Holiday Mode: ON 🇭🇺

It’s that time of year again…

For the next couple of weeks, I’ll be taking my annual summer break and heading home to Hungary to spend some much-needed quality time with family and friends.

I’m looking forward to everything that makes summer feel like home: days by Lake Balaton, concerts, beach days, plenty of laughter, and of course… a proper Hungarian lángos! ☀️🌊💛

Time to slow down, recharge and make special memories with the people I love before another busy season begins.

Although I’m officially on holiday, I’ll still check my emails and messages from time to time, so if you’d like to enquire about a future session, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Replies may just take a little longer than usual.

I’ll also be sharing a few little moments from our adventures in Hungary over the next couple of weeks, and I hope you’ll enjoy following along. 🇭🇺☀️

Thank you so much for all your continued support, I can’t wait to be back behind the camera creating more beautiful memories for your families.

See you soon! 🤍

This little gentleman will be starting school this September and I feel so honoured to have captured this special milestone for his family. He was an absolute star in front of the camera!

I’m opening my second Off to Big School Mini Session at the end of August. Spaces are limited, so if your little one is getting ready for their very first day at school, now is the perfect time to create memories you’ll treasure forever.

🌿 A weekend exploring Dorset

A couple of weeks ago, we escaped to one of our favourite parts of the South Coast for a little family adventure with friends.

As you might have guessed… our friends are photographers too, so of course a photographers’ trip wouldn’t be complete without taking plenty of photos of each other! 🥹 But I still prefer to be behind the camera rather than front off.

Kimmeridge Bay, Dancing Ledge and Durdle Door welcomed us with a blanket of sea mist. While some might have been disappointed by the weather, we absolutely loved it. The mist created such a magical, atmospheric backdrop that made every location feel even more special.

And the best part? The light was so beautiful that many of the images needed very little editing afterwards.

Thankfully, the sunshine joined us for the rest of our trip.

One of my favourite discoveries was Tyneham Village, a peaceful place full of history. If you’re ever visiting Dorset, I’d highly recommend taking the short walk down to Worbarrow Bay. It was definitely one of the hidden gems of our weekend.

We finished our little getaway with an afternoon in Sandbanks, the perfect ending to two wonderful days.

Dorset never disappoints. 🤍

Have you visited any of these places?

📸 Bournemouth Beach is now officially on my photoshoot location list!

After a successful test session, I’m happy to say that this stunning stretch of coastline is now available to all my clients.

This recent family session was everything a beach photoshoot should be: relaxed, natural and filled with genuine moments. Watching the connection between a mother and her daughters unfold in front of the camera was truly special. The pride in a mother’s eyes, the endless energy of childhood and the carefree laughter carried by the sea breeze created memories far more valuable than any posed photograph ever could.

Moments like these are why I love what I do 🥰

If you’d love your own family memories captured against the beautiful backdrop of Bournemouth Beach, bookings are now open.

🎓 CLASS OF 2026 🎓

It feels like only yesterday they were taking their very first steps…

Now they’re getting ready for their very first day of school.

The end of Nursery marks such a special moment in a child’s journey, a milestone filled with excitement, pride and just a little bit of disbelief at how quickly the years have passed.

My Nursery Graduation Mini Sessions are all about celebrating this moment and creating memories you’ll treasure long after those tiny backpacks have been replaced by bigger dreams.

✨ 30-minute mini session
🎓 Graduation gown & accessories provided
📸 Fun, relaxed and natural portraits
🌿 Optional outdoor photographs (weather permitting)☀️

The first day of school lasts a moment. The memories last a lifetime💫

Life sometimes forces us to slow down a little… and lately, I’ve had to take a small health-related break.

As much as I miss being out with my camera, right now I’m giving myself the time to rest, recover and hopefully return soon to the rhythm I love so much 📸

Until then, I wanted to share something a little different, a few behind-the-scenes moments. Some images taken of me while working and the photographs created through my lens in those exact moments.

Back in London, just the very next day and it already felt like a completely different experience 🌷

I had the chance to wander through a tulip farm, surrounded by endless colours and beautifully layered rows of flowers. For a moment, it didn’t even feel like England… more like a quiet walk somewhere in the Netherlands.

There’s something about tulips: the simplicity, the variety, the way they catch the light, that makes you pause and just look a little longer.

Sharing a few moments from this magical place. I hope you’ll feel a bit of it through these images
