What We Do

A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever

Maternity

Pregnancy is such an amazing stage of a woman’s life, isn’t it? After all, you’re growing a baby! As a Mum of two boys, I remember all too well how pregnancy feels. And it’s not all glowing skin and feelings of joy and wonderment. Sometimes it’s just downright uncomfortable! It’s still your incredible journey into motherhood and it deserves to be documented, so one day, you can share these memories with your child. Are you ready to document your journey to motherhood? 

Newborn

The first few weeks with a newborn baby pass by in a blur. If you’ve already had a baby, you’ll understand this well! If you’re an expectant mum, you’ll soon discover a newborn has the incredible power to make time vanish! As a Mum of two boys, I remember the first few weeks whizzing by in a blissful bubble of midnight feeds, cuddles, and sleepless nights. I remember those precious moments, in the still of night, when our tiny son would fall asleep on my chest while my husband slept soundly beside me.

Family

I love the significance of the family photograph. Each day as my boys walk past their photos hanging on our wall, they’re reminded of how they’ve grown. My boys, once so little and cute are now young men, well on their way to adulthood. Our family photos tell our story, our triumphs and struggles and how much we’ve all evolved. Photos are a reminder of our last family holiday in Wales, right before my oldest son transformed into a young man. Our family photos evoke a sense of pride, sentimentality and belonging, especially for my boys.

Couples

How many photos are displayed in your home? I have so many photos around my home, both recent photos and old ones. And I often catch my boys looking at them, particularly the old photos. The ones of me and their Dad, when we were younger, new in our relationship and before the boys arrived. The boys study our photographs and see themselves in our faces. The boys share their Dad’s brown eyes and dark hair, yet they look just like me. And they get such a thrill flipping through our old photo album and seeing us at the beginning of our story. 

Wedding

Your wedding is a unique celebration! The images captured will take you back, with photographic reminders of the day you and your partner made the very special commitment of marriage, surrounded by the love of all your favourite people. I will capture the love, happiness, excitement and tears…you will remember just how you felt in those moments, that were, your amazing day. From start to completion, I am the photographer, studio manager, designer and editor and I truly care about your wedding.
