The 12 Best Family Photographers in London

Fine-art wedding photographer Inna Kostukovsky can’t resist the family market’s strong attraction to her personality, a common trait, it seems, among London family photographers. It’s difficult, after all, to ignore the draw to “create love-filled images full of laughter and giggles,” as she puts it, and “bottle up these moments so you keep them forever”.

That the softly bright and happy images she captures and bottles up are rewarding to both her and her clients really shows through in her uplifting work. Just glance through her portfolio, and you will see vibrant images of families in the moment, genuinely enjoying their time together.

Her son being born was the spark that kindled Zofia May’s passion for family lifestyle photography, compelling her to focus her services and energies on photographing families and the little ones. “I fell in love with capturing details that tell a story and show beautiful connections between people,” she explains.

You can feel the warmth in May as she discusses her work. And interestingly enough, the images in her portfolio all appear to also embody that lovely, very subtle hint of warmth and emotion, with a proliferation of light brown and reddish tones — not a dominating tonal cast, but just enough to tweak hearts and memories.

With today’s digital, no-film photography, it’s Susheel Schroeder’s black-and-white photographs that caught our eye. An editorial portrait photographer, Schroeder also works with color, but her monochrome images of family life and motherhood are striking.

Her natural light, candid photographs are obviously contemporary; in black-and-white, however, the effect and stories they tell are somewhat … different, to say the least. Maybe more intriguing and contemplative. And yet undoubtedly beautiful. Definitely worth a look-see.

Samantha is a heart-centered, soulful portrait photographer. She specializes in natural family photography, stories of motherhood, and newborn lifestyle photography. She captures meaningful portraits through real connections and creative storytelling. Samantha’s sessions suit warm-hearted souls, families and loving mamas and papas. Her motherhood sessions would suit those Mamas and lovers who wish to embrace the elements and their wild at heart. Her sessions are filled with light, love, laughs and lots of soul.

Helen Bartlett runs her own London-based photography studio, and unlike many of the other photogs on this list, family photography is her main focus. She is a documentary-style photographer who has taken artistic black-and-white images of families for nearly two decades. If you think you’ll miss colorful pictures of your family, just look through her portfolio. Her monochromatic style heightens the action while making a moment in time feel even more special.
