PORTFOLIO

Hi, I’m a mother and family photographer based in the beautiful Cotswolds, Bristol, and nearby areas. I love capturing those natural, tender moments of parenthood and family life that tell your unique story.

I have over 25 years of experience photographing families, plus more than a decade working in lifestyle photography for fashion and advertising, so altogether, almost 35 years behind the camera.

I’m passionate about creating honest, heartfelt portraits that celebrate your incredible journey. Whether it’s maternity, newborns, toddlers, or kids of any age, I’m all about capturing the love and connection you share with each other.

I love working with natural light and the beauty of nature, whether that’s a quiet woodland, a golden field, or the comfort of your own home, to create timeless images that feel as genuine and alive as your family’s bond.

My photography isn’t about hiding stretch marks or fitting into any mould. It’s about empowering you to own your story and celebrating the real, raw beauty of motherhood and family life.

These portraits aren’t just photos, they’re art pieces and heirlooms that you and your family will treasure for generations to come. When you invest in a session with me, you’re investing in memories that live beyond a moment, they become part of your family’s story and legacy.

You’re creating life. You love unconditionally. You are a miracle, and you deserve to be captured exactly as you are.

Because I pour my heart into every session, I only take a limited number of bookings each year to keep things personal and special. If you’d like to celebrate your family’s journey with natural, authentic photography in the Cotswolds, Bristol, or nearby, please get in touch soon—spaces fill up fast!

Photos to remember by

My sessions are relaxed, playful, and focused on capturing your family just as you are.

I’ll be there to gently guide you throughout, with lots of little tricks up my sleeve to keep things easy, natural, and really lovely.
