Your Portrait Experience

 

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.

Why Printed Photographs Matter

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.

“Colour is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.” — Elliott Erwitt

Sometimes, the quietest images speak the loudest.

Stripped back. Soft. Honest.

Why do we close our eyes when we cry, when we kiss, when we dream?

Because the most beautiful things in life aren’t always visible.
They’re felt. Held. Remembered by the heart.

But sometimes, a photograph can bring them back,not just the image, but the feeling.
Of who you were in that moment.
What you were carrying.
What you were becoming.

That’s what I love most about this work.
Not just capturing how you looked, but how it felt to be her.

If you’re ready to remember your moment, not just see it, I’ll be here.

When you’re ready to feel, I’ll be here.

Pregnancy is a strange, sacred in-between.

You’re not who you were.

Not yet who you’ll become.

And this space - the one where your body stretches to hold more than just a baby, but also new versions of you - deserves to be remembered.

Because this won’t last.

Not the exact shape.

Not the closeness.

Not the stillness before everything changes.

This is a moment that won’t return.

But it can still be held.

And that’s what I love most about what I do.

At 44, I’ve finally realised…

The more I see myself, the more I want to

When I took these self-portraits, it felt like peeling back a layer.

Not to become someone else, but to finally meet the version of me that’s been waiting.

The creative blur, the movement, the softness… it all made space.

To explore. 
To play.
To let go.

And in that letting go, I found something I didn’t expect: joy, curiosity. Maybe even tenderness.

We dread photos sometimes, maybe because we’re not used to really looking.

A mirror shows you a flipped reflection.
But a photograph?

It shows you how the world sees you.

And sometimes, you realise… you like her.

If this speaks to you, save it, share it, or just sit with it for a moment.

Let it be your invitation to see yourself, too.

It’s not magic, it’s practice, rhythm, and a little bit of baby whispering. 

After 14+ years photographing newborns, there are a few go-to soothing tricks I use at every session to help babies feel calm, safe, and sleepy.

Here are some of my favourites:

Swaddling for that womb-like comfort.

Gentle side holding or tummy time to ease any tension.

The classic “shhhh”, because sound really matters (apps help too!)

Rocking or soft movement (bonus if you hum)

Sucking for comfort and calm (dummy or feeding)

Ooohh want a bonus one?
A slow stroke on the baby’s forehead. Works like a charm. 

Every baby is different, but these almost always help settle the mood.

Tag a parent who’s in the newborn phase (and could use a little calm today).

She didn’t come to this session unsure.

She already knew me—she’d trusted me with her maternity and newborn sessions. But this time was different.

This time was for her.

She came knowing who she is and ready to celebrate it.

In her 40s, she’s found more confidence, more clarity, and a deeper appreciation for what matters most.

She spoke of embracing self-love, shedding insecurities, and living with humour and presence.

“I decided to do something for me… I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it this much.”

And that’s what this experience is really about.
Not becoming someone else, but returning to yourself.

Playful. Strong. Present. Real.

This is what it looks like to take up space.

To honour your story.

To say: “This is me. And I’m proud of her.”

What would a session just for you look like? What would it feel like to step in front of the lens, just as you are?

If you’ve been thinking about it…this is your sign to say yes to yourself. ✨
