My whole life has been a battle with my body. I hated how tall I was growing up. Hated never feeling comfortable in the same outfits as my friends. Hated feeling pressured to wear makeup just to hide my acne scars. Hated (and still hate) how brutal society can be towards women especially.

But then I became a mum to three beautiful children. Two of them being girls, and I swore I would never let them grow up feeling the way I did as a teenager.

So I started consciously unpicking all the negative noise I had carried for years, about my body and women’s bodies in general. I began trying to see myself differently. Then I fell pregnant with my third baby, and my girls were old enough to watch my body change right in front of them.

They saw my belly grow day by day, stretching, softening, creating a safe space for their little brother.

And somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing flaws and instead saw proof of how utterly incredible our bodies are.

My body has carried, grown, and fed three incredible children and for the first time in my life, I don’t want to hide it.

I just want to notice it… and be grateful for it.

Officially back in business! ✨📸

What a delight it was to capture two new additions for a returning family as my very first home session back.

There's something so special about being invited back to document another chapter of a family's story - especially one as beautiful as this🤍

Little moments: warm water, soft light, and the quiet world of him discovering it all🤍

📸✨ Family Model Call ✨📸

Following the lovely response to my newborn/baby model call, I’m now looking for a family of 4+ to take part in a relaxed golden hour family session in exchange for 50% off the session fee.

The family must be happy for images from the session to be used across my socials and portfolio.

I can be flexible with dates, but sessions would take place around 6pm-7pm to catch the best evening light ✨

This session is best suited to families with walking toddlers and older children rather than young babies. Larger families are welcome too, ideally with no more than 10 people in total.

You’ll receive access to your full gallery, with the discounted session fee including 10 digital images for you to download.

If you’d like to be considered, please send me a PM.

P.S - There will be no awkward standing and saying “cheese” at the camera. Instead I’ll gently guide you with some fun prompts to create some genuine smiles 😍

Thanks

✨Do you work in a local Nursery? Let’s chat!✨

I have 1 space available for a new nursery this year! 📸

What can I offer?🤔

⭐️Stress-free sessions⭐️
I have over 12 years experience working with young children and families (including SEN), ensuring sessions are fun, natural and efficient.

⭐️High quality photos⭐️
From candid moments to seasonal set ups. My portraits are always natural using a gentle, child led approach. You can choose between a small studio style set up or have your beautiful nursery setting/garden as the backdrop!

⭐️Easy ordering system with a quick turn around⭐️
I provide secure, password protected galleries within 1-2 weeks of the session. I offer affordable packages which enable parents to choose between the digital versions or beautiful mounted prints which are hand delivered directly to the nursery.

🤩The best part is that there is absolutely zero cost to the nursery!🤩

If you'd like to find out more, please kindly contact me to arrange a chat or trial session for your nursery. I look forward to hearing from you!

A little update on how I photograph newborn sessions🤍

After many years, my posing beanbag and backdrop are officially being retired! Something I’ve used since my early days working in a studio over 10 years ago. It’s been a big part of my journey, but it feels like the right time for a change ✨

Since becoming a mother (almost 8 years ago!🥹), I’ve fallen in love with capturing families in a more natural, relaxed way.
No props, no posing, just real, beautiful moments at home.

It’s slower, calmer, and completely baby-led.
It feels so much more meaningful and natural to me.

I know some people will still prefer a studio style experience, so I wanted to share what you can expect when you book with me moving forward🤍

So if you love cosy, natural images that capture those beautiful early moments, then this is exactly what I offer.

Any questions at all, just pop me a message 🤍

Tomorrow marks my 6th Nursery session this summer, it's been such a joy capturing so many little personalities! 🥰
But it was lovely to do something a bit different today and welcome Finley and his family back for his cake smash session! 🎂

I'm completely obsessed with this car/racing theme - how adorable is this set up?! 🏁🏎️

A big thank you to Toyah and Shaun for trusting me to capture more precious memories for you all, it’s always a pleasure to see you both. And thankyou again for baby boys gift, such a kind gesture ❤️

I can't wait for you to see the rest!
