My bro in law has had his electric bike stolen outside Park Surgery in Horsham, today. It had a big chain on it that would needed bolt cutters or bigger.

It’s a dark green, chopper style bike so if you see it can you let me know. Police have been informed.

It’s his 70th birthday tomorrow, so would be great to get it back for him 🤞🏻😃

Thanks

When your naughty cat gatecrashes your photo session….

It's a privilege to be part of someone newborn baby journey.

It's so special to be recommended by parents that have also trusted you with their babies and I take my job very seriously.

This beautiful lady was so relaxed for her photos and even though she was so tiny, she was also VERY nosey and didn't want to sleep. I don't think she wanted to miss anything that was going on. This meant that the parents were very lucky and got lots of beautiful awake and asleep photos.

I don't limit how many you receive after your session, as I love to share any beautiful photos with you.

This is a small selection of their photos!

On a side note, if you ever need a reliable mechanic, her daddy is the man to go to! I first met him when he came recommended to repair my daughters air con in her car (we are VERY grateful this year) and even though it was a nightmare, he didn't give up until the job was done. Having him come to your house makes it so much easier!

There is a sense of calm in our house today.

I’m sat outside in the garden, editing while listening to birds and the Christ Hospital students walking to their train… (heading home for the summer, so it’s a great noise)

The weekend was really busy with a cake smash, newborn, wedding and family session but TODAY….

Today there are no GCSE exams, no A Level exams and no more B-Tec course work.. we made it through!!

If you have teenagers sitting their exams you know exactly what I’m talking about. (If yours has one more today, good luck.. tomorrow will be your turn)

It’s been a long time coming and it’s only now, do I realise how stressful it’s been.

Well done to you, as a parent for supporting them through this tough time, and well done to your children for making it through!!

I hope they have a fantastic extended summer break, which they truly deserve. And good luck for the next stage of their adventure 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

There is something so incredibly special about welcoming a new baby into the world and capturing those first precious moments together. Watching a proud big brother meet his little sister for the very first time is pure magic — a moment filled with curiosity, tenderness, and the beginning of a lifelong bond.

These are the memories that families will treasure forever. Tiny fingers, sleepy cuddles, gentle kisses, and the love that instantly fills the room. Time moves so quickly, which is why preserving these moments through photographs is so important.

As a photographer, it is a privilege to witness and capture the overwhelming love parents have for their children. Every glance, every cuddle, and every smile tells a story of a growing family and a love that knows no limits.

Welcome to the world, little one. Your big brother already adores you, and your journey together is only just beginning. 💕

I had the pleasure of being back at Horsham Registry Office on Friday to celebrate the love of a wonderful couple.

Their photos will come soon but I wanted to share with you how stunning the building and gardens are looking.

Every time I go it looks beautiful but I can safely say this is THE BEST that it has ever looked. Whoever is tending to the gardens is doing a fantastic job and are creating a stunning back drop for your photos.

The building and gardens make your photos look like you have hired a gorgeous private venue, yet this is a place that I bet few people in Horsham know is there for you to visit.

If you have any questions about a wedding photo session please do get in touch. I concentrate on the more intimate wedding and am always happy to meet up for a chat.

If you're not getting married but are in the area, please do visit this gorgeous area of Horsham Park and let me know what you think.

If you know who tends to these gardens please do let me know.
