dOCUMENTARY, informal and fun family photos

Like most people my first experiences of photography came from flicking through boxes of family photographs. Seeing younger versions of my parents (always hilarious) and aunts and uncles captured, in that moment, forever. As I grew up my love of photography came from taking pictures of my family. The photos were nothing special, none of them were posed. But they are treasured. Simple snapshots of my family being their wonderful, often messy and chaotic selves. The everyday moments that make up our lives. It’s that feeling, that emotion and nostalgia I bring to my photography today. 


I’m guessing you’ve got a phone packed full with photos of your little ones. There’s one thing missing though… you! Your loved ones want to see you in the photographs and that’s where I come in. I document the everyday. Those moments of family life that make up your ‘normal’. The fleeting moments that make us smile, laugh and even cry in frustration (oh hey 2 year old, I’m talking to you there!)  

I photograph you and your family just as you are. At home getting messy with paints and play dough. Running around your garden. Playing in the park and stomping in puddles. It’s you doing you and me capturing it all. Remember, get those pets involved too! I’m not just a cat fan, I love gerbils, rabbits, dogs, guinea pigs... I probably draw the line at pet tarantulas though! I can just about cope with Incy.

All of your real moments, breakfast right through to bedtime stories with all the triumphs (and occasional tantrums) in between. The tiny moments we don’t always think to document but are such important memories.
