Photographer Overview

Putney Baby Photography by Valeria Nielsen is a luxury portrait photography studio in South West London specialising in custom fine art maternity, newborn, baby, children, and family photography.

My passion for photography lies in photographing unforgettable moments, connecting with families who allow me into their lives. I love capturing the amazing bond between parents and their children and telling the story through my eyes, heart, and lens.

I can describe my style as natural, pure and simple. I love photographing newborns with beautiful and soft natural light as it adds a nice warm tone and looks very flattering on all skin tones. I prefer using neutral colours and textures and I incorporate them into my work. My studio is full of beautiful handmade baby clothing, wraps, headbands and bonnets for you to choose from.

As a newborn photographer, I make the comfort and safety of your baby an absolute priority whilst creating beautiful images for you to treasure. I’ve been photographing newborns babies over 6 years and I’m professionally trained by the world’s leading experts in the field. I practice safe posing and providing a warm and comfortable environment throughout my sessions. 

Newborn photography sessions are best when babies are between 5-12 days of age. At this point, newborn babies are still very sleepy and like to curl up as if they were still in the womb. My clients will often contact me during their first or second trimester to ensure availability as I only take a limited number of pregnancy and newborn sessions a year.

 Babies grow so incredibly fast and it is so wonderful to have these beautiful portraits taken to make sure those precious moments stay with you always.
