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.

I struggled while breastfeeding. I was in agony. I was crying. And I felt like I was failing as a mother.
So years later, I wrote this book so you never have to feel the way I felt.
A book for mothers who cried while feeding.
For mothers who cried when they stopped.
For mothers who feel guilty, judged, or alone in their feeding journey.
You’re not alone. Your story matters. And however you feed your baby is enough.
Milk Tales is available on Amazon. Search “Milk Tales” or find the link in my bio. If this book helps even one mother feel less alone, it will have been worth it.

Newborn sessions with siblings, especially toddlers, can be unpredictable.
Some days they are all in. Other days they aren’t. And that’s okay.
This big sister wasn’t very keen on being in the photos. So instead of forcing it, I gave her a different role.
She became my assistant.
She helped me photograph her baby brother and her parents.
Suddenly, she felt special. She was part of the process. And Mum still got the beautiful family photos she wanted.
I find that involving toddlers and giving them a job to do works magic.
It shifts their energy from resistance to collaboration.
Everyone feels seen. Everyone gets their moment.
This is what 15 years of experience looks like. Knowing when to adapt. Knowing how to make it work for every member of the family.
If you’re expecting a second baby and worried about how your toddler will handle a newborn session, don’t be.
We’ll find a way to include them that feels right for everyone.

Through motherhood, we go through job titles quicker than in an entire career
I personally went from
Mamma → Mummy → Mum → Vale…
and now I’m just Bruh or Buddy. 🙈
They grow up fast and one day they won’t even want to be in the photo!
So let’s make the most of these Mummy years!

In a world where photos live on phones and get lost in folders, I still believe in printing.
Not because I’m nostalgic or old (which, by the way, I’m not 😉). But because there’s something irreplaceable about holding a photograph in your hands.
About seeing your story displayed in your home.
About your child one day finding an album and understanding that they were cherished from the very beginning.
Your baby won’t remember the newborn days. Memory fades. But a printed image? It lasts.
It tells your child: You were wanted. You were celebrated. Your story mattered.
I recently wrote a piece for @healthy_parent about the psychological side of seeing family photos displayed at home, how it strengthens a child’s self-esteem and sense of belonging.
Because in a world where everything is AI, fake and filtered, we need more realness.
I create maternity and newborn photographs that are meant to be more than files on a hard drive.
They’re meant to become part of your home, your legacy, your family’s story.
When you invest in printed portraits, you’re not just buying photos, you’re saying yes to legacy.
You’re choosing to preserve love in a way that can be touched, held, and passed down.
That’s what sets my work apart. Not the props or the trends, but the belief that your moments deserve to be honoured, printed, and treasured forever.
If you’ve been wondering whether maternity or newborn photography is worth it, I hope this resonates with you.
Your story deserves to be seen and held.
Because the moments you choose to print today will become the masterpieces your family treasures tomorrow.

This is what happens when you book a newborn session with me.
You come to my studio. Maybe you’re tired. Maybe you’re overwhelmed. Maybe you’re wondering if this is worth it. Maybe all of the above!
You arrive, I welcome you in, offer you tea, and we slow down.
I guide you gently through everything, so you can just be present with your baby.
I capture the tiny details. The yawns. The way your family looks at this new little person. The love that’s already there.
And then picture this! A few weeks later, something arrives at your door.
Not just digital files. Not just photos on a screen.
But a beautiful album, designed for you, ready to hold and show your child one day.
That’s the difference between a photo session and what I create.
It’s not just about capturing moments. It’s about preserving them in a way that lasts.
Your newborn days are fleeting.
But this? This stays forever.

I know what you’re thinking. “I’m not ready.” “I “don’t have anything to wear. “I’ve got phone photos already.”
I hear this often, and I understand. But here’s what I’ve learned after photographing hundreds of pregnancies: the bump photos you almost didn’t take are the ones you’ll wish you had.
Phone photos are lovely for tracking changes.
They’re practical, quick, real.
But maternity photography is different.
It’s not about documenting the bump.
It’s about capturing how this moment feels.
The tenderness. The anticipation. The strength of your body preparing for everything to change.
When you walk into my studio, there’s no pressure to look a certain way or feel a certain way.
We move slowly.
We breathe.
We create something that’s entirely yours.
Simple. Real. Timeless.
These images aren’t meant to live on your phone or hidden in a folder.
They’re meant to be printed, displayed, and one day held by your child as they learn the beginning of their own story.
If you’ve been thinking about a maternity shoot but haven’t taken the step, let this be your sign.
Your future self will thank you.
If you’d like to chat about your maternity session, DM me or click the link in my bio. I’m here to answer any questions and help you feel confident about this.
Your story deserves to be seen.
