When you’re researching newborn photographers, it’s so easy to end up with ten browser tabs open, all showing different prices, and absolutely no idea what any of them actually mean. £400 here. £900 there. £1500 somewhere else. What’s the difference? What do you actually get? Is one of them just better fizz at the reveal […]

Okay, I need to ask you something, and I want you to actually think about it rather than just nodding. When was the last time you looked – properly looked – at a photo from your baby’s first year? Not scrolled past it while you were looking for something else on your phone (we’ve all […]

You’re pregnant, or you’ve just had your baby, and money is tighter than it’s ever been. There’s a car seat to buy, a million tiny vests, nappies that seem to vanish faster than you can replace them.

There is something almost unfairly beautiful about a golden hour maternity shoot. The warm light. The open countryside. The way the sun drops low and turns everything, the fields, the trees, and yes, your bump, completely golden. If you’ve been scrolling through maternity photography on Instagram and found yourself stopping every time one of those […]

If you’ve spent any time looking for a newborn photographer, you might have noticed something a little different about how I work. I only ever photograph one family per day. Not two.
