– ABOUT ME, MONA NAEM PHOTOGRAPHY-
Let me introduce myself, I am Mona Naem, a Family and wedding photographer based in North London, Whetstone and Totteridge. I love to photograph using natural light and genuine expressions. My main aim is to capture emotions in photos by having a real laugh with the couples and families.
Being an ex-primary school teacher I love to plan and tailor make every photo shoot. Each photo session is unique, fun and relaxed for every member (yes especially dads and grooms!). I really am a people’s person and certianly love meeting and chatting! If you are looking for a straight to the point/no chit chat kinda a photographer then I’m probably not your jam!!

Being a mum of two lively children, I totally understand how every child has their own personality and therefore need different approach. By having a pre shoot consultation, I get to know each family member beforehand so I can get the best out of them at the photo shoot. By the time I say we’re finished your kids won’t even know they are having their pictures taken!
Some random facts about me…
- I was born in the Middle East and lived there till I was nearly 14 years old!
- My dad taught me how to swim in the sea and recall drifting off and even had to be rescued by my older sister!
- You are looking at a huge New Kids on the Block fan. My sisters and cousins made a tribute band. We were highly in demand for private family functions but sadly broke up when we had to study for exams.
- Watching films is one of my favourite things to do and have been known to quote some of my favourite films word to word (I feel the need, the need for speed, nobody puts baby in the corner, ewww as if…. to quote a few!).
- Another film fact, I often google the ending so I ully understand the plot line (I’ve been told that’s very annoying).
- Guilty of being a feeder, if you ever drop into my house I will always have snacks and treats ready to serve!
- I love to take my camera with me everywhere and do drive my family nuts as I always have to stop and take a photo!
- Known to be of a night owl and when I get in the zone I love editing images till I start hearing the birds sing!
- After years of taking my children to music lessons/exams I decided to take up piano last summer (2023). I will not be performing in public anytime soon but may be brave enough to share my journey one day!
From the instant I scheduled my appointment to the moment I received my headshots, Mona’s exceptional communication and professionalism were evident. Despite feeling apprehensive, Mona expertly navigated me through the process with valuable advice.
Her warmth and reassuring demeanour instantly put me at ease. I am truly grateful for the outstanding headshots that perfectly capture my unique personality. I would highly recommend Mona to anyone who is thinking about updating their headshots for a professional and modern look.
Mona was the photographer for my birthday party and I was absolutely blown away when I saw the photos and all the beautiful moments she captured.
Mona makes you feel immediately comfortable and all my guests commented on how relaxed she made them feel. I would highly recommend Mona for any event as her photography is exceptional.
