Documentary Family & Newborn Photography | Brighton & London newborn and family photographer

When I quit my job in marketing a couple of years ago I knew I wanted to set up my own photography business. I’ve always loved taking pictures but, although I studied photography for a while back in Amsterdam, I felt like I needed to refresh my knowledge. So, I joined the London School of Photography (whilst being five months pregnant). 

As their course covers all areas of photography it’s a great way to find out what direction you would like to go into. I had never really previously considered family and newborn photography as an option but, being pregnant with Ivy at the time, it began to appeal to me more and more. There was only one small problem. When I thought of family photography, pictures of babies dressed up as flowers, wrapped in blankets and being put into a basket, popped into my head. Don’t get me wrong - there are a lot of amazing family and newborn photographers out there that provide these kind of images and the demand is huge. But that isn’t me.

After doing some research on family photography though, I discovered there was so much more out there! I ended up doing a course specifically about documentary family photography and modern storytelling. And discovered that this IS me! Photos of real family life: toddler tantrums, bath time, messy breakfast tables, nappy changes - your regular ordinary days are actually the special ones. 

So let me document your day, photograph your family, and tell your story!
