At my studio, I offer a bespoke portrait experience tailored to you and your family.
From the moment we meet until your beautiful artwork is delivered and hung in your home, my goal is to ensure you have the best possible experience. I truly enjoy making my clients feel special and cared for every step of the way.
It’s more than just a photoshoot—it’s an opportunity to celebrate your journey and create meaningful heirlooms that will be cherished for years to come.
My Vision: Quality Over Quantity
In a world filled with fleeting digital images, I believe in the profound value of printed photographs. The beauty of a tangible photograph—a stunning framed image on your wall or an exquisitely crafted album—is unmatched. These aren’t just pictures; they are memories that you can see, touch, and feel every day.
Having meaningful photographs displayed in your home can strengthen your sense of belonging and bring joy to your daily life. Studies have shown that children who grow up surrounded by family photos feel more connected and confident. This is why I am dedicated to providing you with more than just images—I’m here to help you create art that tells your story and becomes part of your home.
Investment in Your Legacy
My sessions begin at £290, offering you a bespoke, relaxed experience that leads to timeless heirloom artwork.
After your session, you’ll have the opportunity to select from a curated range of printed pieces designed to complement your home and become cherished family treasures.
I understand that your needs are unique, which is why I offer the flexibility to purchase only what you truly love—without any pressure or hard sales tactics. You will review your images in the comfort of your home, where you can decide how best to display and enjoy them.
Families typically invest between £800 and £2,000 on finished artwork such as custom wall art, handcrafted albums, and matted prints, each one lovingly crafted to celebrate your story.

There is something truly special about seeing your most precious moments displayed in your home.
Unlike digital files that live on your phone or computer, printed images become part of your daily life.
They serve as gentle reminders of the love and joy you share, helping you relive those moments every day.
Whether it’s a gallery wall filled with laughter or an album that tells the story of your growing family, printed photographs are heirlooms that grow in meaning over time.
When you invest in quality, you invest in memories that your children and grandchildren will treasure.
Your journey to creating timeless memories starts here.
Let’s create something beautiful together.

I jumped on a spontaneous live today, because sometimes, why not?
And I had the best reason for it… to talk about Milk Tales. 🙌🏻
This book means the world to me, and sharing it live (even with wobbly nerves and unbrushed hair!) felt right.
So grateful for everyone who tuned in and cheered me on, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If you are interested in the book, the link is in my bio or DM me and I`ll send it to you.

T&Cs:
This giveaway is in no way affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Instagram.
The giveaway will close at 23.59 on Friday 1st August and the winner will be announced via stories on Saturday 2nd.
The winners will be drawn at random from all entries received. No cash alternative will be offered. Entrants need to be over 18 and reside in the UK.
I haven’t been posting much lately, because behind the scenes, I’ve been pouring all my energy into something that truly matters to me.
The book is finally done. Uploaded. Ready.
But this phase? It’s a different kind of work.
Now, I’m reaching out. Emailing, writing, pitching, trying to place this book into hands and platforms that could really help share it.
Because I believe in it.
Not for me, but for the voices within it.
Milk Tales isn’t just a book.
It’s a mirror for mothers who felt unseen.
A space for stories that deserve to be heard.
So no, I’m not “doing it all.” (Also becasue I have my business to run)
But I’m doing what matters, with heart.
🤍
P.S. If you know someone who might want to feature, share, or support this project, I’d love to connect.
After three rounds of printing...
three envelopes opened with hope...
and three quiet disappointments!
I almost didn’t film this one.
But I did.
Because this time, it felt different.
The small tweaks, the colours, the paper,
they’re still not exactly how I envisioned them.
The photo quality isn’t perfect.
But the message they carry? That part is.
And that’s what matters most.
It took four proofs.
Four rounds of edits, questions, and “maybe this isn’t ready.”
Still seen through a critical lens…
but this time, I finally let myself feel it: Pride.
Milk Tales is a book made with love, with stories that deserve to be seen.
And releasing it during World Breastfeeding Week couldn’t feel more right.
✨ Available from the 1st of August.
I can’t wait to share it with you.
