FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

Based in South West London, with strong ties to West Sussex & Hampshire

WHAT TO EXPECT

Childhood moves quickly. One year they're obsessed with something you'll struggle to remember in five. The way they laugh right now, the way they still reach for your hand without thinking — those things change quietly, without announcement.

THESE ARE THE PHOTOS WORTH TAKING.

I don't put families in front of a camera and ask them to perform. I come with you — a FAVOURITE WALK, a DAY OUT SOMEWHERE YOU LOVE, an ACTIVITY the KIDS ARE GENUINELY EXCITED ABOUT — somewhere that MEANS SOMETHING TO YOUR FAMILY. And then I document what actually happens, because the BEST MOMENTS are almost always the UNSCRIPTED ONES.

When families are doing something they LOVE, they FORGET THE CAMERA EXISTS. The STIFFNESS DISAPPEARS, the FORCED SMILES DISAPPEAR, and what's left is them — PROPERLY THEM. Their PERSONALITY, their ENERGY, the way they INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER when nobody's asking them to stand still and smile. Those are the moments that make the BEST PHOTOGRAPHS — and they simply don't happen against a STUDIO BACKDROP or on a PATCH OF GRASS where everyone is just waiting to be told what to do next.

These shoots are EXPERIENCES TO BE ENJOYED, NOT ENDURED. The shoot itself is A DAY OUT. The photos are just WHAT YOU BRING HOME FROM IT.

What you get back isn't just a set of images — it's a RECORD OF A DAY YOUR FAMILY ACTUALLY LIVED. The kind of PHOTOS THAT GET BETTER WITH TIME, because in ten years you won't just be looking at faces. You'll be looking at WHO YOU WERE, WHAT YOU LOVED, and exactly what THIS CHAPTER OF YOUR LIFE felt like.

BEFORE YOU BOOK ANYONE — READ THIS FIRST

Many family photography packages are priced in TWO PARTS — a SESSION FEE to book the shoot, and then a SEPARATE COST FOR THE IMAGES themselves. It's only once you've seen the photos that the real decisions begin. Which ones can you justify? Which ones do you have to leave behind?

It's a process that QUIETLY PUTS A PRICE ON MOMENTS YOU'VE ALREADY FALLEN FOR.

Some packages include only a SMALL NUMBER OF DIGITAL FILES as standard, with EVERYTHING BEYOND THAT CHARGED AS AN EXTRA. Others don't include ANY DIGITAL IMAGES in the session fee at all. By the time most families have chosen the photos they actually want, the total has moved WELL BEYOND WHAT THEY FIRST EXPECTED TO PAY.

We don't think that's a FAIR WAY TO DO THINGS.

With my packages, EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED FROM THE STARTEVERY EDITED IMAGE, your COMPLETE ONLINE GALLERY, and 50 MILES OF FREE TRAVEL. There is NO SECOND STAGE, NO VIEWING APPOINTMENT, NO CHOOSING between photos of your own family. Just EVERY IMAGE, DELIVERED, YOURS TO KEEP.

 FAQs

  • My style is natural, artistic, and documentary-led — inspired by street photography and the beauty of everyday life. Whether it’s the glow of pregnancy, the chaos of toddlers, or a quiet family moment, I capture your story as it unfolds rather than forcing stiff, posed images.

    Of course, I’ll gently guide you when needed, especially for maternity portraits, but most of the time I want you to simply enjoy being together. The result? Relaxed, timeless images that feel true to you and your family.

  • Yes — both! Many families love the intimacy of at-home maternity photography, where you’re in a space that feels comfortable and personal. Outdoor sessions are also beautiful, especially in natural light, whether that’s a favourite park, woodland, or by the coast.

    We’ll chat about what feels right for you, and I’ll help you choose a location that suits your personality, style, and vision.

  • Absolutely — they’re a huge part of your family’s story. Siblings and even furry friends are welcome in maternity sessions, and I love capturing those interactions. These images become even more meaningful over time, documenting the love and anticipation as your family grows.

  • I always recommend outfits that feel comfortable and reflect who you are. Soft, neutral tones tend to photograph beautifully, but bold colours or textures that feel “you” are always welcome. For maternity, simple dresses or pieces that highlight your bump work wonderfully.

    Ahead of your session, I’ll be available to talk to and we can chat about ideas so you feel confident and relaxed on the day.

  • Yes, but from experience family and maternity sessions usually work best when they are around 2 hours in length. That gives us plenty of time for children (and adults!) to warm up, and ensures we capture a mix of natural moments and more composed portraits without feeling rushed or children becoming bored or restless. Some shoots may require longer duration in order to explore multiple spots within a location or to accommodate outfit changes.

  • I don’t put a strict limit on the number of images delivered or add costs for additional photos. Every package includes unlimited photos, carefully edited by me to reflect my artistic style and your story. On average, families and maternity clients receive 50-100+ fully edited photographs, (depending on duration of the shoot) but I’ll never hold back images that add to your gallery or charge you extortionate amounts for any additional images.

  • No — I personally do not use AI software for editing, and here’s why that matters.

    AI tools are becoming more common in photography, but they can’t capture the subtlety, emotion, and personality that make your images truly unique. Automated editing often produces generic results, misses the context of the moment, and can “correct” creative choices — like a moody wedding shot, a warm family portrait, or a dynamic scene with motion blur — leaving your images feeling flat or lifeless.

    By editing every image myself, I ensure that your photos reflect the real mood, atmosphere, and story of your shoot. My approach preserves the emotion, individuality, and artistry that make each session special.

    In short: your photos deserve more than generic AI corrections. They deserve artistry, care, and a human touch. Choosing a photographer who edits by hand means your gallery is unique, expressive, and full of life — something AI simply can’t replicate.

  • I’m based in South West London, with strong connections to West Sussex and Hampshire. 50 free miles of travel are included with every session, and beyond that it’s just £0.45 per mile. I’m always happy to travel further if you’d like your shoot in a special location. So get in touch and we can discuss.

  • For maternity, I recommend booking between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined but you still feel comfortable moving around. For family sessions, there’s more flexibility — many families book a few months ahead, but I also take last-minute bookings where possible.

    If you have a particular season or location in mind, it’s always best to secure your date early.

  • That’s completely normal! I have plenty of experience working with children (and pets) and I never expect them to sit still or behave perfectly. My documentary style rooted in street photography actually embraces the chaos — I’ll capture those playful, funny, and tender moments in between.

    Sometimes those little in-between glances, cheeky misbehaved moments, hugs, or giggles end up being the favourite photos. So don’t worry about that.

  • It’s simple — use the contact button below to tell me about your family or maternity session ideas. I’ll guide you through the next steps, confirm availability, and outline a package that works best for you.

    Just note, a 25% retainer secures your session, with the balance due closer to the date.
