FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY TO LIFT YOUR HEART.

LET’S FACE IT, FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY CAN BE A LITTLE CHEESY

Thankfully I’m here to shake it up a bit. As a family photographer based in Hertfordshire, I create beautiful pictures from your natural everyday connections and expressions. Re inventing your family photos to leave you with fresh images bursting with character and genuine moments. Personalities leap from my images, not fake smiles.


If that’s what you’re after, then we’re going to be a good match!

“We love our photos so much. You captured everything we wanted so perfectly…

and were so lovely to be around!”

KIND WORDS

“YOU PERFECTLY CAPTURED MY SON’S HAPPY CURIOUS SPIRIT AND NOW WE HAVE THE MOST AMAZING PICTURES OF HIM”

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

FIRSTLY, LET’S CHAT

I want to hear how your family rolls. Who you would like photographed, what your family interests are, is the dog coming? The more I know the easier it is to create a family photography shoot that ticks all your boxes.
I’m really relaxed and open to suggestions, the key is to keep everyone comfortable and happy. I’ll be focusing on your natural connections, the perfectly imperfect. This isn’t a time for standing on ceremony and fake smiles. We’re going to let loose a little, creating pictures that ooze personality and life.
Mainly I shoot on location in Hertfordshire, taking advantage of being surrounded by beautiful countryside and woodland. Similarly we can shoot in a more urban environment, using local industrial settings as our back drop. Anything goes really. And for the home lovers, a family photo shoot there will work too!

“WE HAD THE BEST TIME TAKING OUR FAMILY PHOTOS. YOU SHOWED US A MAGICAL PART OF THE WOODS AND MADE US FEEL TOTALLY AT EASE. WE’RE SO GRATEFUL.”

KIND WORDS

“THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW STUNNING THEY ALL ARE.”

  • FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY THAT CELEBRATES THE REAL
  • PICTURES THAT SHOW THE TRUE ESSENCE OF WHO YOU ARE
  • CAPTURING THE FLEETING MOMENTS OF CHILDHOOD NATURALLY AND WITH SOUL

HOW LONG WILL OUR FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY TAKE?

I’LL ALLOW PLENTY OF TIME TO PLAY

This isn’t “quick, smile at the camera” photography. We’re going to take our time to let things play out naturally. Usually 2 hours is plenty of time for this. Allowing time to breathe helps to put yourself and your family at ease, really ensuring that we get the most from our time together.


I like to shoot freely, letting you and your children interact and play. Ultimately resulting in natural images full of honest, beautiful moments. I often bring along games to encourage play and invite you to bring along anything that you might feel will add to your shoot.

“I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY. YOU MADE US FEEL RELAXED AND THE KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME. THANK YOU FOR THE EXPERIENCE.”
