A few things you probably didn’t know about me.

Before photography, there was documentary filmmaking. Before motherhood, there was a very different version of me. This carousel is a little glimpse into both world - the stories, experiences, and moments that shaped my work today as a creative.

Black and white portraits have a way of capturing emotion in its purest form. Without the distraction of colours or surroundings, the focus shifts entirely to the connection, the anticipation, and the quiet beauty of waiting for someone you haven’t even met yet.

The quiet moments before everything changes. 👶

I photographed and Mike at their antenatal class with and I was overwhelmed by the love that flowed through every image. ❤️

The newborn days pass in a blur of tiny movements, quiet routines, and moments that often feel ordinary at the time - until one day they become the memories you miss the most.

This is why documentary family photography and video matters to me. Not perfectly posed moments, but honest ones.

The moments you’ll one day long to return to. ❤️

Preparing for birth can feel overwhelming- there’s so much information out there, and it’s hard to know what will actually help on the day.

I met Stephanie from while photographing her antenatal classes here in Caterham - two local mums, both passionate about supporting women through this stage of life 🤍

Spending time in these sessions, and photographing so many mums-to-be, I’m constantly reminded how important it is to feel calm, supported, and confident before meeting your baby.

I asked Stephanie to share a few honest, quickfire thoughts on what really matters when preparing for birth.

If you’re expecting, I’ve written a full guide on antenatal classes on my blog -> link in bio.

And if you are thinking about capturing this special chapter, I’d love to help you do that in a natural, relaxed way.

Spring marks the start of a season of family moments - christenings, weddings and gatherings with the people who matter the most. 🤍

These occasions often become the rare moments when everyone is together in one place.

If you are wondering if you should book a photographer for your family event this season, this is your sign to do it! I capture natural, unposed photography and video for families in Caterham and the surrounding area.

These pictures are from a beautiful christening at in Caterham On The Hill, which has beautiful natural light and welcoming atmosphere.

DM me if you want to chat about your upcoming family event.

The tiny moments that matter most ❤️

Some newborns sleep through their photoshoot. Others are wide awake, taking in the world for the very first time 🗺️

I have a few gentle tricks to help little ones drift off: swaddling, taking a pause for a feed, or simply slowing everything down.

But sometimes babies are just too curious about the world to sleep… and in those moments I lean into it. Because what matters most isn’t whether they sleep - it’s capturing who they are in these early days.

The tiny expressions.
The curious looks.
Their very first glimpse of the world.

Those are the moments that tell the real story.

Your HOME is the backdrop of your family’s BEGINNING 🏠

For me every newborn session is about preserving not just how your baby looked, but how it felt in those early days.

I’ve written a full blogpost about why home is the most meaningful place for a newborn session. Read it via the link in my bio 🧡
