Family and children photographer
Memories
This time is precious, and children’s personalities and cheeky expressions all change too quickly. Family photos provide an important record that lasts forever.
Emotions
Like fondly-remembered music, family photos can be powerfully evocative. They take us right back to that moment, and how it felt to be there.
Connections
A quiet moment with mum or dad, siblings at play, or just a beautifully captured expression. My images portray the people and relationships in your family with honesty and tenderness.
“The whole experience was a joy from start to finish and the photos are absolutely beautiful.”

Family photography in
North London
Relaxed, natural portraits and family stories
Hi, I’m Simon, a family and children photographer, working in the North London area (including Hampstead, West Hampstead and Camden) as well as in Leighton Buzzard and surrounding areas (including Tring and Berkhamsted).
I specialise in natural-light photography, creating stunning portraits and documentary-style images that provide beautiful memories of your time together.
I love how photography makes people feel - that’s more important to me than creating a pretty picture. Capturing a moment of connection, of joy, of quiet reflection. Those little gestures and expressions, easily missed but so meaningful. These are the images that really matter - the ones you and your children will look back on and treasure in years to come.
Your everyday is full of magic
Things that seem ordinary now will have so much meaning when you look back on them in years to come. Lazy weekend mornings spent relaxing at home together, a walk in the park, a family celebration. All of this is unique and special. I take great pride in preserving those memories for you, with beautiful images of loving relationships, individual personalities and cheeky smiles.
“Simon has an incredible ability for capturing the magic in the (often mundane or hectic) moments of family life. Never posed or contrived, his photos are beautiful, touching, often funny and always full of love.”

Come as you are
Gone are the days of dressing up and smiling awkwardly into the camera. For me, family photography is about finding meaning and beauty in the everyday.
It’s an old cliché, but every picture tells a story - your story. And the beauty of my kind of family photography is that nothing needs to be made up - it’s all there, right in front of us. A trip to the park, a walk in the woods, or a lazy Saturday morning at home, the best photos are simply a record of those normal, precious moments.
