Hey!
I'm Carley
Wife, mum of 3 "neurospicy" kids photographer based Hampshire, UK
I’m probably editing in bed, planning my next shoot by the sea, or juggling a hundred ideas at once while telling myself to focus on just one.
I’m a mum of three , Lola, Otis and Joss, and I understand that family life is rarely quiet or predictable. I am someone who all to well that knows that calm does not mean silent, and that some children need movement, patience and a little extra space to feel safe.
I’m the photographer who will never expect your children to perform. The one who follows their lead, notices the small moments and believes the magic usually happens in between.
I’m the wife who is endlessly grateful for a partner who steps in without question and never makes me feel guilty for needing a break.
I overthink. I "try" to plan- but often find the best moments are the ones that happens spontaneously. I dream big. I care deeply. I work hard and sometimes forget to stop.
I’m drawn to soft light, open skies and places that make you breathe a little deeper, my therapy is feeding the sand between my toes and the sun on my face.
I’m a little bit chaotic, a lot optimistic and very good at rolling with it. I can be the steady when things feel overwhelming or playful when the energy needs lifting.
A storyteller at heart, with a deep belief that the ordinary moments are often the ones worth holding onto the most.
A bit about me
Behind The Camera
The Little Details
Ideal day
A spa day followed by really good food. Either a lovely dinner out or a takeaway on the sofa. Both feel equally perfect depending on the week.
tea or coffee?
Can I choose full fat cake instead? I’ll drink tea or coffee if needed, but I prefer my caffeine with an extra helping of sugar. My dentist would rather I didn’t, but i don't really "drink" so this is my vice.
Sunrise or sunset
Sunset. ... Isn't it crazy that both of these things happens every day and yet they still manage to stop me in my tracks. I’ll never understand how something that happens everyday can feel so magical.
Ask me about
My family of five, neurodivergent parenting and why slowing things down matters so much.
Most likely to
Have ten ideas at once, change my plan halfway through and still somehow make it work.
Most proud of
The life we’ve built, the safety my children feel in being themselves, and creating a business that supports our family rather than pulling me away from it.
want to work together?
let's chat
I love to work with pe0ple and brands whose core values align naturally with my family life and the way I live. All my work is created with love, care, intention.
At the heart of it all is storytelling. Creating meaningful, authentic content that feels genuine, considered and true.
If you feel we could be a good fit, I’d love to chat.
