BABY AND FAMILY AT HOME PHOTOGRAPHY


Hey, I'm Nicola


As you've gathered, I'm a photographer living in Stoke Newington, Hackney. I have twenty years experience under my belt - I'm also a mum of two teenage girls (yeah, I know, right – it's like living with ravenous, nocturnal magpies). So rest assured, if booking me for a family shoot, or a wedding with small people darting this way and that, I've been to Motherland. Not just watched it on telly.


Recently I reflected on the crazy similarities between having a toddler and a teenager. Both have bedroom floors scattered with sharp or sticky obstacles that hinder a parent's path to locate dirty laundry and half-eaten food. Both age groups are also ruled by powerful emotions, swinging from laughter to tears in a second. And that's all before bedtime.


Are you still with me? Luckily, I have a calm, friendly manner and the patience of a saint (yeah, right, Mum!). Which hopefully comes in useful when photographing tricky babies, teens . . . and sometimes the "grown-ups".


Anyway, I cannot wait to meet you and hear your life story (one of the best bits about my job). So do please do get in touch, even if not yet ready to book a shoot, and we can talk photography, branding, parenting – and the latest crazy stuff going on in the world.

“We had Nicola do a newborn shoot at our home in 2021. She was confident and professional - getting great photos in just a few hours (what you want with a new baby and an older child!). She was happy to look at our Pinterest wish list of photos and recreate some styles we liked.
The photos were delivered very quickly and were amazing - we bought them all because couldn't choose...!
Have already recommended to a friend.”
