Family Photography
Why is family photography important? Is it about art and beautiful images for your home? Yes, absolutely – but also – it's about memories.
Memories of childhood are so so important – both to us as parents now, and also to our kids. Did you know that having photos of your children and your family on your walls has actually been shown to increase their sense of belonging and self worth and increase their confidence? How many pictures of your children do you have displayed at home?
Children also love to look back on images that capture you together – that capture the love of their family and their parents. If you really want family photos, don’t wait for the day that you feel slimmer, more attractive, less tired… that’s not what your kids will remember. Honestly. Your kids will remember their loving parents, the fun they had out in the park and how much they loved cuddling you in the grass, getting a piggy back through the lavender fields or clambering over trees in the wood. Exist for your kids – exist now – and in their memories…
Capture these moments in your families life in a creative & artistic way and you will have beautiful portraits and heirloom images that you will want to display and pass down through your families generations.
Pets are very welcome (and an encouraged family member!) as long as you are comortable that they can calmly wait for any shots that they may not be in!

My studio is purpose built and sessions are focused on creating beautiful timeless images without the background distractions that you might get at home. The studio is prepared with either a light and airy lifestyle room, and a fine art backdrop for more timless artistic portraits.
I will guide and direct you and any children into positions or interactions and with beautiful lighting, we will create wonderful timeless images that celebrate you and your family.
Each image will be hand edited to create wonderful images ready for display on your wall, albums as we as of course your digital devices devices.
At Home
Session Fee £199
For families who prefer the comfort of their own space, I also offer home sessions. For these sessions, we focus on creating beautiful, natural images — capturing your family in an authentic asthetic, with all the warmth and love that makes your home special. Images are more reportage in style, but for those who prefer to have images that have a relatable recogisable asthetic, then these are for you.
As we are trying to capture the family unit we would still look to pose you in ways that to the eye offers a visually appealing compositon in terms of use of natural available light, and use of furniture to structure the position of everyone in your famiy group.
Each image will be hand edited to create wonderful images ready for display on your wall, albums as we as of course your digital devices devices.

For families who like the feel of outdoor spaces, this can also be arranged subject to the weather.
Images can be a combination of some natural shots, but also some posed portraits using some of the lovely parks and open spacees in our area.

FAQ
When should i book?
Photographers often prescribe that newborn photoshoots should take place within the first 5 – 14 days of birth to ensure as much as possible that they are still in that sleepy phase to enable hem to be posed and get those lovely peaceful shots. This can definitely be beneficial but with more natural posing styles it is not essential and the photoshoot can tae place when you are ready and feel recovered from the birth.
How do I book a photography session?
Booking a photography session is easy. You can book your session online, and then once you have viewed your gallery, you can select your photo package aftrwards based on your budget and preferred bumber of final images.
Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?
I offer newborn shoots both in my purpose built studio or at your home. The style with each is slightly different with the studio allowing more control over the lighting and what is present in the photos, and the home providing a more reportage based backdrop and authenticity (thoughy I do recommend a declutter and tidy up at if you choose a home based shoot). Each has its own unique beneifts and you can see examples of ecah style of shoot on my website.
How long does a typical photo session last?
The duration of a photo session varies depending on the type and scope of the session. Newborn sessions typically range from 2 - 4 hours and I only book one sessin per day to ensure ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. My priority is quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.
What happens if one of us is unwell?
If you find yourself becoming unwell before your photoshoot I ask that you let me know as far in advance as possible to give me ample time to assss the situation and reschedule if we agree that is the best course of action. As I am working with pregnant women and small babies people's health is my numbr one priority and limiting the spread of infectious illness helps protect me and therefore my clents, including yourself.
