There are some people you come across who are just exceptional at what they do — and here is one of them 💫

I recently had the pleasure of photographing an open clinic for Caroline Kinash, a brilliant physio based right here in Benson — and it felt only right to share just how incredible she is at what she does.
I’ve personally been to see Caz many times over the years for pilates my own rehab, and every single time I come away feeling reassured, understood, and in the best hands. Her level of knowledge is amazing — she’s constantly learning, staying up to date through courses and scientific research, and it really shows in the way she works.

What I love most is how she takes the time to explain things properly, gently correcting any misconceptions and helping you actually understand your body. And somehow, even when you’re being examined (which isn’t always the most fun!), she makes the whole experience feel relaxed and calm.
If you’re local and ever in need of a physio, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her 🤍

💛 Dandelion and Buttercup Mini Sessions - Book Now! 💛

Spring Mini Session bookings are now officially OPEN!

But before we get to the dates, there’s something new this year…

For the first time ever, I’m running a little Spring Mini sale.

Usually these sessions are £140 for a 20–30 minute session including 3 digital images, but if you book before midnight on March 31st, the price is just £99!

Once March ends, the price goes back to normal — so if you’ve been thinking about booking a family session this year, this is a lovely time to do it.

This year’s Dandelion and Buttercup Mini sessions are:
- Saturday 9th May

Bluebell Mini Sessions can also be booked now dates are:
• Saturday 25th April
• Sunday 26th April

As always, the sessions are short, relaxed and perfect for updated family photos, the kids on their own, or a mix of both.

You can see all the details and book your slot via my website (link in Bio)

These sessions do tend to go quite quickly so if you have a particular date or time in mind it's worth grabbing it while it's available.

I’d love to see lots of familiar faces — and some new ones too.

Sleep or no sleep, this little one was just the most wonderful, calm and engaged newborn I have every photographed! At 2 weeks old, he had already decided that sleep wasn't for him, but his eye contact was amazing and he lay calmly allowing me to pose him comfortably throughout the session! What a gorgeous new family!

Every newborn is different and not all sessions are the same, but they are all baby led and uniquely yours!

If you are due a baby in 2026, get in touch now to register your due date with me and book your newborn photoshoot. ❤️

While the rain pours outside, I keep thinking about the warmth, calm and beautiful connection from this at-home newborn shoot last month 🤍

Being at home made such a difference. No rushing, no packing bags, no worrying about the weather — just slow moments, cuddles on the sofa, and space for siblings to relax and be fully themselves.

It was gentle, unhurried and honestly such a joy to photograph.

Although I usually photograph newborns in my studio, sessions like this have reminded me how special home photography can be — not just for newborns, but for families too. Your home holds your everyday togetherness: the way you gather, cuddle, play and connect — and that’s exactly what I love to capture.
Especially during these cold, wet months, an at-home session is a cosy, stress-free alternative to outdoor photos, while still creating timeless, meaningful images that feel truly you.

If you’ve been thinking about newborn or family photos but want something relaxed, natural and full of connection, an at-home session might be perfect for you 🤍

Please feel free to message me to find out more — I’d love to photograph more families this way.

As we step into a brand new year, I realised many of you know my work — but not so much me.
This photo feels like the perfect way to start — taken last summer by the incredibly talented .

So here are some facts about me!

1. I grew up in West London surrounded by grey, so I adore and appreciate everything the countryside has to offer 🌿

2. I used to be a primary school teacher. I love working with children but I especially love getting to plan photoshoots they'll enjoy while also having time to spend with my own kids!

3. I have two wonderful daughters (Hazel & Cleo) who are your typical little monkeys! They love each other fiercely, but argue relentlessly 😂 Taking them out for photoshoots is something I have long since given up on (I outsource now 😁).

4. My husband is a Royal Marine and is often away, we miss him a lot when he travels!

5. I am a real lover of 90's, nostalgia and pop culture! Nothing makes me happier than listening to 90's punk, playing Sonic on the Megadrive or rewatching the Animals of Farthing Wood with my daughters.

6. I would happily eat breakfast for every meal and one of my favorite things is a hotel breakfast buffet! 😋

7. Skiing and snowboarding are my obsessions! I did a ski season when I was in my 20's and it was the best! I would love to live in the mountains, its my happy place!

8. On Sunday I am crossing that boundary from 'being 40' to 'being in my 40's' (there's a big difference!) 😅

If you’re new here, welcome. And if you’ve been here a while — thank you for trusting me with your memories 🤍
Here’s to another year of connection, chaos, cuddles and beautiful stories being told.
