But I’m not most photographers. What you most likely want to know is am I the photographer that you’re looking for and can I help you tell your story.

The Vale's leading newborn photographer
Award winning UK & international photographer
Qualified newborn photographer
Craftsman in portraits
Specialist newborn and child photographer
Based in Barry, South Wales This is the section where most other photographers will tell you about themselves; what they do, why they do it, how many awards they have and so on and so forth. Let’s be honest, you don’t really want to know about me (though if you do, I can tell you that I love animals and I’m quite partial to a glass of gin and tonic or two). Because that’s essentially what photography is, it’s a way of documenting portions of our lives that we can’t put down in words. It’s a way to share moments of our past with future generations so we can say ‘this is what I used to look like’. So how will you know if I’m the right photographer for your story? Read through the points below and if they sound like you, then you’ve found the right photographer. You love and appreciate beautifully crafted images. Quality is more important to you than quantity. You want a fun, relaxed photoshoot. You want some beautiful pieces of art to hang on the walls of your home. You want an experienced, trained, qualified photographer who will capture the images you want. You don’t want a hard sell at your viewing session. You want a photographer who can get great results in any situation. Attention to detail is important to you. Did you answer yes to most of those? Then congratulations, you’ve found your photographer!

A big shoutout to Amy from The Coeliac Shack for dropping this bowl of deliciousness to the studio for me to try.
I was more than happy to be a taste tester for their vegan curry and it did not disappoint.
this is definitely one for you to try!

'At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them'.

Where has people's patience gone?

This morning I was heading to the Civic Offices in Barry to photograph the Armistice Day service, something I genuinely look forward to every year.

I slowed down at the first entrance to the car park, only to see that the barrier was down. The car behind me, a taxi, decided that this was apparently a good enough reason to blare his horn at me.

I drove up to the next entrance, indicated, slowed down and started to turn in. Clearly, I wasn't moving quickly enough for the taxi driver, who then overtook me and gave me another blast of his horn.

I'm sorry if I potentially added an extra 20 seconds to your journey. I'm sure wherever you were going was far more important than someone trying to find somewhere to park.

On a day when we're taking time to remember those who gave their lives for our freedeom, perhaps a little patience, understanding and consideration for the people around us wouldn't go amiss.

Anyway, here is a photo from the British War Cemetery in Wimille, just outside Boulogne-sur-Mer. We visited last week to pay our respects. It's such a beautifully maintained cemetery and a very sobering place to visit.

It's a reminder that we should never take for granted the sacrifices made by those who came before us.

I love little moments like this.

A little bit of curiosity, a peek behind the curtain and wondering what might be waiting on the other side.

This is why I love having a full Christmas set rather than just a backdrop. There's so much for kids to explore, and sometimes the best photographs come from those little moments in between.

Not every photo needs a smile at the camera. Sometimes the ones that tell a story are even better.

Ready to create some images like this with your own children? Just send me a message to get started.

A number of years ago, another photographer asked why I'd chosen to open a studio in Barry then said 'good luck getting people to come from Cardiff'.
Well, this gorgeous pair travelled all the way from Bristol for their Christmas session on Saturday. That made me very happy indeed.

There are still spaces left to book your Christmas session but don't leave it too late.

One thing my clients tell me every year is just how much they love my Christmas set. It makes my heart happy.

Every single element is real. Every light, every ornament, every prop and the Christmas tree itself. Nothing is just printed on a backdrop.

That’s what creates the beautiful depth and atmosphere you simply can’t replicate with a background alone.

And because the set is fully immersive, there’s so much for little ones to explore and engage with. Even the wriggliest toddlers have plenty to keep them entertained!

The result? Photographs with all the magic, warmth and sparkle of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Every single time.
