There’s no place like home. It’s the first place that you bring your baby in their first days of life, where you adapt to being new parents and where you watch your child’s first milestones as they grow and change before your eyes.

My lifestyle newborn and family photography aims to capture those early days at home alongside siblings, grandparents and precious fur babies.

What is lifestyle photography?

Lifestyle photography is a relaxed session that takes place at your home. A documentary style of photography that aims to artistically capture natural and candid moments in a familiar place for your family.

Sometimes things don’t quite go to plan with babies and small children and that’s why my extended sessions give you the chance to go with the flow and let the photos unfold in the most natural and relaxed way. With experience photographing hundreds of families over the past decade, you can be assured that I will create the perfect photos of your family.

My sessions are perfect for your toddlers and older children too, and being at home is the ideal setting for your older kids to dash in and out of photos without too much disruption for them. They can return to play and have some snacks while we focus on getting some beautiful photos of you and your new addition.

You can choose to have a few special photos taken for your walls at home or receive a variety of photos to treasure in a keepsake box, photo album or wall art collection. Find a collection that will suit your family here.
