Bristol maternity & family photographer

Empowering maternity, family & wedding photography for people who want to feel confident and seen

Pregnancy, family life and the milestones that shape us deserve to be photographed with intention and care. My approach is calm, confidence led and deeply personal, creating images that feel powerful, elegant and genuinely you. Whether you are stepping into motherhood, updating your family portraits or marking a meaningful chapter, I will guide you gently so you feel comfortable, seen and truly beautiful in front of the camera.

Why book a photo session with me

You might love the idea of professional photos, but feel unsure about the process. Getting everyone ready, worrying about how children will behave, or knowing what to do with the images afterwards can feel like too much.

That is completely normal. My sessions are designed to be calm, relaxed and straightforward. I guide you gently throughout and take care of everything, from the session itself to helping you choose photographs you will genuinely love having in your home.

Some chapters pass more quickly than we expect. Pregnancy, early family life, the small moments that quietly shape everything else. You may have hundreds of photos on your phone, but they rarely show how this season truly feels.

A professional session gives you the chance to pause, slow down and capture this time in a way that feels meaningful and lasting. Whether you are expecting a baby or photographing your family as they are right now, my approach is led by connection rather than perfection.

The result is honest, timeless photographs that feel like you, belong on your walls, and will still matter years from now.

Think about how often money is spent on things that are quickly forgotten. Small purchases, busy days, moments that pass without much thought.

Photography is different.

It is an investment in memories that do not fade, moments you will come back to again and again.

Time moves on whether we notice it or not. Choosing to capture this chapter means those moments are not lost, but held onto, remembered and shared for years to come.

Here’s what you’ll get when you book your session with me:

  • A pre-session consultation to plan everything together, from outfits to the setting that will suit you best

  • A relaxed, guided photoshoot focused on connection rather than forced posing

  • Gentle direction throughout, so you never need to worry about what to do

  • A personalised gallery of carefully edited images to view about a week after your session

  • The option to invest in high-quality prints, wall art and albums designed to last for generations

  • An experienced photographer who genuinely cares about her work and takes pride in every image she creates

Photography that captures real people, real connection, and the moments that matter most.
