About Sue
Seeing your child clearly shouldn’t feel rushed or stressful
I work with parents who want something simple:
a straightforward, comfortable way to remember who their little one is right now – before they change again.
The real expressions.
The personality you see every day.
The small details that mean the most to you as their parent.
This isn’t about perfection or getting your child to “perform.”
It’s about giving you space to notice the things that are easy to miss when life is busy.
Why I do this work
Over the years, I’ve heard the same thing from so many parents:
“I thought I had more time.”
Not in a dramatic way – just in the normal, everyday sense that childhood moves quickly while you’re juggling everything else. You look up one day and they suddenly seem older.
That realisation is why I’m so focused on helping families get something meaningful from this stage.
Not posed. Not staged.
Just honest portraits that feel like your child.
Something you’ll be glad to have when they change again.
A Clear, Child-Led Approach
Most parents arrive wondering how their child will behave.
Here’s what they quickly realise: they don’t need to do anything special.
I guide gently.
I watch closely.
I adapt to your child within the first few minutes.
Whether they’re shy, energetic, curious, clingy or warming up slowly, I work at their pace – no pressure, no expectations.
Children show who they are when they feel free and unhurried.
That’s when you get the expressions and moments that feel real.
My job is to create that space and to make the whole experience feel straightforward for you.
Artwork That Lasts Longer Than the Stage You’re In
Most families I work with choose Wall Art Collections or a Treasure Box – pieces that feel substantial and intentional rather than “more digital files I’ll never get around to printing.”
This isn’t about decorating a wall.
It’s about keeping something meaningful from a stage that passes quickly.
Every piece arrives finished and ready to enjoy, so you don’t have to add anything to your to-do list.

My Studio at Parndon Mill
My studio sits within Parndon Mill — a peaceful, riverside creative community on the Herts/Essex border.
It’s quiet, easy to reach, and offers the headspace parents often don’t realise they need.
From the moment you arrive, everything is unhurried, gentle and fully guided.
If You’re Thinking About This, Now Is a Good Time
There’s no perfect moment.
There’s just the stage you’re in right now – and the chance to hold onto something real from it.
