“I literally can’t stop looking at the photos, they make me emotional every time. I love them and will remember our shoot forever.”
MY STORY
I am Olivia, I live in Surrey with my husband Oli (we have been known as Oli squared), 2 gorgeous kids and much-loved beagle.
I am happiest in the sun and by the sea, which is why we got married in the dunes of Camber Sands. Our number 1 place to escape to for a holiday is beautiful Cornwall.
On days off, we can mostly be found on dog walks in the Surrey countryside. I also have a love of food and cooking!
I have always loved working with people and since having my own family, I know how precious it is to record the moments, that pass us by all too quickly.
“Olivia made the whole shoot easy and enjoyable with her calming and supportive energy.”
MY CAREER
I began my career as a photographer in 2006, in the music world. I had some wonderful experiences and photographed the likes of One Direction, McFly, Olly Murs and JLS, to name a few! With over a decade of working in the industry, I have captured music video shoots, TV stills, family portraits, corporate portraits, events and weddings. This has led me to where I am today, specialising in family shoots and personal branding for businesses.
I approach any shoot with the same informal and professional manner.
My aim is to put you at ease in front of the camera, so I can capture natural moments of honesty and connection.
Winner of ‘Top London portrait photographer’ by The Motherhood

Hello instagram world!! It’s been radio silence from me, whilst I enjoyed some time off social media.

Most liked images of 2020. Despite being a very difficult year for us all, it was a special one for my business. I finally had the time (with a furloughed husband) to finish my new website. I met so many lovely families, mostly local to me and it felt so rewarding to do what I love. Here’s to 2021 - I can’t wait to meet more families and share what shoots I have to offer this year. In a few days I’ll be launching my spring mini shoots 😊
Looking ahead to 2021 and warmer days...I’ll soon be releasing my spring mini shoots. There will be limited availability, so please get in touch if you’d like to be added to the priority list. Get in touch through Instagram, Facebook or email me oliviashawphotography@outlook.com It’s a great opportunity to get some gorgeous family photos at half the usual shoot prices #springminisessions #springminishoots #surreyfamilyphotographer #hampshirefamilyphotographer
I love seeing my photos printed 💕 Its always so special downloading them after a shoot but there’s something even better about holding a print. Too often they get left on computers or phones.
