About me

My story

Hello there! Welcome to my website and thank you for taking the time to visit. My name is Hedwig, and I'm a London-based photographer with 3 daughters. I'm an explorer at heart, and I have a deep appreciation for nature and the beach. I'm also a dreamer and a creator who loves photography, traveling, sports, and good food. Spending time with my family and friends is very important to me, and I cherish the little things in life, like enjoying a good piece of chocolate or watching a series.

My work

"The pictures I take will become a priceless memory of your story."

When I first picked up a camera, I was still a teenager, and I immediately fell in love with the art of photography. My heart flutters every time I pick up my camera and get that amazing shot.

When we moved to London, I knew I wanted to pursue photography as a full-time career. I completed my studies at the British Academy of Photography and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to document the lives and experiences of some truly amazing people and places.

My approach to photography is pure, minimal, and natural, always taking advantage of the beauty of natural daylight. Whether I'm capturing the love and connection of families or helping entrepreneurs showcase their brand through visual storytelling, my goal is to connect with my clients and create the best possible results.

I want you to feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, so I can capture you just the way you are. Your photos are chosen and edited by me with the utmost care and attention, reflecting my passion and dedication to my craft. Thank you for taking the time to visit my site, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

How it works & what to expect from a photo session


Before the session

Just drop me an email when you decide to book a shoot. To lock in your date, you'll receive a booking link to complete your booking. After your booking you will receive a preparation and style guide to ensure you know exactly know what to expect and how to prepare.


Not sure yet what package you'd like to book? No worries, you can choose after you've seen the images. From your gallery you can select your favourite images and decide on the appropriate package.


+ Pregnancy session - The best time to plan your shoot, is when you are between 28 and 36 weeks pregnant. These few weeks represent the best time to show off a nice round pregnant belly!  

+ Newborn session - Whenever you feel ready, you can get in touch with me to arrange the exact date and time. The most ideal time is when your baby is between 7 and 10 days old. But no worries if he or she is a bit older, all stages are worth capturing. 


During the session

First of all, just know that your shoot is going to be awesome - don’t worry about that part! The first ten minutes can feel a little awkward. But as time goes on and with my subtle guidance, you’ll begin to relax and build confidence in front of the camera. By the end of the session you'll be totally into it, I promise. Besides, the objective isn’t just to take pretty perfect pictures, it’s to preserve how a moment feels.
