giselle — a family photographer who specialises in creating relaxed, authentic family portraits for clients in Surbiton, SW London and Surrey. As a mum of two and an architect-turned-photographer, I combine patience, an eye for composition and a natural, conversational approach to help families feel calm and truly themselves in front of the camera. Why choose me for your family photoshoot? I believe family portraits should be more than posed pictures — they should be a photographic experience. My aim is to capture the small, unscripted moments that make your family unique: the tiny smiles, the playful connections between siblings, the gentle hugs. My architectural background gives me a strong sense of design, negative space and light, which I use to create timeless images with a contemporary, elegant feel. My approach is gentle and child-friendly. I focus on building trust with little ones through patience, play and encouragement so that natural expressions appear organically. Whether you prefer the intimacy of a cosy studio session or the relaxed energy of an outdoor shoot, I guide families with simple prompts rather than stiff poses — making sessions feel easy, fun and stress-free. I take care to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where parents can relax and children can be themselves. How we work together: every family booking begins with a friendly consultation so we can plan a session that suits your personality and needs. I provide preparation guidance to help with outfits, timings and props, and I’m always happy to adapt ideas to ensure everyone is comfortable. After the shoot you’ll view your images in a private gallery or in-person reveal — a chance to enjoy your photos and choose the best keepsakes for your home. My work is rooted in a love for family life and a belief that portraits are one of the most precious heirlooms you can create. If you want professional family photos that feel genuine, beautifully composed and made with care, I’d love to capture your story in Surbiton or nearby. Get in touch and let’s plan a family photoshoot that you’ll treasure for years to come.
