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. I specialise in maternity, newborn, cake smash, and family photography. With over ten years of experience, I craft heartfelt images that reflect the beauty and emotion of your most meaningful 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 personal.
I understand the importance of feeling at ease in front of the camera. I approach every session with warmth, patience, and care, creating a calm, personalised experience that reflects family. 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 about beautiful visuals—it’s about capturing genuine emotion and the connections that make your story unique. I aim to preserve these fleeting moments so you can revisit them with joy for years. As a professional photographer in London, I feel privileged to transform 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. I find inspiration in everyday moments, though, and I bring that same sense of authenticity and warmth to every session I photograph.
