Growing up in pictures...


Why choose a family photoshoot?


My girls are teenagers now and I can tell you this one fact that has really hit me recently. Each chapter is quick! You feel like it stretches ahead but, at the risk of sounding cliched, things change and when they start secondary school everything seems to accelerate.


Document each chapter. Document your parents and your children. Get yourself in the photos. These times are so precious and if you leave it even 6 months you will have missed a chapter. Family photographs are a gift to your children for many, many years to come. Family photographs are one investment you can make where the value appreciates with time - truly more valuable each passing year.


Finally, these photographs are about more than capturing the memory of a moment. They are about the memory of a feeling, a way of being together. They are a way to catch the love and the joy and hold it in your hands.

"The whole shoot felt natural and fun, like hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera. Our gallery was everything we hoped for and more."

Where I work...


I live in Andover, Hampshire. I have family in North Cornwall and I also have a van (which seems to take me to Cornwall very often!!)


I work outdoors and or in your home - the places you feel most relaxed and at peace.


The beach is the best!! I am very happy to come down to the Dorset coast for your photoshoot if you are Hampshire based, and my diary will be open for several weekends a year in North Cornwall - let me know if you want to be on the waitlist for these special, limited offer, weekends.

A photoshoot with me is a photoshoot for families who value growth over perfection and want to pass on this core value to their little people

Celebrations


& extended family gatherings


The big birthdays, big anniversaries, the moments you are all together for the first time in years... Cousins, Grandparents, Siblings, EVERYBODY... These moments sometimes deserve something special to preserve the occasion.


My two hour package gives you the perfect opportunity for some relaxed group shots without the pressure. Let the kids be kids and give everybody time to get used to the camera. There is often the opportunity for a variety of smaller family groups as well as the shot you were hoping for of all of you. This package also works well for parties. Get in touch for my brochure with all the information.
