If there was one thing I would advise to every new parent out there, it's take the photos.

Capture the stretches, the yawns, the first bath, the middle of the night feeds.

You cannot possibly know now, what they will mean to you in years to come.

It goes by unbelievably fast, and before you know it you are holding their hand, walking them to school for their first day.

The newborn phase is such a whirlwind of sleep deprivation, milk everywhere, clothes changes and shushing, and yet there is so much to savour when you are in the thick of it.

A newborn photoshoot might feel like a luxury at the time, but the photos I have of my children whilst they were at their tiniest are now worth their weight in gold.

When I arrive at your home to photograph your newborn, being a mother of three myself, I feel overwhelmingly grateful that you have gifted this beautiful little time capsule to your future self.

When your little boy chooses this as your birthday gift.

I adored this session, because it was the little boy's idea. After having a spring mini photoshoot with me last year, the boy asked to gift his mum another photoshoot with me for her birthday. And so that is what we did. What a beautiful thing to make happen for your mummy.

This lovely session was taken back in April, when the sunshine began ... and then never stopped!

I've barely posted on social media this summer, as I have been so phenomenally busy with sun-filled sessions. I have so many beautiful sessions to share, and still plenty to edit. With the kids going back to school next week, hopefully I'll have time to catch my breath now! Thank you to everyone that has joined me for lots of sunset adventures xx

Get your whole beautiful family together to create memories, not photographs.

My photoshoots are an adventure, not something to endure.

Long after the session, the children are more likely to remember the fun they had, while the parents are left with images that sparkle with personality from that lovely afternoon.

Not stuffy. Not staged. Just relaxed photoshoots that let the magic happen.

Thank you so much to this lovely family for letting me share a few faves from their session x

Photoshoots that focus on play, not posing.

Time to be a big kid again 🙌

Bonnie & Skye, the sweetest girls. A favourite from their recent shoot.

How lucky I am to have photographed them many times over the years. I can't wait to see them again every time their lovely owner books me.

They have such different personalities, it is a joy to capture their different types of adventure, mischief and love towards their owner.

I always leave with paw prints all over my legs and many, many dog kisses!

Extended family photoshoots, made light-hearted and a little bit silly :-)

Everyone worries that large family photoshoots will be staged, awkward, and a little bit of a chore.

My photoshoots couldn't be more different.

We explore beautiful places together. I take group photos like lightning so that the kids don't get bored. And then I incorporate LOTS of play and fun.

Lots of giggles. Grandparents skipping. Children carrying adults (!) And some beautiful memories to boot.

Your first born, who made you a mum in the first place.

On your maternity photohoot, they will absolutely be celebrated too. I love including them in the shoot, as they get caught up in all the excitement of waiting to meet the new little family member.

As your heart and family grows, your first born is standing on the cusp of a whole new chapter too. These are precious days before they get promoted to big brother or sister - make sure you capture it.

A dreamy summer session at St Brelade's Bay, that felt like we were in the Mediterranean!

Gorgeous connection and fun between this lovely family on their photoshoot.

Maternity photoshoot styling, made easy-peasy for you. The second of my two vintage-inspired maternity dresses, now available to my clients.

This dress is worn by the lovely Nyah on her photoshoot, and is ‘sage’ colour. I’ve spent hours finding the perfect dresses that I know will photograph beautifully, are the most gorgeous quality, and will make you feel amazing.

It looks beautiful at both the beach and amongst trees and flowers, so it’s really versatile. And it also turns out it's pretty good for sprinting in ... which we did to catch the sun as it was sinking at the beach!

I am falling more and more in love with nature-infused maternity photography and styling. Perhaps I am going to need to buy more ... ;-)

It's that time of year again where kids just launch themselves into the sea at the end of their photoshoot, and although it is never expected, it makes for the most wonderful photos when it does happen.

One of my favourite things about photographing children, is how uninhibited they are. Her mummy was pretty sure she wouldn't go in, as it was getting dark and the wind was whipping up a bit. But then this happened - sweet mischief! Beautiful.
