Hi there and Welcome

My name is Anne-Laure and I am so glad you’re here! I am a lifestyle and portrait photographer in London and I’d love to get to know you better and capture your special moments.

 

I absolutely adore little people, in particular toddlers, they are my favourite. They are so funny and they chat so much! However, I delight in photographing beautiful souls from 0 to 100 years old. I would describe myself as a photographer of emotion, documenting love, families, events, being a birth, a christening, a wedding etc.

 

I am also passionate about helping small businesses have lovely images to support their brands. I offer subscriptions services to provide them with beautiful imagery to share on their social media and websites that will give their customer "all the feels".

 

I would love to get to know you better to give you the best experience possible!

 

About Anne-Laure

 

When people ask me where I come from I usually have to answer that I don't know. I was born in France, left at three months, grew up in various African countries & Pacific islands, studied in France and Germany, found love in Britain.

So, home is where I live at the time, and for now, it's Mortlake, in South West London.

 

I am absolutely passionate about photography as I always wanted to do something artistic and my original professional path (lawyering) definitely was not it! I started steering the boat by moving into the travel industry soon after (I already did a few photography job here and there then) and I fully plunged into professional photography after the birth of my first baby (I have three of those! They're amazing!).

 

Since then, I had the pleasure of photographing some celebs and less celebs, some old and some brand new little souls. I always really look forward of getting to know the people I photograph and I will hopefully get to know you soon?

Session Info

Let's chat first!

I would like to have a good chat first with you, to have a good idea of what you are after, what is the purpose of your session - is it to hang photographs on a wall? To have an album? To create a Christmas card? To generate more customers? Who are you? What makes you tick? Where shall we have the shoot? I am always up for an adventure outdoor but I can also come to your home and/or find a studio space to host your shoot. This is not an exhaustive list of questions I will ask, but my goal is to understand what do I need to produce for you, who is "you" and what equipment and technique will be best for the type of shoot.

 

Let's have fun!

I like to capture natural emotions, so although I do not always have the luxury of a lot of time on a shoot, I like to connect with the people I will photograph first. It's particularly important with little people. It can be very scary to have an unknown lady with a big camera pointing at them - but adults get even more scared and I am the worst so I know what it is like! "Cheeeeese" is my worst nightmare! So my goal is to make it as relaxed as possible in order to get the most authentic smile and expressions.

 

The long wait...

I am not very patient, so I get it, when you had some nice photos made, it's always lovely to have some photos straight away. Unless otherwise stated in your contract, I will usually attempt to send you one or two promptly via email. The rest will often take about two weeks. I edit the photographs in my own style but, where there are editorial choices, I tend to try to make it faithful to your personality and/or requests.

Most photographers ask for a fee for taking the pictures and then have a package price to buy the pictures. Mine is all in one. Unless otherwise specified, you get all of the pictures on a usb key and/or galleries are available for your loved ones who might want to purchase photographs as well. I like to keep it simple.

 

The reassuring bits.

I am insured, DBS checked and a member of the Guild of Photographers.
