Yesterday afternoon on a cloudy October day I decided to pay a little impromptu visit to Sunnyfields Pumpkin Farm near Totton, just outside Southampton, Hampshire.  With my boys and my sister in toe we ‘wellied up’ ( is that even a word? ) and headed to check out what was going on at the Pumpkin […]

Maternity photographs are one of those things that many choose to have and those who don’t regret not having. I’m firmly in the regret camp. I only have a few selfies of me pregnant with all three of my children. It’s almost been enough to convince me to have baby number four… But then I […]

[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] When is a Newborn Baby not a Newborn baby?

Many moons ago the only newborn photography option only included putting a baby […]

Sunsets, all year round? Really! Sunset family photos have increased in popularity so much in the last 5 years. Gone are the days of stuffy studios, pristine white backdrops and a cheesy, forced smiles. There is nothing about these family photos which speaks to my heart as an artist or a mother.  Sunset family photos […]

There is nothing I love more than capturing a family enjoying themselves ,especially a during on of my favourites types of sessions. A Relaxed Sunset Family Photo shoot. My whole approach to outdoor family photography is to capture joy, emotion, and connection. Without those three fundamental aspects a photograph has no life. There is nothing […]

Photos After Lockdown It’s been a long time coming. Four long months without picking up my camera capturing family photos , well, taking photos of someone other than my children that is. I’d forgotten just how much I relied on my work to bring me happiness, ground me, and help maintain an good mental health. […]

Lockdown thoughts Over the last few months we’ve all had more time than we’d have liked to think about things. Much more than maybe we would’ve had before 2020. I’d like to think I’m a semi-positive person, it’s not the way I have always been though. It’s has taken me most of my 34 years […]

When I agreed to take these family pictures, I knew that it would be one of the most incredible sessions I’ve ever photographed. Sunset on the beach, beautiful family, looking incredible, all relaxing and enjoying one another. And let’s not forget lots of laughter. Oh, and did I mention I was photographing one of my […]

I’ve been contacted so many times over the years by parents who had a baby a few months ago. At the time felt that they didn’t need to document that time. This may have been for one of the many reasons including; sleep deprivation, feeling that they’d already captured so much in the photos on the phone, or just feeling totally overwhelmed by having […]

So, you’ve decided to take the plunge and book a relaxed family photography session with me. Now you’re trying to decide what type of session that would work for you and your family?   I know it can feel overwhelming when you look at all the options available to you, but I hope to be able to give you some really […]
