Where the city meets the countryside.

I'm a family photographer covering Croydon and the South London border, based just up the hill in Caterham. Croydon sits right where the city meets the Surrey countryside, which gives you real choice for family photos: proper green space and parks close to home, with the North Downs only a few minutes south. You don't have to travel far for pictures that don't look like a car park.

My sessions are relaxed and led by your family, not by a list of poses. We take our time, let the kids set the pace, and the honest, happy moments in between are the ones you end up keeping.

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

Where we shoot around Croydon

Parks in town, downs a hop away.

Lloyd Park gives you wide-open grass and room for children to run. Addington Hills has one of the best views over London if you want a real backdrop, and Coombe Wood is beautiful in spring and autumn. Prefer to stay put? Your own home and garden make wonderfully warm photos. And when you fancy proper countryside, the North Downs are a short drive south.

Not sure where suits? We settle it on a quick planning call before the day.

Common questions

Do you photograph families across Croydon and South London?

Yes, all of Croydon and the neighbouring parts of South London, along with Purley, Coulsdon and down into Surrey. I'm based just up the hill in Caterham, so the whole area is on my doorstep, and travel within 30 miles is included in every session.

Where can I have family photos taken in Croydon?

Lloyd Park gives you wide-open grass and space for kids to run; Addington Hills has one of the best views over London for a proper backdrop; and Coombe Wood is lovely in spring and autumn. Your own home and garden work beautifully too, and if you fancy real countryside the North Downs are a short drive south.

How much is a family photoshoot in Croydon?

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.

How far do you travel?

I'm based in Caterham, right on the Surrey and South London border, and travel within 30 miles is included. That covers all of Croydon and South London comfortably. Further afield is no problem; we just agree it in advance.
