Newborn
Slow, patient sessions with room for feeding, settling, diaper changes, and all the little pauses a new baby needs.
Hi, I'm Claudia
I started with my own family. Now I'd love to photograph yours.
I'm a mum of two, a lifelong photo-taker, and the person behind Claudia Photography in Hyde Park, London. I care about getting a beautiful portrait, but I'm just as interested in the tiny hands, sideways smiles, and completely unplanned moments that make a family feel like itself.

01 — How this started
Motherhood made me want to remember everything.
I've always loved taking photos, but it became something much bigger when my first baby was born. Suddenly I wanted to photograph every month, every milestone, every holiday, and plenty of ordinary Tuesdays too.
We booked photographers for some of those bigger moments, but I kept wanting to make more of those images myself. So I bought my own camera and lenses, learned Lightroom and Photoshop, and started turning our regular family moments into full photo shoots.
Over the last two and a half years, photography has become part of our family life. Friends and family kept noticing the photos, I kept loving the process, and eventually the idea became pretty simple: maybe I could create that same feeling for other families too.
02 — During your session
You don't need perfectly behaved kids.
Really. I have two little ones of my own. I know what it's like to negotiate with a toddler, pause for a baby, fix a tiny outfit, and try again. I'll give enough direction to keep things moving and help everyone look their best, without turning the session into an hour of being told exactly where to put every hand.
If your child wiggles, needs a break, or decides the plan is terrible, we adapt.
03 — What I photograph
Family
Gentle direction without expecting little kids to stand perfectly still. We work with their personalities, not against them.
Maternity
A relaxed way to document the anticipation, connection, and tiny details before your family changes again.
For now, I'm intentionally keeping the focus here rather than trying to photograph everything. Newborns, families, and maternity are where I want to build something really good.
04 — Where we'll shoot
Based in Hyde Park, London.
Most sessions are designed around coming to me in the Hyde Park area, where we can keep things simple and comfortable. I'm also happy to plan local outdoor sessions at parks and other nearby neutral locations when that fits the photos better.
