My portrait style leans toward timeless, nostalgic tones – classic but unfiltered. I focus on capturing authenticity and emotion in a way that truly reflects the person in front of my lens.
Those fleeting, unguarded moments that unfold naturally – the ones that are perfect precisely because they’re real. They remind me to stay curious, to trust my ideas, and to let creativity flow without limits.
Yes – I’m fully insured as a professional photographer for both public liability and equipment coverage.
Yes, I hold a standard DBS certificate. While it isn’t required, I believe it’s best practice when working with families. I also always ensure a parent or guardian is present for sessions involving anyone under 18.
Always. A clear contract protects both of us and outlines what you can expect from me – including deliverables, timelines, and usage rights. I tailor each contract to the type of shoot you book.
No hidden costs – ever. My session prices include the shoot, travel (within my standard radius), and the agreed number of edited images. Each package specifies how many images are included, I clearly show any optional adds, which does include extra photos, however, this would all be agreed during the pre-consult so there are no hidden costs post shoot.
As the photographer, I retain full copyright of all my images. Your contract grants you a personal-use license – meaning you can share, print, and post your photos (with credit), but not resell, edit, or use them commercially.
Simply fill in the contact form on my website or email me directly. I’ll then schedule a Zoom consultation so we can plan your shoot and confirm availability.
Bring snacks, water, treats for pets, and any special items you’d love included in your photos.

Yes, I do travel for shoots across the UK. Travel fees apply beyond my 15-mile radius, but I always provide clear pricing in advance.
A tense horse leads to a tense owner and visa versa. I’ve photographed many breeds and temperaments, so I know that patience and communication are key. During our pre-shoot call, we’ll discuss your horse’s personality, triggers, and comfort zones so we can plan a calm, enjoyable experience for you both.
Ah, the joys of English weather! I always monitor the forecast closely, but if the weather turns, I keep a few flexible slots open for rescheduling. Light drizzle? We can usually continue. If it’s a downpour, we’ll pause and decide whether to wait it out or rearrange the remainder of the session for another day – no stress, no extra fees.
Absolutely! I love working with lively dogs. The key is to give them some exercise beforehand – a walk or quick run at least an hour before the session helps. I always adapt to their energy rather than fight it, building breaks and playtime into our shoot so they stay happy and engaged.
Most equine and canine sessions take place at your yard, home, or a location meaningful to you. I’ll help you choose spots with flattering light and simple backgrounds, so your connection remains the focus. If your horse is kept on a livery or private yard, I will need written consent from the owners to take pictures on their property.
Yes, whether that’s several horses or a group of dogs. We’ll plan accordingly so everyone’s safe and comfortable.
I do, and they make striking statement pieces. These sessions require a quiet, shaded space such as a stable entrance or barn entrance and we’ll discuss setup and preparation beforehand.
You’re not alone – most children reach their limit after about an hour, and that’s completely fine. My sessions are relaxed and flexible, with plenty of time for breaks, snacks, or a quick reset. I never force photos or push through discomfort; we work together to create genuine, happy moments at their pace.
Yes – gently. I don’t do stiff, traditional posing. Instead, I guide you into natural movement or moments of connection that feel genuine and effortless. The focus is always on emotion, not perfection.
Most sessions take place outdoors at golden hour at a location meaningful to you. I’ll help you choose somewhere that suits the light and atmosphere you love most.
Neutral, comfortable tones always photograph beautifully – think soft, timeless colours that don’t distract from your connection. Avoid strong logos or neon shades. I’ll send a simple wardrobe guide before your session to help you plan.
Most last around two hours, though I work at your family’s pace. Maternity or couple sessions often run a little shorter, while family shoots can be more flexible to allow for breaks or little ones needing rest.
Absolutely! Pets are family too. I simply ask that dogs are exercised beforehand and that you bring treats or toys to help keep them focused when needed. You can find my additional adds on my services page.
If the forecast isn’t on our side, we’ll simply reschedule – no stress, no extra cost. I always keep a few flexible dates open for weather changes.
Family and lifestyle sessions are typically delivered within seven days but can be longer depending on which packages is chosen and if any additional adds have been selected pre-shoot.
Yes, in fact I only shoot small and imitate weddings. They align beautifully with my storytelling style, allowing me to focus on real emotion and connection.
I don’t work with rigid packages. Instead, I’ll create a bespoke plan around your day, based on my hourly rate and what moments matter most to you.
Travel within 15 miles is included. For weddings beyond that, I’ll provide a transparent travel quote in advance so there are no surprises later.
Absolutely. A shorter day doesn’t mean fewer beautiful moments – I’ll deliver the same professional, high-quality imagery regardless of duration; however, the quantity of images will be less for shorter coverage, however, you do have the option to pay for extra images if agreed beforehand.
Your private online gallery will be ready within 4- 6 weeks of your wedding date.
Yes! I collaborate with a range of clients. My focus is always on storytelling through strong, emotive imagery that aligns with your brand’s values and aesthetic.
I start by getting to know your brand and your audience and what makes your products unique. From there, I develop a visual approach that feels genuine and consistent with your identity. My goal is to capture the feeling behind your brand, not just the product.
Of course. If you already have a visual identity, I’ll review your style guide before the shoot to ensure the imagery fits seamlessly with your brand’s existing tone and colour palette. Consistency across platforms is important and I’m happy to collaborate with your creative or marketing team.
Turnaround time depends on the scope of the project, but for most brand and campaign shoots, galleries are delivered within 4 – 6 weeks. Larger projects or editorial campaigns may take slightly longer, depending on post-production needs.
As with all my photography, I retain copyright to the images. However, your contract includes a clear commercial licence that gives you permission to use the images for marketing, advertising, and promotional purposes, as agreed.
Definitely. Whether it’s equine, canine, or lifestyle portraits, I can integrate them naturally into your brand story.
No, my focus is on lifestyle and storytelling campaigns rather than product-only work. My approach is about bringing your brand to life through emotion, texture, and narrative. Whether it’s equestrian and canine wear or fashion and jewellery, I photograph your products in context worn, used, and experienced, so your audience can connect with the feeling behind your brand, not just the item itself.
Yes – I travel across the UK (and occasionally abroad) for brand and campaign work. Travel costs are always agreed in advance so there are no surprises.
