Heather Neilson Photography

I am a British-born baby, children and family portrait photographer based in West London and California. I was a city lawyer for almost a decade before I left my corporate suits and heels behind to pursue my dream of being a professional photographer; it’s amazing to wake up every morning knowing that I get to spend the day creating gorgeous images that make people happy!

I specialise in beautiful baby, children and family photography and love to celebrate motherhood in my images. I adore photographing little ones because they are so enchanted with the world around them and have a million-and-one different expressions.

I am passionate about using available natural light wherever possible to create magical, light-filled photographs; my signature look is sun-kissed modern portraits set in nature, with light softly filtering through the trees. I am completely obsessed with finding wildflowers and grassy meadows for children and family sessions, and even in winter there are lovely locations (and very soft magical light) if you know where to look. My aim is to create stunning artistic images that you (and one day your children) fall in love with and want to hang on your walls.
