RUSS JACKSON PHOTOGRAPHY
With over 20 years’ experience and hundreds of families photographed, safety, simplicity and genuine connection are at the heart of every session
NORTH LONDON FAMILY, NEWBORN & MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m a studio-based newborn, maternity and family photographer based in Barnet, North London, creating classic, natural portraits for families across London. Sessions are calm, gently guided and stress-free, with soft tones and timeless styling so the focus stays on the genuine connection between you and the people you love. You’ll leave with wall-worthy images that feel simple, modern and truly reflective of your family.
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website!
I’m Russ Jackson, a North London newborn, maternity and family photographer with over 24 years of experience capturing meaningful moments for growing families. I specialise in creating calm, natural portraits that feel timeless and deeply personal.
My approach is gentle and guided, allowing space for real connection while ensuring every session feels relaxed and unhurried. Safety, simplicity and trust are at the heart of everything I do - especially during newborn sessions.
Alongside photographing families in my Barnet studio, I also teach and mentor photographers internationally, sharing my experience and passion for newborn and family portraiture. This depth of knowledge informs every session, helping parents feel confident, supported and at ease.
If you’re looking for a photographer who values connection as much as craftsmanship, I would love to help you create portraits your family will cherish for years to come.
CAPTURING YOUR FAMILY’S LEGACY…
Investing in professional portrait photography becomes truly meaningful when it results in beautiful, tangible artwork - something you can hold, display and treasure for years to come.
As a studio-based newborn, maternity and family photographer in North London, I create timeless portraits designed to become heirlooms, preserving your family’s story for generations.
NEWBORN PORTRAITS
From those precious first days, newborn sessions focus on capturing your baby safely and gently in a calm, relaxed studio environment.
These sessions are designed to celebrate the connection between you and your baby, creating timeless portraits that reflect the love, closeness and tenderness of this fleeting stage.
Maternity sessions celebrate the beauty and anticipation of pregnancy in a calm, supportive studio setting.
These portraits are designed to feel elegant and timeless, capturing this special chapter while allowing space to include your partner and family if you wish.
MATERNITY PORTRAITS
FAMILY PORTRAITS
Family photography sessions are all about capturing genuine connection, laughter and togetherness.
With a relaxed, guided approach, I create natural family portraits that feel effortless and authentic - images that reflect who you are and will be treasured for years to come.
