Forest Hill Family Photography | Saturday Morning With Freddie and Olav
I offer two types of family photo sessions: a Slice Of Life shoot and a Morning In The Life photography session, so what’s the difference between the two shoots?
I’m all about documenting family life in an authentic, honest and joyful way so both these shoots have a documentary approach - but the main difference is…
Newborn Photographer Brighton | Why Documentary Newborn Photography Captures the True Essence of Your Baby's First Days
The arrival of a newborn baby changes your life forever, from the moment you leave the hospital with your little one strapped into that carseat. As a new parent, you might want to capture those early days at home, in your own little bubble, with your newborn baby. Documentary-style newborn photography is all about…
Islington Newborn Shoot | At Home Newborn Photography London
I always get really excited when I have a London shoot coming up, especially when it's in North London, where I lived when I had just moved to the U.K...
Niko’s Christening at the Greek Orthodox Church in Brighton | Sussex Christening Photography
Since our move from London to Hove I've documented quite a few Christenings here in Sussex, but back in July I had the pleasure of capturing my very first Greek Orthodox Christening, and it was such an honour to be a part of this little boy's special day!
Niko and his two mums live in Chichester, but booked his Christening here in Brighton as this is where their nearest Greek Orthodox Church is based...
Photographing sea swimming lessons at Hove Beach
As I write this, on a grey, rainy day in September, I'm feeling a bit sad at the thought that Summer has ended and we're heading towards those darker, colder days... I have had so much work over the last few months though, for which I am very grateful, and editing all the pictures reminds me of warmer, sunnier times.
Shoreham Family Photographer | Beach Photoshoot
On the blog today are some shots from a recent Shoreham-by-Sea family beach photoshoot. I love exploring all the nearby towns here in Sussex. Shoreham is only 15 minutes away from Hove by car but I have cycled there before, which takes about half an hour and, if you have a bike, it’s definitely worth a little cycling trip…
Brighton Fringe Festival | Take your kids to see A Circus Sized Game Show!
Half term is here and if you’re struggling to find things to do with your kids then I can highly recommend going to Brighton Fringe Festival to see A Circus Sized Game Show, Morgan James is excellent!
I love going to Fringe, it’s such a great festival for the whole family and there are lots of shows to choose from. Last Saturday we took our bikes out, on a very sunny day, to cycle from Hove to…
Hampstead Heath Family Photography | At home session in Belsize Park
On a lovely sunny but cold Saturday morning back in March, I took the train to London Victoria to do a Slice Of Life session with Hamish and his family in Belsize Park. Taking the tube to North London brought back so many memories of my first years in London, when I lived in a lovely flatshare in Holloway…
Family photoshoot with the grandparents | Ivy and opa at the beach
I often get asked whether it’s OK if the grandparents can also be included in a family photo session and of course they can! I’m all about capturing real family connections and there is something truly special about documenting the bond children have with their grandparents…
Brighton Baby Photography | A Newborn shoot in Preston Park
Newborn photography sessions are always exciting but, when it’s a shoot for people you’ve photographed before, it just makes it all extra special! Serin’s baby photo shoot was originally planned for when she was just a couple of weeks old, but unfortunately this had to be postponed because the poor little girl wasn’t well and…
Brighton Wedding Photography | Documenting Jelmer & Cedric’s special day
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…
Family Pool Portraits | How to get those half underwater shots
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…
Trying out the GoPro Hero 10 during our family holiday
I’ve been thinking about buying a waterproof camera for ages. Living in Hove, I regularly take families down to the seafront for their family photoshoot and, whilst photographing children on the beach, I often find myself holding my camera high up in the air to avoid big waves. :-) Not the ideal scenario. So I’ve been looking into…

First Birthday Photoshoot London | Reportage Family Photography
I feel so lucky that I still have so many lovely clients in London. I love living in Hove, but it is nice sometimes to travel to The Big Smoke to photograph families that you know and look forward to photographing again. Most of these families live in South East London, and at the end of last year…
How to do a maternity shoot at home | a step-by-step guide
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…
Brighton Family Photo Shoot | Discovering The Lanes with Isabella
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…

In the world of family photography, there's a growing desire for family portraits that feel real, unposed, and genuinely capture the essence of a family. 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…
A natural, fun and relaxed Maternity Session in Hove with Jess
Jess contacted me when she was 35 weeks pregnant, as she decided (very last minute :-)) that she wanted her bump captured before the little one arrived. 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…
