East London family photographer
Hi, I’m Alina
As a mum of two I know first-hand just how precious (and fleeting) the early years really are. That's why I'm here to capture these moments for you, without any awkward posing, backdrops or props. If you're looking for natural, unposed and relaxed family photos in East London, you've come to the right place.
My photography is all about heartwarming images that celebrate love, emotion and authentic connection - capturing you and your family exactly as you are right now, at home or somewhere that means something to you.
I photograph regularly across East London and Essex, including Walthamstow, Hackney, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Buckhurst Hill, Woodford, Hornchurch, Upminster, Romford, Brentwood, Epping, Loughton and beyond.

Testimonials
Having a newborn shoot 2 weeks after giving birth and with a toddler could have been stressful but Alina made the whole experience very relaxed and put us at ease instantly so that we all really enjoyed the day. Having just received the images we couldn’t be happier, they are absolutely stunning, each one capturing our little family just as we are.
Jamie
Testimonials
From the moment Alina arrived at my house, I felt like I was welcoming an old friend. She immediately made me feel at ease and guided the shoot so effortlessly and professionally. There’s a real intimacy in the photos Alina takes and she has a fantastic eye for detail. I’m over the moon with the pictures.
Jennifer
Testimonials
We have worked with Alina twice now and what she is able to capture is absolute magic. She made us feel so comfortable and not at all like we were posing for the camera. We were worried about tricky toddler moments but honestly it did not matter, she worked around every little grumble and we were over the moon with our images.
Kate & Simon
Testimonials
We have been a returning customer of Alina’s now a few times so that in itself is credit to her and her work. It most definitely will not be our last! Since photographing my son’s 1st birthday she has done my hen party and my daughter’s newborn. My hallway is becoming quite the portfolio of her work!
