Phew… 😅Phew… 😅
After the best part of 14 hours between my husband and I, the new studio is finally complete!
Fresh, ready and all set for my very first cake smash this Tuesday 🎂✨
I am officially RE OPEN and back up and running for bookings!
To those who have patiently waited for me to reopen… thank you so much for your patience, support and understanding. It really does mean so much ❤️ I will now be contacting everyone waiting to get you rebooked.
The new studio however is much smaller than what I have been used to, therefore I will be making a few changes to how I run some of my sessions. Unfortunately I am limited on numbers for my family sessions, and I am also limited on the number of adults I can accommodate at one time. I won’t therefore be able to have extra people join to spectate. This will all be explained when booking your session. However i am still available for larger numbers on outdoor locations .
To my existing customers my address has now changed, however this has been updated on my booking system.
New studio… smaller space… but still the same me, creating memories, capturing moments and doing what I love 📸✨
Thank you all again for patiently waiting for me to get back up and running. I can’t wait to welcome you all into my new little studio space 💕

Its not the end entirely 🩵
Just a different loaction for a new studio !!!

Few days ago marked the final cake smash in my studio… and as I close the doors for the very last time, I couldn’t have wished for a more special session to end this chapter. 🩵

A beautiful little boy filled the studio with laughter, messy hands, cheeky smiles and pure joy , the kind that reminds me exactly why I started this journey in the first place.
Standing there capturing those final moments felt emotional in ways I can’t fully explain. This studio has been more than just a space. It’s been part of my story. A place filled with newborn cuddles, first birthdays, families , maternity, christmas , Easter, valentines , happy tears, proud parents, music, laughter and memories that families will treasure forever.
And this little boy became part of the final memory made here.

As the lights go off and the doors close for the last time, I leave with a full heart and endless gratitude for every family who trusted me to capture such precious moments in their lives.

To every single one of you thank you. 🤍

And to this sweet little boy and his family… thank you for being the perfect ending to a chapter I will hold close forever.
The other day his cake smash created a memory for me too. And that’s the beautiful thing about photography… a photo holds those memories for everyone, forever.And i couldn't of ended this chapture any better with this gorgeous little boy 🩵🩵

I will be back open for Bookings
As of next week after Bank holiday weekend .
I have my Dads funeral tommrow 21st May
And taking a break for the weekend to gather my emotions and thoughts .

Any Bookings for mid June onwards will be available in my new studio .

Keep your eyes peeled 👀
For reels as i start preparing my new studio

Much love Marie 🤍🩵

A little update about my studio journey.

My current studio as most of you know , Has been situated in my childhood family home, a place that has held so much more than just my photography business.
That room was once my parents’ bedroom. It’s also where I slept as a baby in my cot, growing up safely beside them, quite literally a baby who grew up in that space. Over the years, it slowly became part of my creative world. A space where my photography began to grow, where ideas came to life, and where so many of you have stepped in front of my camera.
It’s a place filled with music, laughter, and some of the most meaningful memories of my life and work. I can still hear the music playing while I set up, and remember laughing with my dad as I worked those simple, ordinary moments that now mean everything.
My dad always took interest in what I was doing, quietly supporting me and simply letting me get on with building my work there. If it wasn’t for him giving me that space, trusting me with it, and encouraging me in his own way, I truly wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn't for my Dad . My photography journey grew because of that foundation, and I will always be deeply grateful for it.
Recently, I’ve been going through a very emotional time, as my dad sadly passed away. Because of that, the studio space has naturally started to feel different. What once felt full of warmth and familiarity now carries a lot of emotion and memory, and I’ve realised it’s time for me to gently move into a new chapter.
This decision isn’t about leaving behind what was built there , it’s about honouring it.
Everything I am as a photographer, and everything my business has become, was shaped in that space.
As I move into a new, slightly smaller studio space, I’m really excited to continue offering the same sessions you know and love just in a new environment that allows me to grow again, in a way that feels right for this next stage of my journey.
My style will remain the same natural, boho-inspired, simple, and focused on capturing genuine moments. The heart of my work is not changing, only the setting.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me so far, and for continuing to support my work as it evolves.
This next chapter is both emotional and exciting and I can’t wait to welcome you into it.

At this moment in time
I just need to concentrate on building my new space
I have a lot of props to minimise , as i have a whole spare room full ,re building my new studio space
Whilst grieving for my Dad
Please bare with me at what is a very sad time .

Those who pre - booked
If for any reason the new studio will not be ready in time , i will use my old studio so not to disspoint.
If my new studio will be ready i will message you for details and updates .

I am currently not taking any new bookings at this time i just feel time isn't right for me .
Hopefully i should be back up and running next few weeks .
Thankyou again for all your continued support it means so much to me .

Much love Marie ❤️

A little update from me 🤍

Firstly, I just want to say thank you for all of your continued support , for the lovely messages and private messages , it truly means so much, especially during a really difficult time personally after the loss of my dad.

I will be completing all current bookings as planned, and I’ll be in touch with everyone as usual regarding your sessions.
Over the coming weeks,months , I’ll be moving into a new studio space. It will be a slightly smaller, more intimate setting, but I’ll still be offering the same natural, soft and boho-style sessions that you know and love — including cake smashes, family newborn, 6mth sitter , siblings maternity and seasonal minis.
The new space will allow me to keep things simple, relaxed and personal, with sessions tailored to smaller groups to ensure the best experience for you and your little ones.
Thank you for your patience and kindness during this time , I’m so grateful for you all 🤍
More details will be shared soon.

Marie 🤍🤍🤍

I’ve been a little quiet on here lately 🤍

I took some time out to focus on my health and reset a little.

I’m slowly getting back into things now and it feels good to be behind the camera again ✨

My diary is open again if anyone was thinking about a session 🤍

Love marie 🤍
