Today these photos are important to you.

In the future, they will be important to your children.

As a mum, you know how precious it is to freeze time, even if just for a moment. Whether you're looking to document your baby’s early milestones or simply want to capture how quickly they’re growing, I’m here to help. If you missed the newborn session stage, don’t worry - there’s still so much beauty to capture at every stage of your child’s life.

You’re often the one behind the camera, capturing the giggles, cuddles, and chaos of daily life - but that means you’re rarely in the photos. That’s where I come in. I’m here to help you create timeless, heartfelt photographs where you get to be part of the memories too.

Whether your little ones are running wild in a local park or snuggling with you at home, I’ll be there to document your family’s authentic connection - no stiff posing, no forced smiles, just genuine moments that tell your story.

“I found Zofia on IG and reached out. From the moment I made contact with her, she was professional, accommodating, patient and made us feel at ease. The day of the shoot was fun, and she worked on getting to know us better so that she could capture us authentically. We had fun, the final products arrived packaged beautifully and we were happy customers. We will be using Zofia again. Thank you, Zofia!”

— Demi, family photoshoot

I want your children to be wild and carefree just as they were born to be. They don’t need to sit still or look at the camera.

Let’s capture the spontaneous and meaningful memories as they unfold. These photos will become family heirlooms, and as time goes you will all love them more and more.

I let my sessions flow organically, following the child’s needs. As a mum, I know how important it is to be patient with children and I might know a few good jokes to overcome camera shyness and provoke those sweet giggles. All I need from you is to interact and play with your sweethearts as you normally would.

When families reach out to me, they’re not just looking for photos - they’re looking for a way to pause time and hold onto those fleeting moments with their children. My style is all about connection, warmth, and capturing those natural, unposed moments that make your family special.

If you’re looking for a relaxed session where your children can just be themselves and you can enjoy the moment, I’d love to be your photographer.

Choosing the Right Location

Your family photoshoot can take place wherever feels most meaningful to you. It could be:

  • At Home – Perfect for capturing everyday life in a familiar, comfortable setting.

  • In the City – South London has beautiful spots that offer a vibrant urban backdrop.

  • Outdoors – Parks, gardens, or open fields provide space for little ones to explore and play freely.

No matter where we shoot, I’ll create a relaxed atmosphere so you can enjoy the experience and focus on connecting with your loved ones.

“I had the most incredible experience during our family photoshoot with Zofia, and I cannot recommend her enough! The entire session was filled with laughter, joy, and a relaxed atmosphere that allowed us to truly enjoy this time together. I am so happy to finally have beautiful photographs with my daughter!”

Want to know more?

  • Children can be unpredictable, and that’s part of the magic! To help them feel excited rather than anxious, talk to them in advance about how fun the session will be. Keep it positive and light. Some parents like to offer a small treat or plan a fun activity afterwards—like a trip for ice cream—as an incentive.

    If your little one is feeling shy or restless on the day, don’t worry—I have plenty of tricks (and a few silly jokes) to bring out their natural smiles and giggles.

  • The right age for a family photoshoot? Honestly, it’s anytime! Whether your little one is two months old and just starting to roll, a cheeky toddler taking their first steps, or an older child showing off their personality—every stage is beautiful and worth documenting. Each session is designed to capture your family exactly as they are, preserving these moments before they pass by.

  • Choosing outfits for a family photoshoot can feel overwhelming, but I’m here to help. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive a detailed guide with styling tips for the whole family. The key is to wear something comfortable that allows freedom of movement. Flowy maxi dresses, soft knits, and neutral tones often photograph beautifully. And if you need a second opinion, send me a message and I’ll be happy to help!

  • A typical family photoshoot lasts between 1 to 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time to capture plenty of candid moments, while keeping things relaxed and fun for everyone. I always follow the lead of your little ones, ensuring we have breaks when needed and allowing for natural interactions. If it’s an at-home session, we can even include some of your family’s favourite activities to keep things playful and authentic.

  • My session fee is £200, which covers the photoshoot itself, my time, and preparation. After the session, you’ll have the option to choose from three different collections starting at £300. Detailed pricing and what’s included in each collection can be found on my pricing page. This way, you can decide what works best for your family and ensure you get the images you love in a format that suits you—whether that’s digital files, prints, or a beautifully crafted album.

Why Choose Me?

As a mum of three, I understand the chaos and beauty of life with young children. My goal is to make the experience enjoyable for everyone - even those who aren’t usually fans of being in front of the camera! I approach each session with patience, flexibility, and a sense of humour, ensuring we capture real smiles and genuine emotions.

I believe family photos should be more than just pretty pictures to hang on the wall. They should tell your story - the sweet baby smell, the sound of your child’s giggle, the warmth of your partner’s embrace. These are the memories that matter, and I can’t wait to help you preserve them.

One day, these photos will remind your children of how deeply they were loved, even in the smallest everyday moments.
