I loved this photoshoot. It was simple, relaxed and fun in a beautiful location. As it was only 30mins there was plenty of time afterwards for this gorgeous pair to stay for a little picnic on the beach. Let me capture real memories of you just being yourselves and enjoying each other's company.

I am extremely grateful to my wonderful clients who continue to put their trust in me year after year to capture their beautiful family stories as they unfold. I can't quite believe that this gorgeous girly (first pic) is going to be 2 soon! I am very excited to capture this next chapter for her and her mummy with a fun beach shoot. I am equally excited to be doing a cake smash for this beautiful boy (pic 2) to celebrate his 1st birthday! Can time please stop going so fast! I can't believe my little one has almost completed his first year of school already and my big one has lost 4 teeth! Is time whizzing past for anyone else at the mo? I still have a couple of spaces at the end of July if you want something different to do with the kids this summer. Let me help you document this chapter of their life before you blink and they've grown again!😅

I first met this lovely family almost 3 years ago now, when I was asked to photograph Evie-Rose's christening. So I was so excited to catch up with them when they booked one of my motherhood mini sessions. We had a great morning and it was lovely to see how much Evie had grown!😲. Im flattered that I was a part of creating more special memories for them and delighted that I could record this next chapter of their life together 🩷 Four generations of women is pretty special!🩷

I felt honoured to be asked to document a special christening of 3x siblings recently . It was a great day, the sun was shining and the church was beautiful. Booking a photographer meant that the christening was a relaxing experience for the family who could just focus on enjoying the day, knowing I was there to capture all the special candid moments for them they will remember for years to come.

Absolutely rubbish at posting my work!🫣 Maybe party because of imposter syndrome 🤷. Then I look at these images and can't help but smile, so I thought I'd post to hopefully make others smile too.This little one was a star on our motherhood photo session and we had a great time exploring the woods together. I love this type of relaxed shoot where families can just be themselves and enjoy spending time together. I really wish I had more photos like these of myself with my own kids that show that special connection between a mum and her baby/babies 🩵.

Capture every moment. Time goes so quick! Merry Christmas to all my lovely families I have photographed this year. ❤️

One of my favourite images from a recent at home newborn photoshoot. Just look at that cheeky face! A photoshoot in your own surroundings, doing your own thing, captures you being you. Your photos are as unique as your family.

Bridal portraits are a great way of capturing the finer details of your special day. Your gorgeous dress, hair, makeup, flowers etc. definitely deserve their own moment 💕

Just a few from last week's wedding . It was such a beautiful day for a lovely couple. A little rain couldn't stop us 💪

Last weekend was our niece's christening. It was such a special day full of love and I hope I captured some lasting memories for her to look back on when she is older 💕 Just look at that cheeky face!🥰

This is one post you will want to read to the end! Stick with me!😘

Another of my faves from last week's wedding. Thank you for a beautiful backdrop to these lovebird's special day.

These two love birds got married last Friday. It was such an intimate and romantic ceremony with just a few witnesses. Then we headed off to Westgate Gardens for some pics. The flowers were in full bloom and the weather was gorgeous which made for the most stunning backdrop. I just love how full of joy this picture is. Congratulations again guys!💍👰

Full on bridal prep mode 💕 I have different packages to suit different needs. My full day package includes all your wedding day preparations from you and your bridesmaids getting your hair and makeup done, to putting on your wedding dress and those first look shots with mum/dad/bridesmaids (some of my favourites) Along the way I will be capturing all the emotions that come with the morning of your wedding 💍

The moment you see your wedding makeup for the first time 🥰. Swipe left for luscious lashes ❤️.

This is one of the sneak peaks I recently sent to this gorgeous bride. The full gallery will be complete very soon and I can't wait to share a few more with you. The wedding took place at the lovely in Folkestone surrounded by beautiful coastal scenery.

Just look at that cheeky face! This little photoshoot only took 30mins (I think Bonnie had had enough by then) so we kept it short and sweet. She was happy as she'd just had a nap so we were able to capture all her cute facial expressions including this one🥰

Well, what can I say... Baby Bonnie definitely lives up to her name!💕 What a cutie! It was a pleasure to capture these for you .hof3 and Bonnie was a star. I hope these bring you special memories for years to come. 🥰Xx

Setting aside an hour for couple portraits gives the bride and groom a little time to connect with one another after the ceremony and just have a bit of calm before the craziness of the day continues. Plus they make for really awesome keepsakes of the day! 😘

Happy International Dance day
Here are a few shots of their recent photoshoot 🩰💕

Beautiful cake by 👏😋

Last Saturday I photographed Poppy & Marc's Wedding at the stunning . You couldn't ask for a more beautiful venue. The staff were so friendly and helpful and made my first a lot less terrifying 🤣. I only got lost a couple of times 😋. One of my highlights from the day was the trip on the golf buggy with to capture some shots around the picturesque castle grounds. More photos to follow.

Feeling very honoured that three lovely couples have chosen me to photograph their weddings for them next year. Thank you for putting your trust in me, I can't wait until the big days! Bring on 2023!☺️
