West Sussex newborn, maternity and family photographer

Photography that feels like home.

Located in the peaceful village of Fishbourne, I welcome families from Chichester, West Sussex, Hampshire and beyond into my thoughtfully curated home studio space - a calm, inviting space designed to capture your most meaningful moments.

From the very first signs of pregnancy to those hazy newborn days, and the beautifully ordinary moments as your children grow - these chapters pass by faster than we ever expect. I’m here to help you slow down, take them in, and preserve them with timeless, heartfelt imagery.

Photography with me isn’t just about showing up and smiling for the camera. It’s about feeling at ease, truly seen, and gently celebrated - whether we’re honouring your changing body during pregnancy, capturing the quiet beauty of your newborn’s first days, or documenting the perfectly imperfect moments of family life as they unfold.

Emotive photography for growing families

Sessions take place in my warm, thoughtfully styled studio-like set up at my home in Chichester - a calm and neutral space designed to keep the focus on you and your family - or out in nature, somewhere that feels meaningful to you, whether that’s a golden field, a woodland path, or a favourite spot by the sea.

From beginning to end, the experience is calm, considered, and personal. With curated styling guidance, a relaxed pace, and a focus on connection, I’ll help you create images that are as beautiful as they are meaningful - memories you’ll be proud to look back on, and proud to display in your home.

If you’re looking for natural, emotive photography that feels honest, personal, and quietly luxurious - you’re in the right place.

Let’s create something truly special, together.
