Family Photographer in Hampshire

Authentic newborn and family portraits for families just like yours.

Let’s make this fun, easy & natural.

Hello, I’m Cristina.

So glad you’ve found your way here!

I am a newborn and family photographer based in Basingstoke, but you’ll often find me shooting all around Hampshire, Berkshire, London and wherever else your story takes me.

From our first chat to the moment I hand-deliver your stunning finished portraits (yes, I really do that!), I promise a photo experience that’s relaxed, fun, and totally tailored to you. Let’s make memories together!

Wait until see it in the real world.

If you’re looking for more than digital images, I’ve got you. My bespoke fine art albums and wall frames are just what you need to keep your portraits close to you every day.

The key aspect of being an amazing photographer is how you engage with your subject and Cristina did this fantastically. Within the short period of time that we had together, she captured moments that will last forever and have amazed everyone who has seen them.
