What I do

London newborn photography
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.

London family photography
A photography session without the fuss. I capture real-life moments and authentic connections. These unposed, candid and curated photographs are not about showing perfection, but documenting real, perfectly imperfect stories that will last forever. All you need to do is be yourselves.
London family photoshoot pricing
My documentary family photography sessions last about 1.5 to 2 hours and are priced at £350. I also offer a bespoke selection of museum grade fine-art prints, heirloom albums and framed products.
About my documentary family photography style
I take a documentary approach to family photography, which means allowing you and your family to be yourselves and enjoy your day together. 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, curated for you to display and treasure forever.
Testimonials
“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!”
