If you’re looking for a enchanting and natural backdrop for your next photoshoot, woodland photo sessions in North London are the perfect choice. Whether you’re planning family portraits, engagement photos or maternity shoots, the woods and green spaces coupled with brown and golden leaves amongst the city offer a stunning, timeless backdrop.
Why Choose a Woodland Photo Session?
Woodlands provide more than just beautiful scenery, it adds a magical, storybook quality to your images. With the soft natural light filtering through the trees, textured backgrounds of moss and bark, and a sense of calm away from the busy city, woodland sessions create photographs that feel authentic, warm, and full of character. Not to mention the perfect Autumnal vibe.

- Seasonal variety: From vibrant spring blossoms to golden autumn leaves, every season offers a fresh look.
- Relaxed environment: Being in nature often helps families feel more comfortable in front of the camera.

The Best Woodland Locations in North London
Luckily for me, North London is blessed with some of the city’s most beautiful natural landscapes. Here are a few top spots for woodland photography sessions:
- Hampstead Heath – A sprawling green space with ancient trees, hidden ponds, and sweeping views of London’s skyline.
- Highgate Wood – Known for its dense woodland and rich history, perfect for an intimate, fairytale backdrop.
- Queens Wood – A quieter woodland retreat, ideal for families looking for a peaceful and natural backdrop.
- Alexandra Park – Not only does it offer woodland areas, but also panoramic views across London for variety in your session.
But my location list is long and mighty, so I’d be happy to meet you anywhere in London!
What to Expect From a Woodland Photo Shoot
When you book a Woodland Photo Session with me, I will guide you through the process, helping you find the best spots and timings. Early mornings or late afternoons are usually the best times for soft, flattering light. And with the clocks going back towards the end of October, these shoots can happen just before dinner time!
Sessions are £249 and include 3 images to download from your gallery. Options to upgrade for more images are available.
Tips for preparing:
- Wardrobe choices: Neutral or earthy tones work beautifully against the greens and browns of the woodland. Be prepared to wrap up in layers.
- Footwear: Wear comfortable shoes for walking between locations and potentially treading/jumping in heaps of leaves.
Perfect for Every Occasion
- Family Photos – Let the kids run free and capture their natural smiles among the trees. Perfect images for Christmas cards and gifts.
- Engagement & Couple Shoots – Celebrate your love in a romantic and secluded setting to include ahead of or in your wedding day.
