# Heather Neilson Photography
Heather Neilson is an award-winning family photographer based in West, South West and central London, specialising in capturing natural, light-filled portraits of families, children, babies and expectant mothers. Operating exclusively outdoors in London's finest parks—including Holland Park, Battersea Park, Regent's Park and Richmond Park—she has built a reputation for her distinctive approach to natural light photography.
Her clientele includes families seeking authentic, unstaged imagery that celebrates genuine moments rather than forced poses. She welcomes multi-generational shoots, older siblings, partners and even family pets, making sessions inclusive and relaxed. Her maternity clients typically book between 30-35 weeks pregnant, whilst baby photography focuses on significant milestones from five to twelve months.
What sets Heather apart is her technical mastery of natural light combined with her ability to put families at ease during shoots. Rather than simply providing digital files, she offers a complete luxury experience, partnering with boutique fine art printer Folio Albums to create museum-grade prints and bespoke albums. This positions her at the premium end of the market, catering to clients who value tangible, professionally-designed pieces for their homes.
Her one-hour outdoor sessions are priced at £300, with additional investment in prints and albums reflecting her positioning as a fine art photographer rather than a budget portrait service. Testimonials emphasise her warmth and directional skill, making her equally suitable for clients wanting gentle guidance or those preferring natural candid moments.
