If you want some beautiful portraits of your family while the children are young, have a look at Annika Bloch Photography. I offer bespoke sessions for families, children and newborns, including cake smashes, creating portraits that look effortless, natural and beautiful.
As a mother of three children, I know that they grow up way too fast, I understand the wish to sometimes stop for a moment and try to soak it all up; to create mementoes of these fleeting times and not forget. I love capturing authentic images, not only of your children but of your whole family, that will bring you joy for many years, long after your children may have left the nest.
My portraits are timeless and tasteful pieces of art. My style is simple and uncluttered to allow you to focus on the sitter’s personality. I don’t want the viewer to be distracted by meaningless details. Instead, they should find joy in appreciating the beauty that shines in every single person and in their unique character.
I also offer gift vouchers that will make thoughtful and personal gifts. Please get in touch if you would like to know more.

Unique Island Gifts
This beautiful cushion cover is part of a collection of handmade, embroidered products, which offer ‘one of a kind’ gifts this Christmas, created by a woman’s sewing cooperative in Madagascar.
The collection, which includes everything from bags and purses to ties and glasses cases, is made from recycled cotton and each individual item is totally unique and offers a stunning present with real purpose. Made by the women of the Stitch Sainte Luce cooperative, the items’ sales bring in valuable income for families in Madagascar; who desperately need our support – Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in the world, where almost 80% of the population lives on less than $1.90 per day.
Stitch Sainte Luce, supported by the charity SEED Madagascar, has taught embroidery, as well as business skills in maths, sales and English language, to over 100 women. Alongside value incomes, the cooperative has also helped empower women, giving them a creative and social outlet and building self-confidence.
