It feels like time for another little hello 👋🏼

✨I’ve been photographing families, babies and weddings for 12 years now. Over the years, my work has changed so much — but I think the biggest shift has been in me.
✨When I first started, I was so focused on getting everything “right.” Perfect posing, perfect light, perfect smiles. But as the years have passed, I’ve found myself drawn more and more towards the in-between moments. The relaxed, honest, connected kind of images. The way your child reaches for your hand without thinking. The quiet chaos. The softness. The movement. The moments that actually feel like you.
I’ve realised my approach now is less about posing and more about gently shaping moments as they naturally unfold. Creating space for people to settle into themselves rather than perform for the camera.
✨A huge part of that comes from who I am outside of photography too. I’ve become someone who craves slower living, fresh air, wild spaces, muddy walks, changing seasons and being outdoors as much as possible — and I can see that reflected so clearly in my work now. I want my images to feel natural, grounded and full of life.
✨I’ve also spent the last few years understanding myself on a much deeper level, including receiving neurodivergent diagnoses that suddenly made so much of my life make sense. And in many ways, I think that’s shaped my photography too. I notice small things. I feel deeply. I connect deeply. I’m endlessly tuned into emotion, energy and people — especially children, who I’ve always seemed to understand instinctively.
What used to feel like “too much” about me has actually become one of my biggest strengths in the way I photograph people.
✨So if you’re here — whether you’ve followed me for years or you’re brand new — hi. Thank you for being here. Thank you for trusting me with your stories, your families and your memories over all these years 🤍

Newborn photography is a big responsibility, so why choose me?

✨ I have spent years walking into homes, not knowing the environment or the light. I notice how the light spills through the window, and any corner can become the perfect setting.
✨I don't use props or any forced poses. I instead gently shape moments for true authenticity.
✨The focus is on your baby, and of course proud siblings and furry family members!
✨I capture the quiet moments, natural connections, tiny details and your growing family so you truly remember those fleeting early days.
✨ No pressure, no over styling, just you, and your baby.

Thank you for all that have invited me into your homes and trusted me with creating these special memories 💕

I love my role as a neonatal physiotherapist, and I think it really helps me be a better newborn photographer, too. My role on NNU includes supporting families to:
✨Recognise communication and stress cues
✨Calm and comfort their baby
✨Provide baby led, not task led, care
✨Connect with their baby, both physically and through communication and understanding
✨Parent, from the very start
✨Improve confidence with practical parenting skills on NNU and at home
✨Provide age appropriate developmental support
✨Feed their babies, how they want to
✨Build healthier bodies and brains 💪🏻 🧠

✨Nature provides me with the backdrop for the majority of my work. It’s my happy place, I find it fascinating, beautiful and soothing. I’m often told I see details that perhaps others miss, tiny little patterns or how the light is playing on the trees or through the leaves.
✨I use this when I photograph, ensuring that I always have the lighting and backdrop just right to create those memorable images.
✨Thanks nature, I hope I always find find joy, comfort and awe through you 🙏🏻

Last weekend I had the joy of photographing a family who’ve been part of my journey for years — and I mean years. From capturing their oldest as a tiny newborn, to watching their family grow.
There’s something so meaningful about that kind of connection — when it’s not just a photoshoot, but a catch-up, a laugh, and a little trip down memory lane all rolled into one.

Seeing how much the kids have grown, their personalities emerge, and the love that just grows - it never gets old ❤️

Thank you for always trusting me 🫶🏻

There’s something special about keeping things simple.

This little session was exactly what I love most — no props, no posing, no pressure. Just a beautiful baby, being completely themselves. His parents wanted something natural and relaxed, and I believe that’s where the magic lives ✨

This is your reminder that your baby doesn’t need to “perform” for photos. Just being them is already everything.

Thank you for trusting me with something so precious.

Why do I take a hundred photos of little baby feet and hands?
Because one day those feet will be running through the house and stomping through the woods, and those hands will be covered in snacks and holding yours, and everyone will wonder how they were ever this small.

Please think of me if you are still wondering what to get those special mother figures in your life for this Sunday, drop me a line if you would like a voucher for a photo shoot. £130 for 1 hour family shoot and 20 digital images 💕

A very misty, very muddy and a jumping in puddles kind of shoot. This adventurous and very excited little lady already has a lot to teach her new baby brother or sister. And it looks like she just can't wait! 🍂🌳🍁

I love capturing details, especially when the details are so beautiful. The dress was elegant and classy, a perfect match for a manor house wedding, and the florals were stunning, bursting with autumn colours to match the season and so beautifully made. Well chosen details are what turns your photographs into a carefully curated story, making your gallery feel complete, cohesive, and very much yours.

💍✨ I find engagement shoots a lot of fun. Mostly because I get to third-wheel cute couples while they sweetly comply with all my strange demands like piggy backs, first dances, dippy kisses funny accents, and 'nose drawings' on the cheek (no guesses for the most commonly drawn shape...👀).

But let’s be real, it’s not just about pretty pictures (though you’ll definitely get those). It’s about capturing the little things:
The way they look at each other, they way they laugh together and the quiet moments of connection. 💕
