Look what arrived today 🥹🎂

I've had these little personalised cake toppers made for some upcoming cake smashes and I LOVE them.

I just thought it would be such a lovely little thing for your baby's first birthday session — their name, their age and a little reminder of the day that you can pop into their memory box afterwards. 🤍

It's only a tiny detail, but I think it's the tiny details that make things special.

One day they'll be 18 and you'll be wondering where on earth the years went… and hopefully you'll still have this little topper tucked away with all those other bits and pieces you couldn't bear to throw away. 🥹

I've only had three arrive so far, but obviously I had to show you because I'm far too excited about them 😂

Can't wait to see them sitting proudly on some very messy birthday cakes! 🎂🤍

You know those Christmas photos you swear you're going to get done every year… and then suddenly it's December 20th?

This is another little reminder 😂

It’s always the little things. 🤍

Tiny fingers wrapped around Dad’s, soft little details and all those beautiful neutral tones.

The kind of photographs you might not realise you need until you look back years later and remember just how tiny they really were.

Those little hands. That tiny grip. Dad’s finger disappearing into the palm of a newborn hand.

The details really do tell the whole story. 🤍

Those eyes. 🥹🤍

Little man looking straight down the lens, completely owning his Huck Finn moment in that gorgeous sage green.

There’s something about a photograph like this — simple, quiet and completely captivating.

And those HUGE eyes… I mean, come on. 😍

A little bit of everything 🤍

One beautiful posed photo for the wall… and then the two that show the natural tenderness of newborn life a little more

I love a family gallery with a mixture of the two — those lovely, timeless portraits alongside the cuddles and little moments that happen naturally.

And can we appreciate the colour choices? Mum in green, Dad in blue 💚💙 Such a lovely combination against a simple, natural setting.

Family photos don't need to feel like hard work. Just come as you are, relax and let me do the rest. 🤍

Back to school, but make it teenage style. 😂

A lovely session with these two — because apparently getting photos of teenagers who actually want to be photographed is a bit of a win!

A brother and sister, plenty of smiles, a few laughs and just them being them.

They’re growing up far too quickly, and I think these are the photos Mum and Dad will treasure more and more as the years go by. 🤍

Soft creams, warm neutrals, tiny details and all those little newborn features that you somehow already know you’ll want to remember forever.

No need for anything overly complicated. Just your baby, beautifully lit, cuddled up and completely themselves.

These are the photographs that take you right back to those first few weeks — the sleepy cuddles, the tiny fingers, the little faces and just how impossibly small they were. 🤍

Natural, timeless newborn photography, with a lovely relaxed feel.

✨ Newborn sessions available at my Cannock studio.

Back to school… and somehow we made it! 😂🎒

Normality is officially returning!

Before the chaos of “Where’s my shoe?” “I can’t find my bag!” and “Muuuuum, I need a drink!” begins… I managed to grab a few photos of my girls this morning ❤️

Because obviously, when you’re a photographer, you can’t let a milestone pass without taking at least a few shots! 📸😂

They’ve grown so much, and I’m very aware that these ordinary little moments are the ones I’ll treasure the most.

Right… time to do the school pickup. Wish me luck! 😂🙈

And here's the thing…

Christmas photos aren't really about Christmas.

They're about this Christmas.

This age.
These little faces.
Those missing teeth.
Those chubby cheeks.
The way they still get ridiculously excited about the tree.
The way they believe in the magic.

Because next Christmas, they'll be a whole year older.

So if you've been meaning to book, now is a really good time to get it ticked off your list. 🎄❤️

I'd absolutely love to see you in the studio this Christmas.
