People & Families

Working in Wandsworth, Clapham, Putney and across South West London, these sessions focus on real life and real connection, whether that's time at home, a celebration or simply being together

I’ll guide you when it helps - making sure everyone is included and comfortable - but I’ll try not to interrupt moments as they unfold. The result is a set of images that feels relaxed, natural and true to you

Sessions are unhurried and designed to give space for genuine moments, not just quick set-ups. I work with families of all ages and stages, so I ensure sessions are flexible and low pressure, especially with younger children.

  • Family sessions at home or outdoors

  • Special occasions and milestones

  • Individual and school portraits

Session details & pricing

Sessions are booked with a £300 session fee, which includes pre-shoot planning, the photography session itself, professional editing, and a private online viewing gallery

Digital images and prints products are then chosen separately, with collections starting from £495

Most clients invest between £800 and £1,200 in total, depending on how many images they’d like to keep

Sessions typically last around an hour but I don’t work to the clock if things need a little longer

Weekend sessions are limited and tend to book in advance

  • "Annabel beautifully captured our son's birthday party. She thoughtfully arrived early to scope out the space and lighting, and to ensure we took our family pictures before guests arrived so my boys could focus and sit still! She was discreet and respectful, capturing gorgeous candid moments and creating natural opportunities to shoot posed photos, as well. We are thrilled with our pictures and loved working with her from start to finish. We would recommend Annabel without hesitation, especially for family events and portraiture."

    —Kelly & David Dundas

  • "We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos Annabel captured at our daughter's christening. She managed to get every family shot we hoped for, all whilst making everyone (children and adults alike!) feel completely relaxed and at ease. What made it even more special were the natural, candid moments she caught - looking back at them truly brings the day to life in the most wonderful way."

    — Izzy & Pete Kent

  • "We feel incredibly lucky to have had Annabel (Bella Photography London) capture our wedding day. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable and at ease, which is such a gift when there is so much happening around you. Every photo feels alive - it's not just pictures of moments, but the emotions, the laughter and the love that filled the day. Her talent goes far beyond photography - it's in the way she sees people, connections and stories. We will treasure these photos forever, and we are endlessly grateful to call her not only our photographer, but also our friend."

    — Lauren & Mark Solomon

  • There’s no need to overthink clothing. I’d suggest choosing outfits you feel comfortable in and like. Avoid large logos or very busy prints as they can distract from expressions but unless you fancy it, there’s no need to match or coordinate in a particular way
