We are never just one thing.

We're confident and vulnerable. Strong and soft. Serious and completely ridiculous.

And I think one of the things I love most about photographing people is finding all those different little parts of somebody.

Because when you stand in front of my camera, I'm not looking for one perfect expression or one version of you that photographs well.

I'm looking for you.

And you don't need to know how to pose. You don't need to know what to do with your hands. You don't even need to feel particularly confident about having your photograph taken.

That's not your job.

Mine is to make you feel comfortable enough that, somewhere along the way, you stop thinking quite so much about being photographed.

We talk. We laugh. I guide you when you need me to. And gradually, all those different bits of you start appearing.

The huge laugh.
The quiet confidence.
The softness.
The strength.

That's the bit I love.

Because I don't just want to create a beautiful photograph of what you look like.

I want to create photographs that somehow feel like you.

And thank you Rebecca Lee … for trusting me to capture all these different sides of you. ❤️

Well, this landed in my reviews this fine Friday afternoon and, quite frankly, it’s made me a little bit emotional. ❤️

“I cannot recommend Jo enough. Not just because she is extremely talented and clearly has an eye for capturing the most beautiful parts of the human soul, but because of the beautiful soul that she herself possesses.”

I mean… how do you respond to that? 🥹

I care so deeply about the people I photograph and about creating something that feels like them. Not just a beautiful photograph, but something that captures a little bit of who they are.

So to have someone recognise that, and then take the time to write these words… well, it got me.

What a lovely way to end a Friday. ❤️

The session is just the beginning.

It's easy to think the photoshoot is the whole point — but really,
it's step one. The real magic happens afterwards, when we sit down together, pick your favourites, and design them into wall art that actually lives in your home.

A gallery on your phone gets scrolled past. A piece on your wall gets looked at every single day.

That's the difference I want for your family.

I’ve just shared a new blog from this beautiful spring maternity shoot in Surrey.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking back through these images reminded me how beautiful this stage is to photograph.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That funny little in-between.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Still waiting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Still carrying them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Still imagining who they might be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We kept the shoot really connected to the season — using the colours that were already there in the landscape, the greens, the blossom and those soft purples coming through.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I’ve also written about the bit I care about more and more now — what happens to the images afterwards.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because for me, it’s not just about having a photoshoot.
It’s about choosing the images that matter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thinking about where they’ll live in your home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And creating something that becomes part of your family story.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The blog is now live if you’d like to have a read.

I installed a large family gallery last week and it reminded me why I care so much about what happens after the photoshoot.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because there’s something very different about seeing the images finished, framed and actually living in the home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It stops being “the shoot” at that point.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It becomes part of the room.
Part of the everyday.
Part of the children’s memory of home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The photographs are no longer hidden away on a screen or waiting for someone to find them again one day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They’re there in the background of family life.
Passed on the way downstairs.
Seen while everyone is rushing out the door.
Noticed in quiet moments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And over time, I think they start to hold even more meaning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That is the bit that really matters to me.

Stan 🤍

It feels impossible to look at him now… and imagine where his story began.

Stan was found in a Serbian pound, in the middle of a pack that had turned on him. He was weak, injured, and simply wasn’t going to survive.

The team at Balkan Underdogs went in to get him out.
But when they arrived… he was gone.

They thought they were too late.
That his story had already ended.

But something told them to go back.

And there he was.

Still holding on.
Still here.

From that moment on, everything changed.

Fast forward to today… and this once-forgotten little soul is living in Surrey, ruling the house in his own wonderfully chaotic way. Equal parts cuddles, snacks, and pure goofiness… and if we’re honest, there isn’t a huge amount going on upstairs. But what he might lack in brains, he more than makes up for in heart.

Because he is, without question, the kindest, sweetest dog we have ever come across.

There’s something very special about a dog who has known the very worst… and still chooses softness. Still chooses love.

We can’t imagine life without you, Stan.

Happy birthday, our beautiful, slightly bonkers boy 🤍

Just a gentle note: the final images show Stan when he was first found in the pound and may feel a little difficult to see. Please only swipe if you feel comfortable.

This is where it begins.

A moment captured…that slowly becomes something more.
Something you walk past every day
Something your children grow up seeing
Something that becomes part of your home

Because the photograph is only ever the start.

It’s what it becomes that matters most.

There’s something really special about capturing children at this stage.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their confidence
Their personality
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The way they see themselves beginning to take shape
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll be opening a small number of spaces for young performer portraits over the coming weeks.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Relaxed, natural and age-appropriate — whether for a portfolio or simply to capture them as they are right now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this feels like something you’d love, just send me a message and I’ll share the details.

Designing with intent.

Before anything is printed, every piece is carefully considered — the space, the light, the scale and how the images will sit within your home.

This is where your photographs begin to take shape as something more than just images.

It’s not just about what we create — it’s about how it lives with you every day.
