About Nemi Miller
West London's Specialist Maternity & Newborn Photographer
I've known I wanted to be a photographer for as long as I can remember.
Growing up, I studied black and white photography and darkroom printing in Glasgow alongside my A-levels and I was completely hooked. There's something almost magical about standing in a darkroom watching an image slowly emerge in the developer tray. That moment when the photograph begins to appear, as if from nowhere — I still admire the images I photographed and printed myself, now hanging on the walls of my house.
From there, I landed my first job as an apprentice with one of Glasgow's best wedding photographers, Ian Barry Photography, based on the wonderfully lively Sauchiehall Street. The studio was seriously busy and most Saturdays the team would cover up to seven weddings in a single day. I learned fast, not just photography and colour printing, but also the importance of the lunch run (and developed a temporary appreciation for Hawaiian pizza in the process).
I was nineteen when I was trusted to photograph my first wedding on my own. I still remember the groom looking at me and saying, "Is this wee lass going to take our wedding photos?". I did, and the rest, as they say, is history.
During my apprenticeship I was allowed to take home a Hasselblad medium format camera to practise with — a privilege I didn't take lightly. Fun fact: Hasselblads were the only cameras used by NASA astronauts to photograph the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Those iconic images of Earth from space? Also Hasselblad. Not a bad camera to learn on.
A lifetime later, I'm based in a beautiful warehouse studio on the borders of leafy Chiswick and vibrant Acton, specialising in maternity photography. For newborn sessions, I travel to families across London, creating natural portraits in the comfort of their own homes.
Around twenty years ago, I chose to dedicate my career to pregnancy and new parenthood because I believe these moments deserve a specialist's attention. Every maternity photoshoot and newborn session is approached with the same care, creativity and attention to detail I've been developing since those early days in the darkroom. The technology has changed enormously. My love of the craft hasn't.
When you visit my London studio, you don't need to worry about how to pose or what to do in front of the camera. I'll guide you through every step of the session, creating flattering, natural portraits while you relax and enjoy the experience. All you need to do is show up (hopefully feeling excited) and allow yourself to be celebrated for a couple of hours.
