Home turf, and I know the good spots.

I'm a Caterham-based family photographer. I was born a long way from here, in St. Petersburg, but Caterham is where I've put down roots, and most of my family sessions happen within a few minutes of the high street. That means no long drive at either end with tired little ones, and a photographer who already knows where the light falls and which corners of town photograph best.

These sessions are built for real life. Muddy knees, toddler meltdowns, the dog photobombing every other shot. We find somewhere that suits your family, take proper time so nobody feels rushed, and the good photos happen once everyone forgets the camera is there.

And if the wardrobe question is looming, here's what to wear.

Family photography at Queen's Park, Caterham, Surrey
Where we shoot in Caterham

Parks, downs or your own front room.

Queen's Park is my easy answer for young families: central, open and full of room to run before we start. For big skies and long grass, the North Downs and Happy Valley are a short drive up, and Kenley Common is another favourite. Prefer to stay in? Your own home and garden make some of the warmest photos of all.

Stuck for ideas? I've written a full guide to the best photo spots around Caterham.

We did a family photoshoot in our garden with Elena and she did such a wonderful job. The pictures feel really natural and timeless, and she put us all at ease and made it fun.

Common questions

Where do you photograph families in Caterham?

Queen's Park is my easy answer for young families: central, open and full of room to run. For big skies and long grass, the North Downs and Happy Valley are a short drive away, and Kenley Common is another favourite. Your own home or garden works beautifully too. We pick the spot that suits your family on a quick planning call.

How much is a family photoshoot in Caterham?

Sessions start at £299 for The Story: about two hours at one location, with 30 to 40 photos, colour-corrected and finished in my style. The Whole Day is £545. Every price is upfront and there is nothing to pay to enquire. Albums and prints come later, once you have seen your photos.

Do you travel outside Caterham?

Yes. I'm based in Caterham and regularly photograph families across Reigate, Redhill, Oxted, Purley, Croydon and the wider Surrey and South London area. Travel within 30 miles is included in every session.

When is the best time of year for family photos in Caterham?

Every season has its charm here, from bluebells in spring to the North Downs turning gold in autumn. For light, the couple of hours before sunset are hard to beat. With young children, though, I plan around naps and mealtimes first, because a happy toddler beats perfect light every time.
