Family life is beautifully messy...
Family life is beautifully messy – and that’s exactly how I love to capture it. I’m not about perfectly posed, everyone-looking-at-the-camera shots (though we can sneak in one or two for Nan!). Instead, I focus on the real stuff – the giggles, the bear hugs, the little hand-holds, and even the chaos.
Whether we’re out exploring the Yorkshire countryside, playing in the park, or tucked up in my cosy Penistone studio, I’ll help you relax and just be yourselves. No forced smiles, no “say cheese,” just natural moments that feel like you.
I’m calm, patient, and used to working with little ones (and grown-ups!) who might need a bit of time to warm up. I’ll guide you enough so you feel comfortable, but mostly I’ll let the magic happen naturally.
At the end of your session, you’ll have a collection of photos that tell your family’s story exactly as it is right now – the love, the laughter, and everything in between.
Family FAQs
How should we dress?
Neutral is always the best way to go for that classic look, however if you love colour then don't be afraid to go for it! The main thing is that you are comfortable as then we will get the best photos possible.
Can we include Pets in our session?
Absolutely! I am a dog lover, so always happy to include the additional member. I have even taken photos of some Guinea Pigs, so nothing is off the table!
How do you keep little ones engaged during the shoot?
I have worked with children in previous roles and I am fully comfortable working with them. I start by letting them relax into me, I ask about them and talk to you about their likes and dislikes, it doesnt take long for them to warm up.
I also use games as a fun way to get them to engage and basically make it as fun as possible, even if it means chasing me around!
Say hello.
Let's work together.
