Your memories start here...
If you’re worried your baby won’t settle, your toddler won’t
co-operate, or that you’ll feel awkward in front of the camera, then I am the photographer for you.
 
My name is Em, I am a photographer who understands that life with a newborn (and older children) can be overwhelming, and sometimes the thought of planning a photoshoot can feel daunting. I'm here to take the stress of all that away.
Most families arrive feeling nervous about sleep, about their child's behaviour, about whether anything will “work.”
My role isn’t to control the moment, but to hold space for it.
Sessions with me are slow, baby-led, and pressure-free. There’s time for feeding, cuddling, settling, wandering toddlers, and quiet pauses. Nothing is rushed.
Nothing is forced.
I am the right fit for you,
If you want photos that feel honest, soft, and emotional
You feel baby safety and experience is important
You’re drawn to timeless, neutral images
You value experience just as much as the final pictures
You want someone calm, patient, and experienced with babies and children
You want to feel looked after as well as guided
lets hang out.
The Studio.
The Experience.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel relaxed. A soft welcome, a warm seat, and space to breathe. I’ve spent years refining this studio to be exactly what I wished for as both a mother and a photographer.
Calm, cosy, and deeply considered.
Every corner has a purpose.
Every detail has been chosen with care.
Full access to client wardrobe
A change area is stocked with curated pieces for mums & babies, and is ever growing for dads and kids too.
All ready for you to use, free with every session.
Candid, real, natural photography
Your baby comes first in here.
The lighting is gentle, fully baby led, and there’s room for you to simply be.
No rush, no clock-watching, just time to soak in the beauty of this new season.
This is not just a photography session.
It’s a pause.
A breath.
A chance to feel seen, held, and celebrated.
When you leave, you’ll carry more than photographs.
You’ll carry the memory of a beautiful, slow morning, spent in a place that was made just for you.
I'll share my knowledge if you need it, have an ear to listen, and you can live view all the images on an iPad as I take them.
You have access to a full bathroom with all your needs taken care of.
Full guidance, snacks, coffee & water provided.
I'd love to hang out with you, talk about nothing and everything, please reach out and come have a coffee.

Em is absolutely incredible. I was actually really nervous prior to getting our photos done with our newborn, however Em made the experience so welcoming. She has so much patience and it shows in her photos. We couldn’t be happier with our photos of our beautiful girl. I highly recommend Em if you’re trying to decide on someone to take your newborn photos, 10/10. Thank you Em.

We had the most relaxing time with Em, it was just like catching up with an old friend, like no time had passed and watching her with our baby is something I won't ever forget, the experience, her gentleness & patience, her wealth of knowledge and tips for us as new parents, so grateful. For her and our beautiful photos.
