# Alexandra Popa Photography
Alexandra Popa is an Islington-based newborn and family photographer specialising in capturing intimate moments during life's most precious early stages. Operating from a warm, calm studio in London N1, she works with expectant parents, new families, and young children to create timeless, natural imagery.
The photographer excels at newborn work, with sessions ideally booked during pregnancy and conducted when babies are 5-14 days old—the optimal window for peaceful, posed imagery. Her studio provides all props, outfits, and accessories in soft, natural fabrics and timeless wooden elements. Family portraits are always included, celebrating the connections between parents, siblings, and newborns.
Beyond the studio, Alexandra offers lifestyle sessions capturing authentic everyday moments—children playing, families reading together, outdoor activities—prioritising genuine connection over staged poses. She also specialises in maternity photography, both outdoor sessions (recommended at 30-36 weeks) and intimate maternity boudoir work that celebrates pregnant bodies.
Her approach with babies and young children is particularly thoughtful. Sessions remain short to maintain engagement and capture genuine smiles, with toys and singing used to encourage natural reactions. She provides a curated selection of outfits whilst welcoming parent contributions.
What sets Alexandra apart is her philosophy that real, unguarded moments are beautiful. Whether documenting a newborn's first days, a family's everyday rhythm, or a woman's pregnancy journey, she combines technical expertise with genuine warmth, creating images that families will treasure for generations.
