Hello from Sardinia on my 51st birthday!

In case anyone was wondering why this page has been quiet of late, I am on a long awaited trip around Europe with my husband Richard and son Toby ( who just pulled funny faces for this photo!) We are halfway through our trip and enjoying the warmth :)

If you are wanting to make a booking I have availability from August - just message me 🙂

Ciao!
Jo

And because I’m on holiday time I’m posting this a couple of days late!

Every stage of childhood holds its own kind of magic ✨

The missing teeth, the big personalities, the shy smiles, the growing independence… these are the moments that become priceless with time.

Photographing children is never about perfect behaviour, it’s about capturing who they truly are in this season of life.

Bookings are now open from late August onwards 🤍
