Authentic newborn and family photography in London
Artful family photography that feels like you
You want great family photos—but you dread the idea of a photoshoot. What you’re after is a hassle-free experience that captures your family as you really are.
You take a no-nonsense approach to parenting. You bring your personality in your home — whether through art, objects, or interiors. You have a creative eye, whether in your work or your style. You don’t take yourself too seriously.
You don’t want mainstream, aspirational family photos that feel more like a cookie-cutter, idealised version of life. You want photos that are honest and unique—reflecting real family life in an artful way.
You’ve got countless photos on your phone, but never get around to printing them. You want the same in-the-moment feel you capture every day, but done professionally. And most importantly, you want photos that feel real—no forced smiles, no over-romanticised clichés.
Is this you? Let’s make it happen.
About me
I’m an award-winning family and newborn photographer based in London, specialising in reportage-style photography. I'm passionate about capturing real family life as art. For the last two years, I’ve been ranked among the Top 10 Documentary Family Photographers in the world. My work has been featured in Vogue and Grazia. I capture meaningful and authentic photographs of family life in the comfort of your home.
Let me capture your family.
What I do
-
Newborn & baby photoshoots
Relaxed and unposed sessions to capture those special early days and weeks of babyhood, with gentle artistic direction to maximise natural light and colour palettes. Held at your home.
-
Family photoshoots
A photography session without the fuss. These unposed, candid and relaxed photoshoots are not about showing perfection, but documenting real, perfectly imperfect moments. All you need to do is be yourselves. Held at your home or local park.
About my photography style
Authentic. Artful. Real.
I take a ‘reportage’ approach to family photography, which means allowing you and your family to be yourselves. I don’t pose or direct you and I don’t stage the photos.
The photoshoot is informal and relaxed, at your home or at a location of your choice. There is no need to buy matching outfits with earthy colours, or to bribe the kids to be at their best behaviour. You don’t need to tidy the house, or to trek to a location during the golden hour hoping it won’t rain.
My experience and skills lie in creating beautiful photographs capturing the real-life story of your family as art, curated for you to display and treasure forever.
Simple pricing. Premium offering.
My newborn & family photography sessions last about 1.5 hours and are priced at £350. This fee includes the session and ten digital images (with the option to upgrade). I also offer a bespoke selection of museum grade fine-art prints, heirloom albums and framed products.
“Fran really and truly captured our family in such a natural way, while also producing beautifully stylish photos. She has an amazing ability to not just photograph our daughters, but also to capture the relationship between them in a really moving way. We are bowled over by the results!”
