Cup of Green Photography · Surrey & South London

Photographs that feel
like your life actually does

Storytelling sessions for families, business owners, and couples who want images they'll actually use.

Family Photography

Your family in all its perfectly imperfect glory. These sessions are not about coordinating outfits and standing still — they're about capturing the actual texture of your life together.

My job is to stay in the background while you're in the moment.

This is for you if

You want photos that look like your real family You've been meaning to book for ages You're worried the kids won't cooperate (they never do — and that's fine) You want to actually be IN the photos You're celebrating a season of life worth capturing

What to expect

1

Choose your location. A park, your home, a favourite outdoor spot — anywhere in Surrey or South London that feels like you.

2

The first 10 minutes are always a bit awkward. That is completely normal. We walk, explore, and everyone relaxes into it — children first, adults shortly after.

3

I give loose direction, not poses. Candid, connected, occasionally brilliant. Your kids are free to be themselves — that is where the best photos live.

4

Sneak peek within 48 hours. Full gallery delivered to your private link within 7 working days, ready to download, print, and share.

We had a family shoot with Elena in the Autumn and the photographs were incredibly beautiful. It's very difficult to get good photos of young children, but she did a fantastic job. She really took note of what we wanted, which is important. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

On the day: relaxed, efficient, directed. We move through a loose shot list — different looks, expressions, settings. Most clients are surprised by how quickly they settle in.

3

I hate having my photo taken but Elena made me feel totally at ease and we had so much fun! Now I have some great professional pictures for my website, LinkedIn and presentations. Excellent value for money and would definitely recommend.

4

A mix of candid and composed. Documentary moments that show how the day felt, alongside beautifully composed portraits you will want to print large and keep forever.

Elena took photographs of our wedding. We are very happy with the results and all the effort she put in to make sure we were satisfied with them. Thank you, Elena for capturing our special day so wonderfully!

Questions

Family and brand sessions: your full gallery is delivered within 7 working days. You'll also receive a sneak peek selection within 48 hours of your session.

Elopements: within 2 weeks. Intimate and full small weddings: within 4 weeks, with a 48-hour sneak peek.

Your gallery contains two sections: fully edited, colour-graded images — and bonus unedited selects. The edited images are the curated, polished final set. The bonus selects are unedited but worth keeping — candid moments and in-between shots that add to the story.

Exact numbers are listed on each package and represent the minimum — you'll often receive more.

Anywhere in Surrey or South London that suits you — a park, your home, a favourite outdoor spot, or anywhere that feels right. I'm based in Caterham (CR3) and regularly work across Redhill, Reigate, Purley, Croydon, Oxted, and South London.

Travel beyond 30 miles may incur a small mileage supplement — just ask when you enquire.

They almost never do — and that is completely fine. Some of the best family photos happen in the chaos, not despite it. I don't expect children to perform. I watch for the moments that are already happening.
