Welcome

Meet Your Photographer

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 craft meaningful images that capture the emotion, beauty, and essence of your most cherished moments.

Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, planning a baby photography session, celebrating a first birthday, or simply cherishing time with your family, I’m here to preserve your story with images that feel honest, beautiful, and truly personal.

I understand the importance of feeling at ease in front of the camera. That’s why I approach every session with warmth, patience, and care, creating a calm, personalised experience that reflects your family’s unique bond. 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 isn’t just about beautiful visuals – it’s about capturing genuine emotion and the connections that make your story unique. My goal is to preserve these fleeting moments so you can revisit them with joy for years to come. As a professional photographer in London, I feel privileged to turn everyday moments into lasting memories for families across the city.

Outside the studio, I spend my days with my family and our lively Labrador, Blitz. It’s in those quiet, everyday moments that I find inspiration, and I bring that same sense of authenticity and warmth to every session I photograph.
