Photography Experiences in London
At Pennypics London, photography is approached as a series of experiences.
Each session is shaped around the people involved, the moment being marked, and how the images will live within family life.
Every portrait is also shaped by time and meaning. You may explore how different seasons and special moments give each experience its own atmosphere in our guide to photography by season in London.
The Family Journey
A continuum of portrait experiences designed to document family life as it unfolds — with calm, patience, and an emphasis on genuine connection.
✦ Maternity Portraits
Thoughtful maternity sessions celebrating the transition into parenthood.
Available in the studio, at home, or in carefully chosen London locations, with a focus on elegance, presence, and personal rhythm.
✦ Newborn Portraits
A quiet, carefully paced experience designed for the earliest days.
Sessions are guided by your baby’s needs, with time built in for feeding, settling, and rest.
The focus is on gentleness, safety, and preserving the feeling of those first fleeting weeks.
✦ Baby & First-Year Milestones
As your child grows, the focus naturally shifts from stillness to interaction.
These sessions celebrate expression, movement, and emerging personality — from first smiles to sitting, crawling, and early steps.
✦ Family Photography
Relaxed family sessions capturing relationships as they are — unforced, attentive, and timeless. Designed for families who value intended images, nurturing, tradition and legacy
