One day, this will all be a memory.

The way your children reached for you without thinking. The weight of them in your arms. The laughter that interrupted everything and made you forget yourself for a moment.

The small details you didn’t even realise were changing.

So, in five, ten, twenty, thirty years from now… what will you wish you could step back inside?

It won’t be the perfectly curated poses with everyone looking at the camera.

It will be how it felt.

Trying to hold onto it as if you could touch it again. As if you could hold the feeling between your fingertips and never let it slip away.

The warmth of their cheek against yours, and how impossibly soft it was.

The way their fingers curled into your dress, and the way they tugged.

How they melted into you and fit so perfectly against your body - their safest place in the whole entire world.

Because the feelings really are the memory, and that’s what I’m giving you.

Not just photos, but a way back here. To this season. A way to remember how it felt to be in this moment when time itself has moved on.

I know these photos won’t stop time. But I hope they help you step back inside it.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” this is your reminder that it’s always the right time.

And it’s worth remembering.

This morning, my toddler came up to me and asked, “mummy, will you play trains with me?”

I’d just sat down. Coffee in hand. A to-do list longer than my arm. Breakfast mess still all over the table.

I paused, just long enough for him to ask again.
Bunny tucked under his arm. Eyes wide 🥹

I said yes.

We lay on the mat, trains in hand, making wild little stories with no plot, but so much heart.

And I was reminded of something I’d heard…

Imagine you’re 80 years old. The house is quiet.
The shoes are no longer tiny. No sticky handprints. No more delighted squeals.

And just for one day, you get to come back.

Your noisy kitchen. Your endless to-do list. Your messy, magical, beautiful life.

Would you rush past that little voice asking you to play? Would you sigh at the mess? Or would you just know… that *this* is it.

Because one day, I won’t be wiping jam off the walls, making two different breakfasts
or tripping over Lego on the floor.

And I will miss it. Even the parts I swore I wouldn’t.

So today, I’m trying to see it all through her eyes.
The older, wiser version of me who longs for this exact moment in time.

This isn’t the waiting room before life begins.
This is the story.
And today I still get to live it.

Hold onto your sleigh bells… Christmas Mini Sessions are almost here!

I am beyond excited to be bringing back my Christmas Mini Sessions for a fourth consecutive year! Capturing the sparkle in little eyes, the cheeky grins, and all of the wonder that makes this season so damn special.

Short and sweet, these timeless sessions are perfect for busy little elves (and the grown-ups who chase them), capturing all the whimsical, loved-up, nostalgic goodness you adore (with an ahhh-mazing price tag 😉).

Christmas music. The scent of pine. Twinkling lights. A little gift from Santa.
What's not to love? ✨

Bookings open exclusively to the Nice List:
📅 Wednesday 20th August at 6pm: VIP early access
📅 Thursday 21st August at 6pm: Open to everyone else

With a sprinkle of classic simplicity and a dash of festivity, these timeless, limited-edition mini sessions have become a beautiful tradition for so many families year after year.

These sessions sell out every single year, so if you want in, be quicker than Rudolph on Christmas Eve.

Get ready to believe in the magic once again!

What if your favourite photo isn’t the one where everyone is smiling at the camera?

What if it’s the one where your toddler is clinging to your leg,
Your partner is laughing at something just between them and your child,
Your shirt is a little bit wrinkled and your hands are full…

But your love is so damn obvious, you can feel it through the frame. You could almost, almost reach out and grab it.

These aren’t just photos.
They’re perfect little reminders.
Of who you were in this season.
Of what mattered.
And of how love looked when life was busy and loud and absolutely, completely yours.

So no, your photos don’t have to look like Instagram (because who would want that kind of curation, anyway?).
No.
They just have to feel like home.

I’ll guide you the whole way through.
I’ve got you.
You just show up.

He didn’t say a word, just leaned in.

Arms wrapped tight.
Eyes closed.
Melting into her like he didn’t want to be anywhere else.

No posing.
No direction.
Just one of those fleeting, ordinary miracles we forget to hold onto.

This is the kind of photo you don’t plan - but it’s the one you frame. The kind of photo that lets your heart exhale.

It’s not about being ready or perfect.
It’s about how it felt.
And this moment felt like everything.

If you’re waiting for the right time to book: this is it.

Because these years are already full of everything worth remembering.

Hi, I’m Megan 💁🏻‍♀️

And no, I’m not just another family photographer.

Maybe you were expecting a quick little synopsis about me - but stick with me for a sec so I can share what I’m really about 👇

I’m a wife and a mum to two beautiful, whirlwind little boys, so I know how fast this season moves - and how it can break your heart just a bit to watch it fly by.

I’ve also been a Registered Nurse for over a decade. Meeting people at all stages of life has given me a deep appreciation for the small, fleeting moments we often overlook.

That’s what I love most about photography. I’m not here to give you perfectly posed photos or stiff portraits with everyone smiling at the camera.

I’m here to capture the way your toddler wraps their arms around your neck. The way your partner looks at you when you’re not even paying attention. The in-between moments. The feelings of now - exactly as it is.

My work is natural, honest, and emotive.
And it’s shaped just as much by my background in nursing as it is by my own journey through motherhood.

If you’re a sentimental soul who wants photos that feel like you - soft, real, and full of meaning - I’m the one for you.

Why is it that every photo your husband takes of you with the kids makes you want to untag yourself from your own life?

You deserve better than that 🫣🥹

And no, I’m not talking about better lighting or better angles.

I mean better memories.

Ones where you’re not just behind the scenes…
but really, truly in the frame with your family.

Because you’re there for it all, aren’t you?
You pack lunchboxes. Kiss grazed knees.
Give goodnight cuddles.
You hold space for the big feelings,
and you’re there for the quiet, in-between moments that hold everything together.

And yet…

When you scroll back through the photos on your phone - it kind of feels like you’re not there at all.

Not because you weren’t. But because something inside you kept saying:
“Not yet.”

Not until the weight is gone.
Not until you feel more confident.
Not until you “look like yourself again.”

But your kids?

They don’t care about any of that.

They just want to remember you.
Your laugh. Your cuddles. The way you look at them like they’re your whole entire world.

Honestly?
It was never about vanity.
This is about legacy.

And you deserve to be seen in the story you’re living.

Let’s get you back in the frame.
Because you deserve to be in these memories and not just making them.

21/05/2025

I look through my phone and it feels like the world is yelling at me. A million voices screaming about how I am supposed to be parenting my kids.

What I should be doing more of.
What I should be doing less of.
What I’ve already done wrong.
And what I’m doing wrong in this very moment.

Be present. Work less. Work more - but only for yourself.
Never yell. Say yes. Set boundaries.
Let them lead… but don’t be permissive.
Make sure you make time to connect.

…But also don’t forget to tidy the house, cook organic meals, prepare enriching activities, plan expensive family holidays, and of course, above all else, do not forget to be the calm centre of it all.

And if you can’t? Then I don’t know, maybe you’ve failed?

That’s exactly how it feels some days.

I scroll and see mums who seem to have it all put together perfectly, and I’m looking around my home at the mess, chaos, the pile of laundry, and the to-do list as long as my arm - and somehow it all screams back it me…

Am I getting this whole thing wrong?

Motherhood has cracked me open in ways I never expected. Not just with love, but with pressure.

Guilt and responsibility so heavy it feels as if it’s settled deeply into my bones.

Maybe the hardest part isn’t whether I’m doing it right, it’s that I care so damn deeply about getting it right in the first place.

Surely that, in itself, means something.
That I’m trying.
That I love them fiercely.
That I’m showing up in my mess and uncertainty and in all of the parts of myself I wish I could make softer. Be softer.

This isn’t about the answers, it’s about naming the heaviness. If you’ve felt this too - you aren’t alone.

Even on the days it doesn’t feel like enough.

You are.
