There’s something about the start of a new year that always makes me pause for a moment.
Not in a dramatic “new year, new me” kind of way, but more in a quiet, reflective way. Looking back at the year just gone, and feeling incredibly grateful for the families, the stories, and the tiny moments I’ve been trusted to capture along the way.
Last year was full of newborn cuddles, growing bumps, cheeky toddlers, and beautifully real family moments — the kind that make you smile long after the session is over. I also had the absolute joy of photographing some gorgeous weddings too, and I have to say… swapping baby cuddles for happy tears, confetti throws and packed dance floors was pretty special. I honestly love that my job lets me capture love in all its forms — from brand new beginnings to “we finally did it” celebrations.
As I step into this new year, I’m feeling excited, inspired, and so ready for what’s to come. My diary is already filling with lovely sessions, lots of tiny babies due very soon, and a handful of weddings that I’m genuinely counting down to. There are also some really nice plans happening behind the scenes that I can’t wait to share with you.
This year, I want to continue doing exactly what I love most — creating relaxed, natural images that feel timeless and full of connection. Sessions that don’t feel awkward or rushed, where you can cuddle your babies, laugh with your family, or completely forget I’m there while you enjoy the day. Whether that’s in my cosy home studio, your own home, outdoors, or on a wedding day surrounded by everyone you love.
To every family and couple who booked me last year, recommended me, shared my work, or simply followed along and supported my little business — thank you. Truly. It means more than you know, and I never take that trust for granted.
Thinking about booking this year?
If you’re welcoming a baby, celebrating a milestone, planning a wedding, or simply want to capture your family just as they are right now, my diary is open for the year ahead. Newborn sessions are best booked during pregnancy so I can allow flexibility around your due date (babies love to keep us guessing), and wedding dates tend to go quicker than you’d think — but I’ll always do my best to help where I can.
If you’d like more information, want to chat through options, or just need help deciding what kind of session might suit you best, you can get in touch via my website or pop me a message on Instagram.
Here’s to a year full of love, connection, tiny toes, big cuddles, happy tears, and all the moments that matter most.
