FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
HAMPSHIRE, SURREY & BERKSHIRE
Relaxed, authentic family photography for the wild love stories of life
WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT
Families; somewhere between endless joy and endless puzzles to be resolved. Raw, frustrating, courageous, hilarious times rolled into a bundle of love we wouldn’t change for anything.
I create photos that pause time. The funny ones, the candid ones, and the soulful ones. I will create them from the ordinary and the extraordinary moments.
This is about creating joyful, heartfelt, honest photos of your family. I love the wild families, the cosy ones, and the imperfect chaos of it all.
MY STYLE
Relaxed approach; friendly, positive and warm
A cool, calm juggler of all things; as a Mum of three, I have the experience!
Catch all the laughter, hand holds, cuddles and fun
As the sun goes down, create those relaxed, authentic family photos together
Your story is extraordinary
Your photography experience should be too

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
01. What is your Shooting Style ?
Relaxed, natural and fun! My shoots are a perfect time for you and your family to spend quality time together and let me create the memories. You will play games together, connect, relax and enjoy your family time. The sessions are stress free and I get so many people commenting that it was much more fun than they had expected!
02. Why do you photograph at sunset?
This is the most beautiful time of day for photographs. The light is warm, soft and glowy. It brings the extra magic to your gallery and is so worth it. I have a full blog post on this so go check it out.
03. What if it rains?
In the run up to your session, I will be checking the weather forecast. If there is heavy or persistent rain I will make the call and we can arrange a new, convenient date for a reschedule.
03. What if one of us is unwell on the day of the shoot?
No problem! Just let me know and we can reschedule.
03. My children are very shy/ have learning difficulties/ are wild/ might have a tantrum/ etc etc?
As a Mum of three and having photographed hundreds of families, I can promise you I have seen it all. Lets be real, children will have moments where they feel things- as a result they might get upset, they might clam up- all of it is fine. Every personality is welcome and we will make the best of it all to create photos that you will treasure. All I ask is for you to relax and connect with them and let me worry about creating the memories for you!
03. We feel awkward in front of the camera. Any advice?
Rest assured, my style is very natural and we will have lots of fun! We will be doing some walking together, play some games and have lots of fun. Within 10 minutes or so you will feel relaxed and enjoy it!
