I carefully designed my portrait studio to mimic natural light, enabling me to inject the same informality and softness I get shooting outside in nature. My backdrops are all hand painted canvases and in combination with beautiful light, help me create a modern, fashion influenced look that is very much in vogue. I have many years experience photographing babies, children, couples and families and aim to make my studio sessions relaxed, natural, and lots of fun! They last up to 90 minutes, but this is always dictated by the youngest subjects. 30-45 minutes is typical for baby photography, 60 minutes for children/small families and 90 minutes for larger family group photography.

Photographing babies, children and families on location is always great fun! When in their own home, or outside in nature, children and babies do not notice they are being photographed. They act more naturally. The outside space chosen also helps inspire my photography and I encourage clients to pick locations that have meaning to them. This makes for much more personal photography sessions. It could be at home, in a favourite local park, or perhaps somewhere with family connections such as a University college garden. I aim to capture the natural informality of your family life wherever we choose to shoot!
