– Information & Approach –
As a lifestyle photographer, my approach is very relaxed. I like to get to know you and your family, so that we can have fun and I can capture the real you! Being a Mum to two little girls, I totally get it, I get what it’s like to be a Mum who wants to savour the little things, those beautiful fleeting moments and maybe to be in the photo yourself (without it being a blurry iPhone image). I am constantly reminding myself that it’s the little things that matter, the seemingly ordinary and sometimes mundane moments of motherhood will be the precious moments we look back on and cherish.
Since becoming a parent, I’m more aware than ever that time certainly flies! (probably where my obsession for taking photographs comes from!) Capture life as it is now, with every crazy twist and turn! There will always feel like a 100 reasons why maybe now isn’t quite the right time, but there’s no time like the present!
Lifestyle sessions can either be at your home or on a location, somewhere that is special to you and you can have fun! We are spoilt for choice in the Dorset area with beautiful beaches and the New Forest! Lifestyle sessions are normally within 10 miles of Bournemouth, but further distances can be considered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long do Newborn Sessions typically last?
A: Newborn sessions normally last between 1-2 hours, to allow time for feeds, changes etc.
Q: When will be able to view our images?
A: I will aim to upload your images to your password protected gallery within 2 weeks of your session.
Q: What do you mean by edited images?
A: The post processing involves the editing and then digitally enhancing through Photoshop such as colour tweaks, cropping and creating black & white images. The end result will be a beautifully curated set of images for you to enjoy for years to come. As an approximate guide a session will include approximately 80 - 100 images on a fab wooden USB. You are free to print these images as many times as you wish.
Q: Can we order any other products after the shoot?
A: Once you have your USB stick of High resolution images, it is so easy now to order prints online or in high street stores, but it's worth mentioning that the quality is not monitored in the same way as in Professional printing labs and your images may not be printed in the quality they deserve. If you would like prints made up after your session, please let me know and I can provide you with a price list. I have a wide variety of framed products and wall art available, so if you have a space in mind that you'd like to fill, please take advantage of my bespoke design service.
Q: Can we have a bespoke package?
A: Absolutely, if you are looking for a tailored session with printed goodies or framed products then please let me know and I can create a bespoke session for you. This is a very popular option with gift certificates.
Q: What happens if it rains and we have a session booked on location?
A: The good old British weather does sometimes mean that we aren't always blessed with lovely sunshine, however, we can still proceed with the session, unless it's raining. In which case I am happy to rearrange for another date, ideally within 2-3 weeks of the initial booking.
Q: I would like to purchase a session for gift, do you have gift vouchers?
A: Yes, absolutely! I have Gift Vouchers that can be tailored to your hearts content. They are beautifully presented in a gift box. You can purchase just the session fee, or add in printed / framed products to the value you wish to gift. My most poular Gift Package is the session fee plus a framed print.
