I’m a location loving, natural light photographer located in Southsea, Hampshire. Having always enjoyed photography it was only when I had my own children that I realised how valuable a tool photography is in capturing our own family story. I love applying the art of photography to creative family images: The beauty and innocence of childhood – from newborn sleepy smiles, baby giggles and raspber

ries to toddler curiosity, missing teeth and wider adventures from teens to adulthood - along with those precious moments between the hussle and bussle of everyday life spent with our families. As far as possible I like to utilise natural light in non studio environments. Familiar backdrops, either your home or a favourite family haunt, lead to relaxed photoshoots as your family feel more 'at home' (sometimes literally) with the surroundings. The result is natural and candid images and with your own personal details featured they also reflect the heart and soul of your family. Which ever stage your family is at, whatever moment you're seeking to preserve, time goes by so fast - I'd be privileged to capture those nostalgic moments for prosperity...beautifully.

It felt like time for a little reintroduction here 👋

I’ve had a camera in hand for nearly two decades now and somewhere along the way I realised I was far more interested in the feeling behind a photograph than perfection itself — the atmosphere, connection and the in-between moments that often end up becoming the most meaningful.

Over the years, I’ve photographed everything from newborns, families and teens through to thoughtful brands, interiors, small businesses and everyday stories here on the South Coast.

What ties it all together is a focus on real connection. The kind that isn’t posed or performed but quietly unfolds when people feel at ease.

This is usually where I do my best work — when people stop overthinking and start to settle into the moment. Nothing too posed or forced, just gentle direction and space for things to unfold naturally.

I’m probably at my happiest near the sea, coffee in hand, chasing good light and noticing the details most people walk past. Open skies, calm spaces, natural connection and imagery that feels honest rather than overly polished will always have my heart.

And, when I’m not behind the camera, I’m balancing life with Pilates, coffee and cake, pottering around the garden, getting overly excited about interiors or catching a bit of sea air.

If you’ve been here for a while, thank you for quietly sticking around while life carried on a little more behind the scenes lately — especially through my slightly inconsistent posting era 😅

And if you’re new here, welcome and say hi below before you go 👇

I love these in-between days.
The ones where time softens a little — when you step outside for a quiet walk or stay in and let the year settle before everything starts again.

These are the moments I’m always watching for as a family photographer.
No rushing. No posing. Just families moving together, talking, pausing, breathing.

If you’re looking for inspiration to step outside I’ve shared places I return to again and again because they give families space to simply be. 

And if you’re looking to capture your festive walk I’ve included some photography tips which you might find useful too…..

📍 Langstone Coastal Circular — soft winter light, gentle paths, and room to walk side by side

📍 Witterings / East Head / Ellanore — wide skies that invite movement and connection

📍 Portchester Castle — room to wander, explore, and linger (with the option to wander on to Wicor Marina for a café pause)

📍 Southsea Seafront & Beach — energy, fresh air, and all the in-between laughter

This is where the most meaningful photographs tend to happen — not in perfect moments, but in the quiet ones in between.

How are you spending these slower days?

Ever wondered what a personal branding and product shoot really looks like?

A year on from our first session, I had the joy of photographing once again — marking a beautiful season of growth, with new products and refreshed packaging on the way.

We worked in the soft morning autumn light, creating imagery that feels like a natural continuation of her brand — cohesive with her existing collection, calm and intentional.

Thoughtful portraits and tactile product moments that reflect the heart of Joanna’s work: rooted in ritual, inspired by nature, and crafted with care.

When the light lingers a little longer…
There’s warmth in the air and unhurried time to be together.

Summer has a way of softening everything – the golden tones, the slower pace, the barefoot ease. It’s why this season is one of my favourites for relaxed family sessions.

I’ve updated one of my blog posts that captures what makes summer shoots so special – from the light to the laughter, and the little in-between moments that make a story yours.

If you’ve been thinking about booking, now’s the time. August is filling and those soft golden evenings won’t last forever.

Don’t let ‘what to wear’ be the reason your bio falls flat

You’ve polished your bio, fine-tuned your keywords, and nailed your links… but if your image isn’t on point, you could be holding yourself back without even realising it.

Your style isn’t just about what looks good. It’s a tool to: 
 ✨ Reflect where you are and where you’re heading next
 ✨ Build instant trust through authentic, aligned presentation
 ✨ Express your personality in a way that feels natural and true

For so many of the amazing women I work with, it’s also a relief to realise you can build trust and connection through your personality, not just your job title or credentials.

Getting that styling right however, can feel overwhelming. The “what to wear” question doesn’t have to hold you back from having an image that reflects who you are. A great stylist (I recommend ) can help you find your style confidence with a wardrobe which will both look physically good in your photos AND reflect your personality and personal brand.

Vicky is also the style expert for our forthcoming Style Story Shoot event on the 24th June! It’s the ideal opportunity to align your style, copy, and images for the perfect profile. See link in bio for more details and to book.
