Family Photography
What is it that you want to have in your family photo albums to look back on and treasure? Perhaps you want a picture with your kids playing with their grandparents. Maybe it's just the joy of childhood: climbing trees, swinging, having piggyback rides. Maybe it is a photoshoot to capture the season, this time in your lives before the kids grow into the next shoe size and another year speeds past at an alarming rate.
Are you the one always taking the pictures and never in the frame with them? Whatever it is, I am happy to help capture some beautiful moments for you. Sessions can be held outdoors in a park or a location such as the Ashdown Forest, in your home or at another location.
Maternity Photography
Maternity is such a special time. It is truly amazing what the body can do and how it changes to house a little baby (or twins in my case!) and protect it until it is time to make its entrance into the world. A mother's pregnancy glow is truly one of life's beautiful things. I wish I had some nice photographs of me when I was pregnant.
If you're pregnant or know someone who's pregnant and would like to organise a maternity photoshoot, please get in touch: and don't leave it until too late, or it may turn into a newborn shoot instead! This time deserves to be celebrated with some beautiful and relaxed maternity photographs.
A maternity photoshoot can be either in your home or outdoors, or a combination or both.
If you would like both a maternity and newborn shoot, I can arrange a special package for you. I love being able to do a series of photos such as in the nursery preparing for the baby and then with the baby after the baby arrives.
Newborn photography
Lifestyle newborn photography is something that I absolutely love. In the comfort of your own home you and your baby can be relaxed in a familiar environment and I can record moments that you want to capture in time. From snuggles on the couch to a sibling helping to change a nappy, to a first bath. Sessions are unstructured and relaxed so we just go with the flow of the baby. As well as documenting the baby's new arrival, you are documenting life in your family home.
Lifestyle photography focuses on a baby in its natural setting, rather than a studio newborn session where the baby is posed into certain positions to achieve photos with a certain look and may include props and costumes. There is also a very small window of time to get studio shots done where the baby is in the sleepy newborn stage so it can be easily posed. In lifestyle newborn photography, the emphasis is about relationships between the parents, the baby and other siblings. Every session is different. Your newborn photos won't look like the same as anyone else's, and it doesn't matter if the baby is slightly older than newborn, awake, asleep, needing a feed or a nappy change.
