FAMILY PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

Joyful & fun family photography for laidback parents that captures the twists and turns of their children’s childhood

This is for you if you love photographs that capture the love & connection of family life, and despite the busyness of life you want to capture that in print.

I don’t strive for picture-perfect performances or perfectly poised children. Instead, I aim to create a relaxed environment, where your children can be their true, wonderfully unpredictable selves.

And don’t let the thought that your kids might misbehave put you off because the chances are they won’t be the worst!

Often it’s the characterful photos that make it onto your walls, which surprises many a parent, who thought they just wanted a likeness.

One day they are sleeping in your arms, then you blink and they are crawling around your house, blink again and they are walking!

Get in touch to start planning a portrait experience so that you can always remember how small they once were.

YOU’RE SAYING  ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

People thought we were mad

with unrealistic expectations when we booked a photo shoot for our three preschool-aged children (a 4-year-old and 22-month-old twins).

However, Sue was unfazed by our slightly chaotic situation and took time to understand the children’s individual needs.

Sue created a fun and relaxed atmosphere, capturing beautiful images of the children individually and collectively.

We are so pleased we did this and now have absolutely stunning images of our cherished children, to remind us of these precious early years that seem to be passing rapidly before our eyes.
