About me
Mihaela Mocanasu
Hi, I’m Mihaela – a professional photographer based in Stanmore, North West London, specialising in maternity, newborn, cake smash, and family photography. With over a decade of experience, I create timeless portraits that reflect the emotion, beauty, and essence of your most meaningful moments. Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, celebrating a first birthday, or simply cherishing time with your loved ones, I’m here to preserve your story in a way that feels honest and beautiful.
I understand how important it is to feel at ease in front of the camera. That’s why I approach each session with warmth, patience, and care – creating a calm, personalised experience that’s tailored to your family’s unique connection. From start to finish, I’ll guide you with clarity and support, so you can relax and focus on what truly matters: making memories together.
For me, photography is not just about creating beautiful images – it’s about capturing genuine emotion and the bonds that make your story special. My goal is to preserve these fleeting moments so you can revisit them with joy for years to come.
Outside the studio, I love spending time with my family and our lively Labrador, Blitz. It’s in those quiet, everyday moments that I find the inspiration to create work filled with warmth, authenticity, and heart – and I bring that same energy to every session I photograph.
My work
professional photographer
Let me help you create a visual timeline of your family’s memories – from the excitement of maternity to the many meaningful milestones that follow. I specialise in transforming these precious moments into timeless portraits and beautiful wall art that you’ll cherish for years to come.
Whether it’s a maternity session, a newborn photoshoot, a joyful cake smash, or a heartfelt family portrait, my goal is always the same: to capture the essence of your family’s journey and preserve it through imagery that’s both emotional and lasting.
Maternity
photography
A maternity photoshoot is perfect for expectant mothers up until 32 weeks of pregnancy, when the baby bump is beautifully defined, and you’re still comfortable posing. This is the ideal time to capture the beauty, excitement, and anticipation of motherhood before your baby arrives. It’s the perfect opportunity to create timeless portraits that celebrate this special chapter in your life.
Newborn
photography
A newborn photoshoot is ideal for babies within the first few weeks of life, typically between 5 days and 3 weeks old. During this time, newborns are often sleepy and flexible, making it easier to pose them and capture beautiful, natural photos. This is the perfect opportunity to preserve those early moments of your baby’s life with timeless portraits you will cherish forever.
Cake Smash
photography
A cake smash photoshoot is a fun and memorable way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday. It captures the joy and excitement of their first taste of cake and first splash in water, creating playful, lively photos. This is the perfect way to preserve this special milestone and create timeless portraits that capture the essence of your baby’s early years.
Portraits & Family
photography
A portrait and family photoshoot is designed to celebrate life’s milestones for individuals, couples, and families. Whether it’s birthdays, anniversaries, or other special occasions, these sessions capture meaningful moments through personalized images. It’s the perfect way to preserve memories that you and your loved ones will cherish for years to come.
