PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES
NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
Studio portrait photography for newborns, maternity and families.
Newborn sessions focus on simplicity, safety and natural connection. Working within the first weeks, I create refined portraits that capture these earliest days with honesty and care.
MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
Maternity portraits are designed to celebrate this brief and meaningful time. The approach is understated and modern, creating elegant images that feel timeless rather than trend-led.
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
Family sessions are relaxed and carefully guided, allowing genuine interaction to shape the portraits. The result is natural, contemporary photography designed to endure.
ABOUT RUSS
I’m Russ Jackson, a studio portrait photographer based in North London, specialising in newborn, maternity and family photography.
With over 24 years of experience, I have photographed hundreds of families, creating modern, natural portraits defined by simplicity, thoughtful light and genuine connection.
My work is studio-based, allowing complete control over light, environment and pace. Each session is carefully guided to ensure a considered and unhurried experience, resulting in refined, timeless images.
Alongside photographing families in my High Barnet studio, I also teach and mentor photographers internationally. This depth of experience informs every session, providing reassurance, consistency and a highly experienced, professional approach, particularly important when working with newborns.
Families visit from across North London and Hertfordshire, seeking portrait photography that is modern, understated and enduring.
