Maternity, Newborn, Cake Smash & Family Photographer in North West London
Meet Your Photographer
Mihaela Mocanasu
Hi, I’m Mihaela, a professional photographer based in Stanmore, North West London.
With over 10 years of experience, I create elegant, timeless portraits that capture life’s most meaningful moments, from maternity photoshoots and newborn photography to joyful cake smash sessions and heartfelt family portraits.
Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, planning your maternity photoshoot, celebrating a first birthday, or simply cherishing time with your family, my cosy home studio offers a calm, supportive space where you can relax while I capture your story with warmth and care.
I understand the importance of feeling at ease in front of the camera. Every photoshoot is approached with warmth, patience, and care, creating a calm, personalised experience for families. 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.
Photography is not just about visuals; it’s about capturing genuine emotion and the connections that make your story unique. I feel privileged to transform everyday moments into lasting memories for families across North West London and Hertfordshire.
Outside the studio, I spend my days with my family and our lively Labrador, Blitz. Every day of life inspires me, and I bring that exact authenticity and warmth to every maternity, newborn, and family session I photograph.
