Hi I'm Shal

As a Newborn, Maternity, and Family photographer based in New Malden, I proudly cover the vibrant regions of Kingston upon Thames, South West London, and the scenic Surrey area. With a passion for capturing the intimate and tender moments of life’s most precious stages, my goal is to create timeless memories for you and your loved ones.

Whether it’s a naturally posed session or a more casual lifestyle session, your newborn photography experience should be relaxing, special and memorable. The days following the birth can be a whirlwind of activity and emotions, so think of your newborn session as a time to slow down and savour some quiet moments with your new baby. Bookings are often booked up a few months in advance so get in touch today to talk about how we can capture your special memories.
Using neutral colours in all of my photoshoots, will provide you with a beautiful gallery of images that will never go out of style. One that you and your family will be able to treasure forever.
Moments that in twenty years will have been forgotten in your mind but captured and treasured, for eternity, in these precious images.

The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.” A Warhol

This quote pretty much sums up what I love about newborn and family photography – the magic of the moment caught and captured –  frozen in time to be looked back on and cherished whenever our hearts’ desire. 

The pleasure for me is seeing the pure delight on my client’s faces when they see their precious child captured in such a special way – and as a baby photographer, I feel honoured every single time I am able to do that for each and every family I work with.

Your story told in images

We all hold photos close to our hearts – especially ones of childhood and special moments in our lives.
What I capture for you as a newborn, maternity and family photographer will be the things that will bring back those memories. The tiny details of your newborn baby, the cheeky smile of your infant and the love shared between your family.
The beginning of your family story.
Moments that in twenty years will have been forgotten in your mind but captured and treasured, for eternity, in these precious images.
