It’s easy to forget about taking family photographs during the whirlwind of those first few weeks after you bring your newborn baby home. However, newborns develop and change so quickly and you wont regret capturing those early, precious times together as a family. I take a relaxed and informal approach to newborn photography, meeting my […]
Sometimes a sharp, corporate headshot in a brightly lit studio is just the ticket. At other times, a more informal, natural image tells a better story. I am often contacted by people looking for a natural portrait of themselves which reflects their personality, profession or a project they are working on. These have included authors, […]
I had so much fun with this lovely family at Stockhill Wood earlier this autumn. With brambles in abundance, the kids quickly got down to the serious business of blackberry picking…and eating of course! Having recently moved into the area they quickly fell in love with this wonderful woodland high up in the Mendips, and […]
A brilliant photoshoot with this lovely family in one of our glorious Somerset forests. There is something magical about the Mendip woodlands which are so green and luxuriant they feel almost like rainforests.

This was a really special photoshoot. Places where we spend time as a child are often etched deep in our memories.

A few images from an extended family photoshoot near Taunton back in the spring. This family had come together from all over the world to celebrate a big birthday. I had so much fun with them and it was lovely to be able to photograph relatives who hadn’t been able to meet up […]
A few images from a recent photoshoot in Wells, Somerset. It was great to meet this young lady who needed some natural headshots for drama school. It’s always refreshing to meet young people making their way in the world, and to hear about their plans and aspirations. We spent a relaxed hour chatting and strolling […]
This is what family photography is about. A celebration of all the things that make a family: the people, their home, their interests, their stories. When we arranged this photoshoot in the depths of winter I knew it was going to be special. We booked it in for May to coincide with two magical events […]
