Relaxed photography for loving families

About

Close to one's heart

Hello, I’m Marion

I’m Marion, a family and baby photographer in London. I arrived from France many moons ago and my home is now south of the river with my own family.
When you find something in life you love and you’re good at, you need to listen to that voice that tells you: “Go for it!” and embrace it. That’s exactly what I did with photography.

You wouldn't believe what I see through my lens.

I see more than you can imagine.
I see your universe.
I see a home that doesn’t stop living.
I see a childhood all kids dream of.
I see the heart and soul of your family.

And that’s what I want you to see and feel through my photos.

Children are a godsend for a family photographer because they give so much, are so open with their emotions, which reflects on all the family, unlocking all the love and playfulness.

And I believe that having my son, my own family, triggered an even stronger passion for getting hold of these feelings on camera with every family I work with.

Marion’s approach was fun, relaxed and unobtrusive, which we really liked, yet also professional.

Want to know more about me?

Well, you might like to know that I’m French but I’ve been living in London for 15 years now - West, North and now South East London – so I do feel like a proper Londoner! I’m the lucky mum of a funny and witty little boy.

In a past life, I used to work in advertising agencies as an account manager working on car brands and changed career since becoming a mum.

And that’s not all…

  • Good old heavy metal was the only music you could have heard coming from my bedroom during my teenage years.

  • I used to do fencing (the sport, not putting fences around gardens!) and even though I’m not the sporty type, I managed to ‘win’ a husband at our local club. That’s worth a gold medal, right?

  • I really enjoy country walks, especially since living in South East London, near Kent. It feels such an enjoyable achievement to walk miles across a beautiful countryside, stopping for an impromptu picnic in the middle of a field. We have had to shorten our walks now with our little one but I definitely want him to discover these simple pleasures of life.

  • I am an awarded member of the international Family Photojournalists Association (ranked number 1 Family Photographer in London in 2020 and recognised in the Top 100 family photojournalist photographers in 2020) and Lifestyle Photographers Association (recognised in the top 100 photographers 2021). You can also find a few of my photos selected by the Vogue Italia’s editorial team and my work published in natural parenting magazine Juno and photography blog & magazine Dear Photographer.
