Hello my name is Leyla, and I am a Photographer specialising in candid portraiture, particularly related to Family, Wedding and Events. 

I am London/Surrey based, but please email me to see if I can cover your area.

My aim is simple…to capture the moment and provide you with photographs that make you smile each time you look at them.

 I do everything possible to make the whole experience enjoyable for you from start to finish.

Lisa
"We had some wonderful family photographs taken by Leyla. She was so calm and helped my family feel comfortable in front of the camera. Leyla made some excellent suggestions and we managed to get some beautiful outdoor and indoor shots. Will definitely be calling on Leyla in the future and would highly recommend to others."

Chris & Paula
"We had a mini family photo shoot with Leyla a week before Christmas. We loved the photos and found it hard to choose between them! She also got them back to us really quickly so we were able to give them as Christmas gifts. We will definitely be booking in for next year."

Carrie
"Leyla has photographed my daughter a couple of times. She took some beautiful natural shots of her playing with her friends in a home setting, and in her home studio. Leyla is very calm which relaxes the children, and quite often they don't seem to notice she is taking photos. I would highly recommend Leyla to anyone looking for a high quality, professional service with a personal touch."

Mia
"Leyla has an excellent eye, she is able to turn the simplest setting into the most beautiful of places; the perfect complement to both her gorgeous, staged and candid shots. She is brilliant at understanding exactly what her clients want, as the family photos she shot for us were exactly what we had hoped for and more. I highly recommend her, she is amazing at putting people at ease and is really able to capture that perfect moment. I will certainly use her again. Thank you Leyla!!"

Kate
"Leyla got some brilliant photos of us as a family. She was great with the kids which made it stress free and really helped to get the great shots. Highly recommend her."

Charlotte
"Leyla did an outdoor shoot for us at East Surrey Slings and the results are fantastic. She's great at putting subjects at ease and was very efficient on the day. We have some brilliant images for our site. Thanks Leyla!"

Patrick & Lian
"We used Leyla for our wedding and she was great. From our initial meeting she was calm and friendly with good suggestions. On the day she was prompt and discreet and caught lots of special moments on the fly. She nailed the formal traditional shots and delivered the album on time. Definitely a good photographer, well worth the money"

Chloe
"Leyla took some timeless photos of my family which we will cherish always. I couldn't recommend her enough! She is calm and patient with children being a mother herself, and she takes the most beautiful magical shots that capture the personalities of her subjects"

Hannah
"Leyla came and took photos of my dance school, East Surrey Dance. She followed my very specific and probably confusing instructions of what I'd like for my new website and produced some wonderful shots of the children! Leyla also was able to use different finishes to help images to fit in with the style and colour ways of the website. 
Thank you very much!"

Jo
"Leyla had a relaxed and clear approach with us all, with nearly adult children we are a tricky group to direct. Leyla had a good idea of the composition she was after the end results speak for themselves. We followed her instructions and are delighted with the unique photos that she captured of us all - A rare moment of us altogether. Leyla had carefully checked out the location and weather forecast in detail. The woodland dappled with shade and a magical carpet of bluebells was delightful. The only problem was trying not to step on the bluebells."

Wenna & Dan
"We hired Leyla to do our newborn photo shoot. Leyla was very friendly and professional and sent some tips by email before hand to make sure the shoot ran smoothly. On the day she was very patient as baby was hungry and took some lovely photos of him feeding too. Baby did not want to play ball with any sleeping baby pics but we got some beautiful photos of us, including our cats that we will forever treasure! thanks so much"

Stacey
"We did a mini shoot with Leyla at CAKE in Redhill and she managed to capture my children beautifully, not an easy task with one year old twins and a 4 year old!
We were really thrilled with the pictures, just couldn't stop looking at them.
I'd recommend Leyla as a photographer and she also turned everything around really fast which was great.
Thank you so much!!

”We hired Leyla for a promotional shoot in gymnastics and trampolining. Leyla was professional, punctual and completely shared our vision. The photographs were simply beautiful and I would highly recommend her service!”

Jason
"Amazing photo shoot for our son’s 1st Birthday. Would highly recommend. Such an enjoyable experience.”

Katherine
”Leyla created a really relaxed atmosphere for the portraits that I needed for my doula business. I definitely don't usually enjoy having my picture taken but I was so pleased with the results, she really captured the atmosphere I was hoping for, they were really natural and I loved all the ideas and suggestions she made during the shoot. Thank you, I would highly recommend.”
