Documentary Family Photographer

 My approach is simple: relaxed, authentic and natural family photography.

80% of the way I work is unposed - that means no manic grinning or forcing the little ones into funny poses. The other 20% makes sure I get multiple shots with the whole family in.

I focus on genuine relationships and connections between the family members rather than contriving situations. Think the opposite of a white background studio shoot!

Capturing children in the fleeting moment of how they are that day is really important to me, it’s not about perfection at all. It’s all about documenting family dynamics, siblings playing together and photographing all the energy, love and spontaneous moments that go on.

Involving myself in the shoot and the family is paramount to capture natural images. Playing with a toy trains, getting dirty outdoors, being chief-taster of their grotty garden pies, making up silly stories, or indulging in a game of hide and seek… anything that puts children at ease with me and my camera.

“I have no idea how you can make the whole process so easy and relaxed, but catch these amazing images. They really show the devilish, warm, loving, and fun personalities of our children. Thank you. We love them all.”
