I’m Strahila, a Surrey-based photographer documenting family life with honesty and warmth.

My approach is gentle and unobtrusive, focused on capturing natural connection and the beauty of everyday moments as they unfold.

Based in Caterham, I photograph families across Surrey and London — in the comfort of your home or outdoors in places that feel meaningful to you.

If my work resonates with you, I’d love to hear your story.

The Strahila photography story

Whether we choose a beautiful outdoor location or the comfort of your own home, I capture genuine, unposed moments—from the quiet anticipation of your bump, to those precious first days with your newborn, and the joyful energy of your growing family. For newborn sessions, I can bring carefully selected props and outfits, and I’ll guide you before and during the shoot with gentle direction to help you move naturally and interact comfortably, so you can simply relax, knowing you’re in safe hands.

I offer relaxed, natural photography that fits around you.

Your family's story

Film adds a depth to family memories that photographs alone can’t always capture. The movement, the sounds, the way a moment unfolds — these details bring your memories back to life. 



Alongside still images, family films allow you to remember not just how this season looked, but how it felt. I offer newborn, maternity and family photography and film across Surrey and London, capturing real moments in a natural, unobtrusive way that stands the test of time.
