"What's the best time for a photoshoot?"

Whilst we can make any time work, I will always prefer to shoot in the first hour or so after sunrise or just before sunset. This gives us a beautiful orange glow, which is really flattering and gives the photos a magical and luxurious feel. If you don't fancy that or the timings just don't work for your little ones, we can find patches of indirect shade like the ones in the photo, which means you're not squinting into the sun and there are no harsh shadows on you.

If you want to know the best golden hour spots, or locations that work well during the tricker day time hours, let me know and I can help you find the perfect spot for your family 📸

"Do we need to know how to pose?"

Not at all. Most of the families I photograph tell me they're awkward in front of the camera, they don't know what to do with their hands or where to look. The good news is your job isn't to pose perfectly, it's just to be together.
Have a cuddle, a chat, give them a piggyback ride or tell a silly joke and I'll take care of the rest ✨

✨ Father's Day Sessions ✨

With Father's Day just around the corner (21st June if you didn't know!), I'm so excited to be running more photography sessions this year to help you celebrate. Last year's were really special (the Dads really do bring the fun!), so I can't wait to see some returning clients who have already signed up, as well as some new families too.
your needs.

🌿 Saturday 13th June (early evening)
🌿 Saturday 20th June (afternoon)

Beautiful woods and countryside locations 🌳

£55 per family including 5 digital images

Your session is designed for you to use it exactly how you'd like so whether you want just the Dads, the whole family, the fur babies or the Dads-to-be, just let me know.

I have decided to reduce the number of slots available this time as June is looking busy already, so do get in touch if you'd like to reserve your space.

If you're on my email list and received your money off offer, please let me know when booking.

See you there!

"My baby is already past the newborn stage! Is it too late to do photos?"

Absolutely not! Lots of people love to have photos taken of their baby at just a few days or weeks old, to capture them at their tiniest and newest. They don't stay that little for long!

But if you didn't feel up to it or didn't get round to it, then it's never too late. At home sessions can be at any age, and you'll never regret having those photos to look back on ✨

For the ones who know how to get the biggest smiles 🙏🏼

Father's Day - coming soon ✨

These photos are beautiful to have now, but their real value only grows with time. In 10, 20 or 30 years, you’ll look back on these moments of childhood with so much love and one day, their children will too ✨

It’s not just a photoshoot, it’s a chance to slow down, be present, play, and soak in the little moments that matter most. Laughter, the chaos, the cuddles, the tears, and simply being together ✨

If you're looking for a low stress, low cost solution to family photography, then mini sessions are your answer 📸

No deliberating over the location or planning the details - it's all done for you. Just turn up, spend 20 minutes hanging with your people, and let me take care of the rest.

After your session, your gallery is delivered straight to your inbox where you can choose your favourite images to keep forever, with the option to add more if narrowing them down feels impossible.

It's a simple, more affordable way to capture beautiful memories without the overwhelm ✨

Bluebell season seemed extra special this year 💙

Lots of families said it would be their new tradition to have family photos done in the spring each year amongst the blooms. When you can compare the exact same moment in time from year to year, it makes it so obvious how much your family has changed and why it's so important to record these moments before they are gone ✨
