Hi, I'm Vanessa Lee

I’m a newborn, family and lifestyle photographer based in Blackheath, Greenwich, South-East London, specialising in capturing natural, heartfelt moments that tell the unique story of your family. My photography style blends traditional portraiture, lifestyle imagery, and documentary photography to create timeless photos full of genuine connection and emotion.

My passion for photography began in my teens, when I first picked up an SLR camera during a college course. I later trained with the British Academy of Photography in London, where I earned a distinction and developed my technical skills and creative approach. Over time, my love of storytelling and connection naturally led me to focus on newborn and family photography.

As a mum of two, I understand how quickly time passes – and how important it is to preserve those fleeting moments. Whether I’m photographing your newborn at home, your children at play, or your family together outdoors, I create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere where real moments can unfold naturally.

My work is about joy. Real, unscripted joy, the kind that shines through in a glance, a giggle, or a quiet cuddle. I want to give you photographs that hold onto those moments, images that feel honest, warm, and full of life.
