For Photographers
Are you interested in learning more about simple and timeless newborn photography?
If you are ready to follow your dream and transform your passion into your business, I can help you by teaching and guiding you on this amazing journey.
I will hold your hand and empower you to achieve your goals and dream.
I've been in business for over a decade. I grew my business and my daughter together and I wanted to do them both successfully.
But it was a long journey, not always easy, actually full of trials, errors and cries. Yes, I thought about quitting a few times, but thank god my passion was stronger than my fears and I never did.
The quickest way to get you started is by learning from someone who has been there. Someone who has a business you would like to have. Someone who is a few steps ahead of you.
I can certainly help you fast-track your journey.
There are a couple of ways we can work together.
Power Hour | £150
Being a baby photographer is the best job in the world, but it can be overwhelming and lonely. This type of session is perfect if you are already in business, are stuck somewhere and want a little help. You will get:
One-hour video call
2 topics to focus on and discuss
email me before the call to find out what you need so I can better help and make the most of your time
Here are some areas I could help you with:
portfolio reviews
building your brand
finding your style
client communications and workflows
marketing
natural lighting
shooting workflow
working with fussy or awake babies
camera angles and composition
contract, invoicing, business
These are just some suggestions if you have any others you don't see here just let me know.
I know 1 hour is not a lot but if something is stopping you right now, it might be what you need to regain confidence in yourself and walk away with some simple steps to take to make it happen.
1-1 Mentoring in Person | £799
Practical Workshop Day.
This is perfect if you are just starting out and need to see how a session is done.
You will come to my Twickenham studio and I will walk you through a newborn session from start to finish. You will learn in a day what I did in 10 years so you can fast-track your journey.
You will have the chance to see how I pose and handle the baby and you will be able to take images for your own portfolio and social media usage.
I will cover all the basics of newborn photography from camera settings to camera angles and more. My style is simple and minimalist but once you know the basics you can apply it to any style you prefer.
You will get lunch and snacks.
We will discuss editing and business and I will answer all your questions.
£199 (non-refundable) deposit is required to book. The remaining balance is due the day before the workshop.
3-month-program | £1100
This is the best investment you could make in yourself as not only will you learn about newborn photography but you will also have someone there for you when you need it.
It will include 2 calls and will cover :
Mindset and Finding Your Style

Newborn basics
(lighting, camera setting, manual shooting, white balance, camera angles, baby safety, composition and planning)

We often think of kindness as something we give to others, but it also lives quietly in the spaces between us, in patience, in listening, in how we see one another.
Every time I photograph someone, I’m reminded how powerful kindness can be.
A gentle word, a reassuring smile, or simply making someone feel seen can change the whole energy of a moment.
This World Kindness Day, let’s remember that kindness doesn’t have to be loud or grand. Sometimes it’s in the way we speak to ourselves. Sometimes it’s in the way we see another person, really see them.
Be gentle, with yourself and with others. It matters more than you know.

In a world where so much feels filtered, polished, or even AI-generated, I just want to be real.
▪️I still get nervous before shoots, even after hundreds of sessions. Every client is different, and that matters to me.
▪️I might do a small dance (or throw my arms in the air) when you book a session, because it means you’ve chosen me to tell your story.
▪️I can feel really low when bookings slow down, and yes, I get anxious when the inbox is quiet.
▪️Most days, I edit in joggers, wrapped in a blanket, with chocolate or biscuits within reach.
▪️If you don’t reply after a session, I do worry. We’ve shared such a special connection, and when I don’t hear back, my brain instantly assumes something’s wrong.
▪️I pour everything into every session so you can have the best experience possible. I feel exhausted afterwards but I know you leave feeling amazing.
▪️And yes, I’ll admit, it stings a little when you share your photos without tagging me. Because every image has a piece of my heart in it.
Photography is emotional, messy, and sometimes exhausting but it’s also so magic and rewarding.
What’s your truth? I know I’m not the only one who feels like this. Can any fellow mums or business owners relate?

You won’t find props or baskets here, just softness, light, and connection.
I believe your baby is already enough, exactly as they are.
Every sigh, stretch, and tiny breath tells the story of who they’re becoming and who you already are.
If that’s the kind of session you’ve been searching for, let’s chat.
We’re definitely speaking the same language.

Telling stories through the tiniest details, because sometimes, the smallest things make the memory feel even bigger.
Every curve, every eyelash, every line on their tiny hands, these are the moments you’ll want to remember.
I love taking macro shots during my newborn shoots.
They’re the parts you don’t always see, but feel the most.
The things your phone can’t quite hold. They’re what make an image breathe… and feel alive.
What’s your favourite newborn detail?
Mine are the lips, the curves and little volumes that are just so kissable.

Sometimes, the mirror doesn’t tell the full story, but a photograph can.
It’s not about changing how you look.
It’s about seeing yourself differently.
Every woman deserves to feel seen, not for who the world expects her to be, but for who she truly is.

“Your motherhood will outlive you and live inside your children forever.”
This quote stopped me.
It made me think about how everything we are, our words, our moods, our love, stays with them long after the moment has passed.
Just like a photograph, motherhood captures fragments of who we are and preserves them in our children.
So if our love is the legacy we leave behind, maybe caring for ourselves is part of that legacy too.
When we’re gentle with ourselves, we teach them to do the same.
That’s how the best parts of us live on. Tag a mum who need to hear this.
