Honest and heartfelt family photography for parents who cherish the real moments
You want photos that feel like your family. Full of life, personality, quirks, chaos, tenderness, inside jokes, quiet moments, routines, and rituals. Everything that truly makes your family yours and your photographs should honour all of that.
If you’re craving images that are real and meaningful, rather than staged or stiff, you’re in the right place. You don’t need to force smiles, wear matching outfits, do something you’d not normally do, or create a version of your family that doesn’t actually exist.
You will get genuine stories and authentic memories to remember the gestures, the personalities, the connections, the emotions. The way life felt.
Your children, and future generations, will one day look back at these photographs to understand what life felt like growing up. It’s a gift for your future selves.
You deserve albums full of joy, warmth, imperfection, and truth. Photos that remind you not just what your family looked like, but how deeply you love one another. That’s exactly what I’m here to help you hold onto.

Send me a message and we’ll set up a no-pressure discovery call to make sure we’re the right fit. If you decide to go ahead, you’ll receive a short questionnaire so I can get to know your family a little better. We’ll then have another gentle call to shape a session that truly reflects your routines, relationships, and the memories you want to hold onto. Nothing generic, instead everything tailored to your story.
When I arrive, I put everyone at ease straight away that this will be enjoyable. I’m simply there to witness how wonderful your family already is and create the photographs that show it. Your session will feel relaxed and unhurried, with you living your day just as you normally would.
Within four weeks, your gallery will be ready and presented in a beautiful slideshow set to music. Make a moment of it and sit together, press play, and relive your day. When you’ve taken it all in, you can choose to purchase the collection that feels right for you.
You’ll never get the same feeling looking at your photos on a screen as you will seeing them on your wall or flipping through the pages of an album. With your print credit, you choose how your images live in your home, whether thats on your walls, in albums, or as gifts for the people you love.

Booking a photographer or filmmaker can bring up questions. Here are a few I’m often asked.
There’s no such thing as “doesn’t behave” in my book! Trust me, I’ve seen it all (yes, my own kids have bitten, shouted, and thrown themselves on the floor). I capture real family life and that means all emotions are welcome. Tantrums, tears, grumpiness, they’re all part of normal family life and are beautiful in themselves, and can be great in revealing relationships and personalities.
Because my sessions are documentary, children aren’t being forced into poses or awkward setups, so they’re actually more relaxed and likely to enjoy themselves — and so are you as the parent, knowing you don’t have to make them do anything.
Absolutely! I love multi-generational shoots, and pets are, of course, part of your family too. Everyone who’s important to you is welcome.
Your session can happen anywhere and anytime, depending on what your family does while I’m there. It can be at home, outdoors, or a mix of both. With sessions starting from 3 hours, we usually have time to capture both indoor and outdoor moments.
Absolutely! I’m happy to spend 10 minutes capturing a few traditional portraits alongside your documentary session.
Your home is where your life happens, and it’s a big part of your family’s story. I love photographing families in their own spaces because it’s where you feel comfortable and surrounded by memories and personal items. Small rooms, low light, or everyday clutter are absolutely no problem. For more reasons why at-home sessions are amazing, check out my full article: At-Home Family Photo Session.
I completely understand, being photographed can feel daunting for many people. It’s not unusual for partners to feel shy, awkward, or unsure about being in front of the camera.
With my documentary approach, there’s no posing or performing, so your partner can be themselves with the people they love. That approach truly makes all the difference! So many families I’ve worked with had one reluctant partner, and they are the ones who often end up loving the experience and the results the most.
Documentary family photography fits seamlessly into your real life. No schedule changes, no awkward posing, no forced smiles, and no need for special outfits. You can just be yourselves. The photos capture personalities, relationships, and real emotions, giving your kids a record of life as it really was, surrounded by the people who love them. Images that make you say, “That’s us!”
Plus, these photos let you time travel! Looking back at them will transport you straight to these moments… and who wouldn’t want that superpower?
