📸 TUESDAY — BEHIND THE LENS 🤍

So… why did I start photography?

It actually started over 10 years ago, completely by accident. 🥹

I was on maternity leave after having my little boy and had just left the childcare industry. I took a photograph for his christening, had it printed onto a huge canvas and my husband said…(I might share this with you soon!)

“Why don’t you do photography?” 📸

And that little comment started everything. 🤍
I slowly bought equipment, taught myself, practised and started trying to build a little business of my own.

Every job I’ve had has involved working with children and families, and photography gave me another way to do that.

Capturing the cuddles, the laughs, the tiny details and those moments you don't realise will mean so much until years later. 🥹

And one of the BEST bits? Seeing someone's reaction when I send their photographs. ❤️

Over 10 years later, after breaks, babies, different careers and a lot of life in between… here I am building it again as The Family Haven Photography. 🌿📸

And it all started with one photograph and one little comment from my husband. 🤍

If you’re still here, please give this post a little like! And if I’ve photographed you or your family over the years, say hello in the comments🥹

📸 MONDAY MEMORY 🤍

Some photos are technically perfect… and some just mean everything. 🥹

So for today’s Monday Memory, I want to know…

What’s one of your favourite photographs you’ve EVER taken? 📷

It doesn’t have to be professional or perfectly posed — just a photo that makes you smile every time you see it. 🤍

👇 Pop yours in the comments and tell me the story behind it!

I’ll share one of mine too… 🌿📸

🤍 Another little update here at The Family Haven Photography…

If you've been here from the start, you'll know that photography is something I'm incredibly passionate about, and that isn't changing! 📸❤️

But following my midwifery degree I've had the urge to build something a little bigger and that's where The Family Haven began. Alongside my photography, I've got lots of ideas around helping families throughout their pregnancy and parenting journey.

Rather than filling this page with lots of different types of content and letting my photography get lost amongst it, I've decided to create a separate page for The Family Haven Support. 🌿

Over thereI will be sharing:
🤰 Pregnancy & birth education
👶 Postnatal & baby information
👨‍🍼 Dads & partners' support
🍼 Breastfeeding
🫶 Advocacy & perinatal wellbeing
🎓 Student midwife support
🤍 My journey towards offering doula support
🌸 And eventually antenatal, postnatal and community support

This page will remain all about photography. 📸

Family shoots, newborns, christenings, weddings, behind the scenes, beautiful memories and all the things you've followed me for. ❤️

So if pregnancy, birth, babies or parenting are part of your world — I'd love you to come and join me over there too.

👉 Follow The Family Haven Support:

Two pages, two purposes, one Family Haven. 🤍

Thank you for continuing to support me while I build this little dream. 🌿📸

A little corner of support for growing families 🌿
🤰🏼 Pregnancy & birth
👶 Postnatal support
👨‍🍼 Dads & partners |🎓 Student midwives
🫶🏼Advocacy & wellbeing
🌸Anetnatal, Postnatal, Doula & Community support coming soon.

🐾 Happy International Dog Day! 🐾

Today is all about celebrating our four-legged family members — because let's face it, they're not just pets, they're part of the family. ❤️

I absolutely loved capturing these two together on a recent location shoot. There’s something so special about photographing the bond between a child and their best furry friend 🐶🥰

The cuddles, the muddy paws, the running around and all those little moments you want to remember forever. 📸❤️

If your dog is part of your family, why not include them in your next family shoot? 🐾

Drop a picture of your dog below! 🐶❤️

Happy Wedding Anniversary to us! ❤️🥂

Today, we're celebrating another year of marriage, so it felt only right to share a little moment of our own. ❤️

Being behind the camera so often, I know just how important it is to capture the people and moments we love. The photos might not always be perfect, but one day they're the memories we look back on and treasure most.

So today, I'm celebrating my husband, our journey, the memories we've made and all the moments still to come. ❤️

Happy Anniversary to us 🥂📸❤️

🤍 A little update from The Family Haven

We’re currently away in Edinburgh with the family enjoying the Fringe Festival. 🎭

It’s been a very bittersweet trip for us. The trip was originally planned for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, who used to come every year together and this year they had booked a place to bring my little boy for the first time.

Sadly, my mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly before the trip. 💔

We knew she’d still want them to come, so we came together as a family and have made some special memories — although the last couple of days have understandably been difficult.

These photos are from the beach where my they used to walk together. They were best friends and simply loved being together, no matter what they were doing. ❤️

We miss her deeply every day.

We’re home tomorrow and I’ll be catching up with messages then. Thank you for your patience. 🤍

Wedding photography 📸

I just wanted to mention that I absolutely love photographing smaller, intimate weddings 🫶

Not everyone wants full-day coverage or a huge wedding package, which is why I also offer:
✨ Smaller wedding packages
✨ Budget-friendly options
✨ Part-day coverage for those special key moments

So whether you’re planning a quiet ceremony, registry office wedding, or just want a photographer for part of your day, feel free to message me 📸🤍

Please feel free to like, comment & share ✨
