Memories are the invisible threads that weave the fabric of our lives, and the best way to treasure our memories is with a photograph - a moment frozen in time. It's an opportunity to see again how our children grew up, how warmly grandma looked at our grandchildren, how beautiful and young we and our parents were.

I focus on capturing the realness of your family rather than something polished and perfect. I always try to build a trusting relationship with my clients but on the shoot I try stand back a little bit and let the children lead.

Being a mother of 2 children I know the photos we look back on time and time again are not the most polished but the most honest and real. The real moments outweigh the perfectly posed. The ones that tell our story and the story of our children. The ones that are raw, a little messy and unfiltered.

FAQ’s

  • 35mm film offers a unique aesthetic. There’s something about the grain and the colour that give so much depth, nostalgia and warmth that just can’t be re-created on digital cameras. I also tend to edit the digital images so that they closely resemble the film images too so that the gallery is cohesive. All the images I take on the 35mm film camera will be given to you as well as the 30 images you select.

  • I usually take around 200-250 images within the 1 hour 30 shoot, most of them candid images whilst you are having fun. I also include some slightly posed images too.

  • I will collaborate you prior to the shoot to ensure you are wearing something that you not only feel comfortable in but something that coordinates your personal style with the atmosphere of the shoot.

  • This is entirely up to you, however I can suggest locations if you are not sure.

  • I will create a moodboard prior to the shoot so that we can align the types of poses you would be comfortable with so on location I can gently guide you whilst incorporating lots of movement so it feels effortless and natural.
