I can’t believe it’s been nearly a year since I documented Jelmer and Cedric’s wedding! Wait, what?! Do you also photograph weddings? Well, yes and no. Big weddings not really (saying this I’m actually doing one in Hailsham, East Sussex, this year), but I love photographing the more intimate, slightly smaller (micro) weddings. Brighton town hall is such a lovely venue, I’ve shot a few couples getting married there…

My last blog post was all about the newest addition to my camera kit: the GoPro Hero 10 - a great camera for underwater pictures! When I was researching this camera online I came across quite a few awesome half underwater shots and I really wanted to find out more about how these pictures were taken. Turns out that I needed…

Something slightly different on the blog today. I’ve created a step-by-step guide for documentary family photographers who are not yet, but might be toying with the idea of, adding documentary maternity photo sessions to their portfolio…

Kicking of the first blog of 2024 with a lovely family photo shoot I did for Isabella and her parents. They live all the way in Hong Kong, but were in the UK over the holidays to visit family in Hove and wanted some natural, unposed family portraits of their stay. We picked a cold but lovely sunny day in December and decided to go and explore…

Candid, natural family photos have become quite popular over the last few years, replacing stiff poses and forced smiles with authentic moments that tell a story. Let's dive into the secret behind capturing those authentic candid family portraits…

When people think of maternity photography they often envision fully styled maternity portraits done in a studio. But your maternity photoshoot doesn’t have to be done that way…
