Dear Henry Photography

Natural, authentic family photography. Let me tell your story. Families, maternity, newborn & milestones.

Some sessions stay with you for a while.

This one was slow and unhurried, full of quiet moments that make those early newborn days so special. Tiny stretches, sleepy cuddles, feeding breaks, proud smiles and all the little in between moments that are so easy to forget with time.

A beautiful new baby, the gentlest light, and two parents completely in awe of the little person they have just welcomed into the world.

In home newborn sessions will always have my heart.

Captured on a mix of film and digital 💛

I have a feeling this one will need a part 2!

It’s in the colours, in the light, in the way she leans into her.
Exactly how it looked, exactly how it felt.
On 35mm film. 💛✨

The beginning of everything, on 35mm film 🎞️

There’s something about film that changes the way you shoot. It slows you down, makes you more intentional. You can’t check the back of the camera or fix things later, you just have to trust what you’re seeing and be present in it.

And maybe that’s why it works so well for motherhood. The softness, the movement, the imperfect… the feeling film holds. It all comes together in a way that feels honest, nostalgic, and timeless.

So grateful to — I know how hard it can be to step in front of the camera, especially when you’re usually the one behind it. Thank you for trusting me to capture such a special season in your life.

Mother’s Day mini sessions are open now — all shot on film, intentional, honest, and focused on you and your people.

I can’t wait to show you more from this one 💫

Thanks to Emma and her beautiful family for a fun afternoon that felt more like hanging out with old friends than a photo session. Mum, dad, kids — just being themselves, laughing, and me quietly capturing it all 📷

This one feels big 💫
My first ever film grid.

If you’ve been here a while, you’ll know I’ve been quietly moving this way. Slowing down. Letting go of the rush. Trusting light, colour and real connection. Choosing film has challenged me to trust my instincts, to shoot with intention, to embrace imperfection.

And it feels more like me than anything I’ve made before.

This is motherhood.
Arms that are never empty.
A home full of light and life.
Exactly as this season is.

I’m so excited for where this is heading.

Thank you for being here while my work evolves 💛

Part two 💛

I keep thinking about these photos years from now, when these boys are grown, looking back through an album of this time. The cuddles at home, the wild play, the quiet moments in between. Remembering how it felt to be little and deeply loved.

These are the moments that matter. The ones that feel ordinary now but mean everything later.

And if this kind of storytelling feels like something you’d love for your own family, I’d be so honoured to capture it 🥰

Just a side note, I always struggle to pick my favourite photos to post to the gram. I always love it when you receive your gallery and you share with me what ones you loved the most! X

Wholesome.
That’s the word that kept coming back to me over and over while thinking about this shoot. This has to be my favourite session to date.

The home, the family, the doggos, the light. It all just fit.
Photographing another photographer’s family felt incredibly special, especially someone who has captured my own family so many times and inspired me to be where I am today.

Three boys being boys in the most beautiful way. Loud, tender, chaotic, gentle.
There were cuddles, laughter, tears and that golden afternoon glow that makes ordinary moments feel like everything.

Katie and her family made me feel so welcome, like I was meant to be there, not just to photograph but to share the space with them.
I didn’t want to leave.

More in home family sessions like this please! .photography

This is part one 🤍

A mix of digital + 35mm film to capture this sweet chapter for Chloe and her family ✨
With a big move overseas coming up, she wanted to pause time for a moment and document their life here: the light, the warmth, and the feeling of this season before they go.
For sharing online, we worked on a selected a handful of images that keep the kids’ faces private. I love working this way, creating something that still feels heartfelt and true while respecting whatever boundaries feel right for your family. There’s always a beautiful middle ground.

✨ A little more magic from our afternoon in Camden ✨
After we left the colourful chaos of Dessert Lab, we wandered the streets and fell into that perfect mix of fun, play and those little moments of connection that sneak up on you when you’re all out exploring together. The kids were in full adventure mode, the light was bright, and the whole afternoon had this vibrant, happy energy that made everything feel effortless.
Big smiles, quick games, curious little pauses, and the way everyone naturally folds into each other when they’re just enjoying the moment. You can feel the warmth and personality in every photo.
Family photos don’t need a fancy backdrop to be special. Sometimes the best storytelling happens on a colourful street corner, mid-laugh, surrounded by the people you love most.
I’ve been so excited to share these — hope you love this bright, fun filled collection as much as I do 💛
