When was the last time you had photos of the two of you that were really about you?

Not a quick selfie. Not a photo from someone else’s wedding. Just the two of you, enjoying some time together.

September is nearly here, but there are still plenty of beautiful golden evenings to make the most of, and couples sessions are such a lovely way to spend one. Soft, romantic light, a bit of time together, and photos that capture the two of you just as you are.

And if you’re thinking, “we’re awkward in front of the camera”, don’t worry! You don’t need to know what to do or how to pose. I’ll guide you through it, and before long you’ll probably forget the camera is even there. 😉

I have limited evening availability in September, so if you’d love some photos of the two of you, send me a message to book your session.

Golden hour and long grass… I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of this 🌾☀️ Definitely one of my favourite combinations for a session.

If you’ve been thinking about booking a session, I’ve still got some evening dates over the next few weeks. DM me for more info!

I recently had the privilege of spending a couple of days at Adhurst Yurts, capturing some lifestyle photos of their beautiful off‑grid retreat. The cabin and yurts sit quietly within the woods and meadows, making it such a calm, inspiring place to photograph. I really enjoyed bringing out the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere, here are a few of my favourite images.
It was such a lovely project to work on, and I love working with brands and capturing the environments that bring their stories to life.

I’m loving these golden summer evenings at the moment…the soft light, the warm breeze, and that little bit of magic before the sun goes down! 🌅

If you’ve been thinking about booking an evening session, this is a lovely time of year for it. We can’t always predict the weather (as much as we’d like to!), but summer evenings always have their own kind of beauty, whether we get glowing skies or a softer kind of light.

If a beach session has been on your list, now's a lovely time to make it happen.

Whether it's family, maternity, couples, little ones, or four-legged friends, there's something so lovely about spending time by the sea and coming away with photographs that feel like you.

August and September bookings are open. Just bring yourselves and I'll take care of the rest! If you'd like to book just send me a message.

Here's a little look at one of my favourite places to photograph. 🌻

Sam's Sunflowers is such a lovely place to spend time together, wandering through the flowers, exploring, enjoying the little activities around the field.

The perfect setting for relaxed sunflower minis where we can capture the fun, the laughter and all the little moments in between.

And after your photos? Stay as long as you like, grab a drink, pick some sunflowers and make a day of it!

If you’d love to make some summer memories and enjoy a lovely day out, my sunflower mini sessions are now open (link to book in bio). I’d love to see you there!

I’ll let you in on a little secret… it was absolutely pouring with rain during this brand session!

We were keeping one eye on the weather the whole time, but with a bit of flexibility, a clear plan, and a few sheltered spots, we still managed to create these beautiful, natural outdoor images.

It just goes to show that things don't always have to go perfectly to turn out beautifully!

Whether it’s “we’re awkward”, “my partner hates photos”, “the kids won’t sit still”, or “I don’t know how to pose”… I promise you’re not the first person to say this before your photoshoot, I hear these worries before almost every session.

It’s completely normal.

You don’t need to perform. I’ll guide you gently, help you settle in, and together we’ll create something natural and beautiful - whether it’s a couples session, maternity, newborn or family photos.

If you've been waiting until you feel more confident in front of the camera, you don't have to. I'd love to help you feel at ease while capturing this season of your life.
