I’m a motherhood, family and portrait photographer based in Oxfordshire, working with natural light to capture the quiet, often unseen moments between you and your loved ones. Life moves faster than we ever expect, and in the rush of everyday, it’s so easy to forget the little things - the way your children laugh, the way they reach for you, the way this season feels. My work is about preserving t

hose fleeting chapters and turning them into something tangible - beautiful, honest photographs that become heirlooms. Not just images on a screen, but paper memories to be held, loved, and passed down for generations.

I think about this a lot...

The mother who is present for every single moment -every first, every ordinary Tuesday, every middle of the night - and who will one day look back through the family albums and find herself almost entirely absent from them.

Not because she wasn't there. She was always there. She was just always the one holding the camera.

I don't have children of my own. But I have spent years watching mothers, really watching them, and what I notice, more than anything else, is how much of themselves they quietly give away without ever being asked. Their time, their sleep, their sense of self, their place in the frame.

My work is a small attempt to give something back. To say you were here. You mattered in this season. You were not just the person who documented it, you were the heart of it.

If nobody has told you to get in front of the camera lately, consider this me telling you.

The studio calendar is open. Use the link in bio, or send me a message — I'd love to hear where you are in your motherhood right now ✨

Film has always felt like memory to me.

Not sharp or perfect or particularly neat. Just honest. The way the light sits a little differently. The softness that digital has never quite been able to hold onto, no matter how close it gets.

When I photograph a mother with her baby on film, something happens that I’ve never been able to fully explain. The images come back from the lab and they look the way the moment felt - not the way it looked. Warm and a little worn at the edges and completely, quietly true.

That’s the thing about film. It doesn’t try to improve on what was there. It just holds it.

Film and Polaroid add-ons are available for newborn, family, maternity and motherhood sessions. If you’d like yours shot on 35mm, just mention it when you enquire - link in bio 🎞️

Ten days old.

Still curled the way she was before the world had her. Still carrying that particular newness - the softness of her skin, the smallness of her hands, the way she fits so completely into the people who already love her most.

This is the version of her she'll never be again ✨

She’ll remember the feeling of it, long after she’s forgotten the details.

The way those first weeks moved - slowly and impossibly fast at the same time. How small he was. How it felt to hold him for the first time and not quite believe he was real.

This is My Baby Book from , and from the moment I lifted the lid, I understood why it exists. It starts before the baby even arrives. There’s space for the pregnancy, the waiting, the bump photos, the letter you wrote before you knew what kind of mother you’d be. And then it follows you all the way through arrival, first years, milestones, memories right up to their fourth birthday.

As a newborn photographer in Oxfordshire, I work with mothers who are already a little afraid of forgetting. Who hold their babies and feel time moving underneath them. My photographs give them something to look back on, but this book gives them somewhere to write it all down. The feelings. The details. The things a photograph can’t quite hold.

The two things belong together, I think.

If you’re expecting, or you know someone who is, this is the gift. Find it at ✨

There is something about the first few days that feels unlike anything else.

Before the exhaustion has a name. Before she knows the shape of this new life quite yet. There is just this — the weight of her baby, the softness of her skin, the way her whole body already knows exactly how to hold her.

A mother meeting her daughter for the first time is one of the quietest, most overwhelming things I get to witness. The little forehead kisses that happen without thinking. The smiles that come from somewhere so deep they surprise even her.

These are the moments she will want to remember. Not the perfect ones. These ones.

For mothers who want to hold onto the very beginning - newborn sessions are available this summer in my Oxfordshire studio. Link in bio to enquire ✨

She almost didn’t book. She told me she wasn’t sure she’d feel comfortable — that she never knew what to do in front of a camera, that she’d probably just feel awkward the whole time.

I hear this from mothers all the time.

And every single time, somewhere in the middle of the session, something changes. She stops thinking about how she looks. She stops worrying about whether the baby is behaving or whether she’s doing it right. She just… holds her baby. And that’s the moment I’m waiting for — the one she didn’t plan, the one she couldn’t have performed even if she tried.

That’s what I’m here to capture. Not the perfect pose. The real thing.

If you’ve been putting off booking because you’re not sure you’re the kind of person who’s comfortable being photographed — this is for you.

My studio diary is open for summer newborn and motherhood sessions in Oxfordshire, and I would love to hold space for you and your baby.

Clocked in: the studio, the warmth, a newborn settled against their mother's chest, and the quiet privilege of being trusted with moments like these.

Clocked out: wildflowers, coastal walks, coffee shops, and my cameras coming with me wherever I go.

Honestly? Both versions of this job feel like a gift.

As a newborn and motherhood photographer, the lines between work and life blur in the best possible way — because the thing that fills me up off the clock is the exact same thing that drives everything I do in the studio. A love of light. Of stillness. Of capturing something real before it passes.

If you've ever wondered what goes on behind the lens, this is it. The coffee, the coastline, the carefully rolled backdrops, the mother who just needed someone to slow things down for her for an hour.

This is the whole picture.

Save this if it made you smile, and if you've been thinking about booking a newborn or motherhood session — my diary is open. Send me a message or hit the link in bio.

The digital image is just the beginning.

Every session I offer comes with the option to add film or polaroids, because some things deserve to exist off a screen. In your hands. On your walls. Somewhere your children can find them one day.

A polaroid doesn't live on a hard drive. It lives on a bedside table, tucked into a memory box, held up to the light by tiny hands years from now asking "is that me?"

These three mothers — one carrying her baby, one holding him tight, one with her two — all have something physical to show for these days. Something with texture and warmth and a little grain around the edges. Something that feels exactly as tender as the moment it captured.

That's what I want for you too.

If you've been thinking about adding polaroids or film to your session, this is your sign. Save this post so you remember to ask me about it when you book, and if someone you know is expecting or deep in that tender newborn season, send this their way ✨

She wasn't sure she was "ready." Wasn't sure she'd feel comfortable, or look right, or that it would be worth it with a newborn who may have her own plans for the day.

But she came anyway. And she handed herself over to the experience — to the quiet of the studio, to holding her baby close without an agenda, to just being in it for a little while.

By the end, she held her little one the way she does at 3am when no one is watching. Soft and close and completely present. And that's exactly what we captured.

Not a posed portrait. Not a milestone checklist. Just a mother and her newborn — and the particular tenderness of these very first days.

This is what intimate newborn photography looks like. Not perfect. Just real, and deeply felt, and entirely theirs.

If you've been on the fence about booking — this is your sign. Newborn sessions fill quickly and these early weeks don't wait. Drop "newborn" in the comments or send me a message and I'll send you everything you need.

Sometimes it’s the smallest movements that become the memories you miss most…

The way they snuggle themselves into the pillow.
Those sleepy little stretches.
The tiny noises and movements that already feel different a few weeks later.

At six weeks old, everything is still changing so quickly — and while these moments might seem ordinary now, they’re often the ones parents find themselves longing to hold onto most.

This is why I photograph motherhood the way I do. Quietly, gently, and with space for babies to simply be. Because the beauty isn’t always in the perfectly posed moments, but in the tiny in-between ones you never want to forget.

Shot in my Oxfordshire motherhood studio using a mixture of digital and film photography, to preserve these moments as honestly and softly as they felt ✨
