“I couldn't have hoped for a better photographer and human than Alba. She is so warm and welcoming and her positive energy allowed us to really feel comfortable and break the ice with her magical camera almost immediately.”

STORYTELLING PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY FOR FAMILIES AND COUPLES
Hi, I’m Albalone, a family photographer based in Margate. We all have a story. The choices we’ve made, the paths we’ve walked, and the love we’ve built—each chapter shapes who we are today. As a photographer, my job is to honour that journey and capture the moments that tell your story.
Before we meet in person, we’ll have a video call where you can share what’s important to you. I want to know your story—what’s brought you here, the highs and lows, what makes you laugh, what moves you. The more I understand you, the better I can create a session that truly feels like you—raw, honest, and real.
Our time together isn’t just about taking photos. It’s about creating something that reflects your family’s love and the life you’ve built. I’ll guide you through the process, helping you be present, to connect with each other, and to celebrate this chapter of your life. Through photographs and films, I want you to look back and feel all the emotions, the love, and the beauty of this moment. Because it’s not just about remembering, it’s about reliving it all over again.
MARGATE Family Photographer AND Filmmaker
Forget forced smiles; let’s capture the real moments that matter.
How does it work?
01 Let’s Prepare for Your Unforgettable Experience
To begin, simply submit a booking request through my pricing page. From there, we will arrange a video consultation. This is a time for you to share your story, the challenges you’ve faced, and your hopes for our time together. We’ll work together to craft a vision for your session, focusing on the meaningful details that matter most to you. I’ll guide you with a Welcome Guide, styling suggestions, and access to my client wardrobe. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose from a selection of beautiful locations from my Location Guide across Kent, London, Sussex, Surrey, Essex—or even further, should we arrange travel. I also offer family films, which can add a special depth to your memories.
02 Embrace the Moment
When we meet, we’ll take the time to slow down, reconnect, and truly embrace the love that unites your family. It’s a chance to be fully present, to cherish the little moments, the laughter, and the quiet in-between. In this warm, supportive space, you’ll simply be yourselves while I gently capture the unique story of your family, whether you choose photographs or video.
03 Receive Your Photographs and Video
Within a few weeks, your photographs and video will be ready in a private gallery. When you view them, you’ll be transported back to those precious moments. To preserve these memories, you may choose to display your images as prints, in a handcrafted Signature Album, or relive the moments through your film—a timeless reminder of the love and memories you’ve created during the session.
"Alba is the most amazing photographer- she makes you feel so comfortable and she is easy to work with. She is fantastic at capturing special moments and interactions. I also adore her as a person. She has great artistic talents and skills and would highly recommend her to anyone!"
– Colette
Photographs hold your journey—the places you’ve been, the challenges you’ve faced, and the unwavering home you have within your family.
What’s my Story?
Growing up, my parents captured countless photos of me, but rarely of us together. They divorced when I was five, leaving me with a sense of something missing—a gap in the story of our family. I don’t remember those early years or the love they once shared, and this absence inspired me to become someone who could capture moments of togetherness, joy, and love.
My childhood was spent wild and free in a small French village, running through fields with my family dogs. This connection to nature is woven into my sessions, which are almost always outdoors, embracing the beauty of every season. Just as your family’s story grows and heals, nature too is always transforming.
As a Margate Family Photographer and Filmmaker, I want to offer visual art that truly reflect each person’s story so they have tangible proof of their love.

“…As well as helping capture so many beautiful memories, she also was just a great person to spend a morning with, putting everybody at ease in front of the camera and keeping my 4yo and 2yo engaged and entertained. My son still asks when he's going to see "our friend Alba" to take more pictures- we'll be sure to make that happen again soon.”
