Greenwich Family Photographer
Natural, editorial style family photography in Greenwich
This is the place I know best.
Every path, every pocket of light, every quiet corner.
I’ve been based in Greenwich for over 26 years and there’s a reason most of my family sessions happen within a mile or two of home. I know where the evening light falls through the trees in all the parks, which streets stay quiet on a Saturday morning, and the spots that feel completely private even in the middle of SE10. When you book a Greenwich family session with me, you get a photographer who isn’t just visiting, it’s our neighbourhood through my lens.
why Greenwich
There’s a reason Greenwich families like yours choose to stay local
Greenwich has something most locations can’t offer, variety within walking distance. We can start in the park, my favourite one in the whole of London! we. can wander near the Maritime Museum and Old Royal Naval College, and finish by the river near the Cutty Sark, all without getting in a car. The light here shifts beautifully between one tree hill and the avenues, it gives every session a sense of place that feels both timeless and meaningful to you. Especially if, like me, you’ve spent long days here with the kids.
I’ve photographed families in Greenwich Park in every season. The famous Spring blossom, summer evenings and birthday parties in the flower garden, or maybe a spot with a view of Canary Wharf glowing behind, autumn leaves turning in the avenues amongst the evergreen trees mid-winter. Each one looks completely different and individually beautiful.
Whether we stay in the park or explore the town, the river, the backstreets around Royal Hill or the market your photos will feel rooted in a real place that’s familiar to you.
The simple fact is, you won’t regret it.
My Approach
Family life moves in phases, each one precious and incredibly brief. The age they are right now, the way your youngest reaches for their big brother’s hand, the chaos and tenderness that fill an ordinary afternoon, this version of your family is already quietly changing.
I work through observation and gentle direction. I’m not interested in stiff poses or forced smiles. I’m watching for the moments in between, the giggling, the whispering, the running ahead. My job is to notice them and frame them beautifully.
Because I shoot in Greenwich so often, I can focus entirely on your family rather than figuring out the location. I already know where to stand, where to walk next, and when the light is about to do something lovely. That familiarity shows up in the photographs

I’M ANDREA
Family photographer, Greenwich local.
I’ve lived and worked in Greenwich for 26 years, I’ve raised my children here and it has shaped the way I work. There’s a groundedness to this part of London, the wealth of green space and urban texture that I think that comes through in my photography. I’m drawn to real moments in real places, not manufactured perfection.
My abiding memories of growing up were leafing through stacks of old family photo albums, memories and personalities frozen in time. That feeling never left me, and it’s what I want your family to experience when they look at their photos. Your story, with you in it.
Since 2011 I’ve photographed hundreds of families, many of them right here in Greenwich and Blackheath. Some prefer relaxed sessions at home. Others want to explore the park, the riverside, the quiet residential streets. Both approaches create natural, meaningful images, and we can always combine the two.

Use the contact form to get in touch with any questions and to find out my available dates.
02.
Planning your session
Once we found a date that works, I’ll open your online client portal where you’ll complete your booking form, this helps me to get to know you and your family a bit better and understand what you want most from the shoot.
This is the perfect time to think about having the shoot at home (read my what to expect article here) or outdoors in this lovely part of London, you can always combine both! Greenwich offers beautiful options from the park and the Old Royal Naval College to quieter residential streets.
Choosing what to wear is important to the overall look and feel of your images, if you need help with this I’ve got you, I can send some guidance.
03.
On the day
Every family is different. So every session is unique, I’m led by the kids and their needs throughout. When there’s a relaxed atmosphere, you and your kids will shine. Try not to have too many preconceived ideas about how your session will evolve or how your kids will react.
If you make the focus of your time connecting, exploring and chatting with your loved ones, sometimes ignoring the fact I’m there, we’ll have an incredible outcome. The magic happens when we let go.
I’ll guide you when needed, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, just so we have the best light and flattering angles.
Plan for up two hours with me, we can break for snacks and chats. I’m yet to hear a client say it hasn’t flown by!
04.
After your session
I will hand edit the very best images from your online gallery. There will be at least 60 in total but often there is more. Any unflattering or less than perfect images will not make the cut.
Within 2-4 weeks you’ll receive a link to your gallery. You can view a beautiful slideshow of the highlights and then all the edited images from your session.
This is when you decide which collection you’d like to purchase, if you haven’t already. Once you’ve chosen the entire shop will open and you can purchase add ons such as prints, albums and frames.
