Soulful family photography for parents who cherish real moments

Saskia Albers Photography & Films

Documentary Family & Branding Photographer based in South-East London

Nice to meet you, I’m Saskia 

I am a Dutch photographer and filmmaker, and mum of two, based in Bromley, London.

I want you to feel seen, valued, and remembered — to tell your story with honesty and warmth.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably hanging laundry (argh, does it ever end?), bathing my kids, dreaming of far-flung travels or listening to podcasts (my favourites are Heavyweight and Where Should We Begin).

My work is rooted in noticing the beauty of real life — the chaos and tenderness of family, the passion and creativity that drives small businesses, and the heart of charities making a difference.

More about me

Family Photography

Family life is never picture-perfect — and that’s exactly why it’s beautiful.
Family Photography

Your beautiful chaotic family life captured in photos.

You want family photography that feels honest. The love, chaos, sticky fingers, tears, quibbles, and belly-laughs that remind you just how much love fills your everyday life. You really don’t need to pose, or ‘say cheese’ and there is absolutely no pressure to behave a certain way. Be yourselves! I’ll notice the little things you might overlook and capture them with care. So that years from now these photos transport you straight back and show you a slice of your real life.

Business & Branding

Storytelling business and personal brand photography and films told with personality and creativity
Brand Photography

Brand Photo intro

Your work matters. Whether you’re healing, teaching, digning or creating, it’s the passion you pour into your craft, the spark that makes you light up when you talk about it, the values that drive you forward. That’s what your photographs should show. Not the same old headshots, not awkward poses, not a cookie-cutter “brand shoot.” Something more personal, more thoughtful, more you.

I take time to understand you and your work, so that I can give you honest and storytelling brand photography that celebrates your individuality and the processes. Because the more your people see the real you and of the behind-the -scenes, the more they’ll trust you, connect with you, and want to work with you.
