London and Essex based photographer, specialising in relaxed family photography and portraiture in homes up and down the UK.
Working predominantly with children, I capture natural childhood moments and document your little ones as they grow up — so you can gift them their memories, when they’re older.
Picture this
After a three-day labour and emergency C-section – I hope I’ll be forgiven for not being able to capture the initial moments after my son was born.
I grabbed my camera as soon as I could and have been making up for it ever since. First, documenting Parker’s first few hours in the hospital… then his first few days… and then every moment I possibly could thereafter. In fact, I’ve had no less than five professional shoots taken of him in his first year.
Memory is a powerful thing, but nowhere near as powerful as a photograph. Things fade from our minds, no matter how precious they are.
Even after just one year, if it wasn’t for my photographs – I would have forgotten just how vulnerable he was. How helpless he was. Just how wrinkly he actually looked the day he was born. I would have forgotten how tiny his hands looked in mine – or how he styled his rockstar mohawk, before it suddenly abandoned us… and became regular flat hair.
I don’t want to forget anything.
And I’m sure you don’t, either.
Capture it
I specialise in capturing the moments that matter.
I’ve been photographing families for over 10 years, but following the birth of my son, have a completely new perspective on what I want to offer my clients.
Before becoming a Mum, I always preferred the ‘perfect shot’ – posed photographs with babies delicately placed in baskets, children smelling flowers in bluebell fields etc.
As a parent? I quickly realised that the imperfections mattered more than I knew, and what I used to consider ‘imperfect’ shots of my son soon became my favourite photographs. They captured the real situation – the real moment – and showed Parker exactly how he was.
Today, I strive to capture these raw, relaxed photographs for my clients, offering a window into a moment in time – reflecting just how everything truly was.
My ‘real’ photographs of Parker become more valuable to me as time goes on.
When he becomes an adult himself, they’ll become his gift – all of his childhood memories, captured forever, in countless albums, endless frames and prints on the wall… so he can go back there, whenever he likes.
Create a window to their past
I want to gift your children the same thing: their memories.
The sofas they jumped on, the forts they built – the kitchen tops they sat on, the cupboards they hid in… the pets they loved. As time goes on, I want to capture them grow. Their first uniform, their first bike, the measurement marks on the door frame.
I want to photograph their journey, year after year – and tell their story, the way they live it, in the homes they grow up in.
How I work
I work unobtrusively in homes and gardens across the UK, building a portfolio of images of your child in their favourite spaces, that they can then treasure forever.
Producing luxury relaxed family photography, I work with the natural light and decor of your home, snapping the natural moments as they happen.
It’s all about getting to know you and your child, capturing a true-to-life essence in all my photography.
