Newborn Photography
Capturing those early days is so precious. Such a hazy time for every newborn parent you will want to look back and remember those little details you forgot during the sleeplessness of those early days.
My style lends itself to quiet, un-posed and natural moments. I will quietly capture your newborn in their familiar surroundings. It can be just mother and baby or the whole family and the dog!
These sessions typically take place within two weeks of birth whilst your baby is still sleepy but are also great for older babies.

Family Photography
Family life can be chaotic and fly by in the blink of an eye. My sessions are about capturing you as your are with the people you love, doing what you always do.
It could be at home making cookies, jumping on the trampoline or stories on the sofa. Or maybe you love the outdoors, so we go to your special spot at the beach, your favourite fishing wharf or a picnic in a dreamy field.
Any idea, any location!

Package 04
Family Film
There are so many things to capture in your everyday life that will be so easily forgotten in just a few short years. It's the cute way they touched your hair, the mispronounced words, their waddle walks and tumbles, jumping on the bed etc. My family film sessions are all about being you, I'll quietly observe in the background whilst you do everyday life with your family. The location can be indoor or outdoor.
My film will be a collection of little stories and moments, perfectly edited to tell your story and transport you back for years to come, most likely becoming one of your most cherished possessions.
Includes:
1-2 hour shoot
2-4 minute film fully edited to licensed music

Package 05
Family Photography + Film
The perfect combination of both still and moving images to tell your whole story. A film can capture the big things, the little things and everything in between.
My family sessions are all about being you and making memories with your loved ones. I'll quietly observe in the background whilst you do everyday life with your family. I will hardly ever ask you to pose or look at the camera. Picking flowers in the garden, tumbling on the bed, reading stories, and collecting shells at the beach are just a few ideas for activities during your session
Any idea, any location, bring your best moods and I'll do the rest!
Includes:
2-3 hour shoot
40+ fully edited images
2-4 minute film fully edited to licensed music

FAQ
How should we dress for our session?
Colour is great but try to keep the tones neutral /earthy and a consistent similar colour palette.
Avoid logos as they can be distracting, the same goes for large patterns - best to avoid.
Most importantly dress for yourself, whatever you feel most comfortable in. Especially if your session is outdoors, you'll be moving around so you'll want to feel comfortable.
If it's an outdoor session, please wear shoes you can easily remove.

What’s the best time to have a session?
Newborn
The best time to book newborn photography are in your baby’s first two weeks, ideally the first 10 days. The younger a baby is, the more relaxed and sleepy they’ll be.
Maternity
Ideally 4-6 weeks before you due date when your bump is big and hopefully its long enough before surprise early arrivals.
Family
Outdoor sessions are great an hour before sunset to get that dreamy golden hour light - it would be slightly earlier for film.
If we are at your home you will most likely know when the light is best but also, and probably most importantly, when you family is happiest.
