FAMILY
These are the days.
Let’s document the everyday moments, love and tender connections between you and your family.
The photographs we create together will capture your family in a candid, natural way – all you have to do is spend time together doing the things you enjoy most, and I will be there to capture you as you are.
Let go of chasing the perfect moment. What if your most meaningful images weren’t posed at all but emerged through moments of play? Just the joy of being in it – the laughter, the chaos, the little arms wrapped tightly around you. Because with little ones, it’s never about control but about being present and allowing yourself to be seen in the middle of it all.
“From start to finish, the experience was so positive and memorable for the whole family.
Leading up to the shoot, Lisa was incredibly helpful with outfit ideas and prep – it made everything feel so easy and low-stress, which was a huge relief. I did have a few nerves beforehand (mainly wondering if the kids would cooperate!), but Lisa instantly put us all at ease. She has such a calming, joyful presence; it felt like having a good friend with us on a cozy Sunday morning.“
– Sogol, mother to Avina & Cyra
How shall we pose?
There are no specific rules here. I will ensure to capture you at your best and that’s when you feel most comfortable: interacting with each other, sharing a little kiss, laughing and playing with your kids. Every now and then, I will offer gentle suggestions such as turning more towards the light or engaging differently with each other. There is no pressure and if something isn’t working for you or your little ones, we will simply try something else.
Where do london family photography sessions take place?
I want you to relax and enjoy our session together – whether that’s in the comfort of your home which will hold many special memories for you, or at another London location that is meaningful to you as a family. Time permitting, we can start in your home and move to your garden / a close by park after. For outdoors sessions, I love Kensington Gardens or Chiswick House if you are located in West London. I’m always happy to make suggestions depending on your preferences and location, and be as flexible as possible.
WHAT IF MY CHILDREN DON'T WANT TO SIT STILL?
I don’t expect them to, quite the contrary. My style is taking natural, unposed images. Our sessions together will always be easy-going, joyful and tailored to your family. I am a mother to a toddler and a baby myself, so appreciate things can be a little unpredictable! I will spend time getting to know your children and have a few simple tricks to keep them engaged throughout our session together.
What should I/we wear?
It’ s most important to feel yourself. I am always happy to share ideas and we can discuss this before our family photography session during the complimentary styling consultation. I generally recommend neutral tones (white, beige, greys, pastels etc.) and ideally no bold patterns. Think complimentary colours instead of matching each other. Have a look this blog post detailing what to wear for your family photoshoot.
