Hi, I'm Susan


I'm a North London photographer and mum myself and I am very proud that in 2026 I opened my small and cosy photography studio in North Finchley (appointments by request only). I photograph families and babies in my studio and at a location of your choice - outdoors or at your home (absolutely no travel costs within London).


I also travel a lot for photography sessions, so please, don't hesitate to reach out to me if you are outside London (very reasonable travel costs could apply).


I know how quickly children grow and how hard it can be to get everyone in front of the camera.

My sessions are relaxed, fun and designed to capture your family exactly as they are right now.
