I believe every family is beautiful and deserves to be photographed. As time goes by, your children will grow and your memories will fade. Capturing them at every stage of their life is so precious, as these moments will never happen again.
A little back story
When I was 15, both of my parents, who were at that stage divorced, gave me all the pictures they had of me, all within in a big messy box. There were so many! I decided to organise those in chronological order and saw my childhood unfold before my eyes, from my birth to my teenage years. And something I realised is that they loved me so much and were so dedicated to capturing these every moment.
But something was missing: pictures together. Sure, there was some of me with my dad, or my mother, or my siblings… but never all of us together. And now that I am a grown-up, I’m missing that. I would have loved to own a professional photo of our family, when my parents were still united, to display in my home and show to my own children.
Why this is important?
This is why I want to capture your family together, sharing this connection. Showing how strong, united, loved you are.
For this, I want to photograph you in a natural environment where you feel comfortable, this being at your home, or outdoors. I like to shoot in the golden hour to enjoy the best light. My sessions are relaxed. I like to work with movements, where we will move our bodies and play games. I will guide you through the session and the time will fly by.
We all live in a busy schedule and we need this time to pause and truly connect with our loved ones as they are the only thing that truly matters in our life.

My style
I consider myself a lifestyle photographer, and would describe my style as raw and authentic; I like capturing organic moments, that looks natural and relaxed, with true laughter and connection. I want my images to be timeless so I keep the editing light, with simple clothing and makeup. My sessions are fun and each photograph feels playful, like a childhood memory.
My goal
My goal is to capture gorgeous images of your family for you to print and display in your home. Digital images are great, as you will be able to share those pictures on your social media platforms, but within the years they will be lost and forgotten. So I highly recommend printing your images!
I would’ve never inherited my childhood photographs if they were not developed, the original analogue films had been lost a long time ago!
By ordering an album, you will own a family heirloom, that is a tangible asset and will be passed to your children. After your session, in 5 years, 10 years or 40 years from now, you will be able to show this album to your kids and grandkids. And the best is that you don’t have to lift a finger, I will design this album for you.
Now What to do?
I want you to pause and ask yourself: “Do we have enough pictures as a family?”. Well, most of my client’s answer is no, as your children grow and evolve so quickly.
As I want to offer the best quality to my clients, I only offer 2 family sessions per week, on Fridays and Saturdays. So don’t waste any precious time, Book Now your Family session for Spring/Summer 2022, the calendar will be booked fast!
I can’t wait to meet you all,
Alba.
Your North London Family Photographer.
