When I’m not behind the lens you’ll either find me with a strong cup of tea, curled up by the fire with the boys. Or, beanie on, traipsing through the forest, throwing pooh sticks down by the river, and planning our next camping weekend away, preferably near the coast. I’m just as much a home bird as an adventurer, but I think there’s something beautiful about enjoying both.

Ever since I became a mother, I’ve been looking for ways to freeze time. I remember first thinking this while feeling little kicks in my tummy as I lay in bed, then those hazy, early months of milk-drunk snuggles, or when he looks up at me and I know I’m all he needs. The indescribable knowing of just being enough. These are the moments ingrained in my memory and this is what I want to give you through photography – a captured second that represents the purity of that love. It’s my way of freezing time.

My sessions are a safe space for your family to relax and just be yourselves. They can be in the comfort of your own home, in a studio based in Nottingham, or in the wild, whatever your vision is, my goal is to make it happen. While in your bubble, I’ll catch the tiny moments we love but often miss. The stroke of a little hand on your face, fingers twirling in your hair, the big smiles as your baby looks up at the world. My calling is to show your connection.
