What’s stopping you from booking a family photoshoot? | Family Photography Bournemouth.

Uncategorised

I’m being brave and sticking my face on here again. Because, like you, I also feel a little awkward having my photo taken, who doesn’t!? But when you find the right photographer, and you relax, then the results are there to see.
My photography style has been described as natural, honest and storytelling. I give gentle direction into the best light, and gently pose you, allowing those genuine moments of connection to unfold naturally.
Being in the photos with your children is a gift to them, to see your presence in their childhood, for them as much as you, to be able to look back on when they are grown up.
We always think there will be a better time to have our picture done, when we’ve lost weight/look less tired/had our hair done… but our children don’t see us with those judgements, and the truth is… if we put things off too much, we end up missing out, because we may, ok, look less tired… but our little baby is just not as ‘little’ any more… and those pictures we wanted are lost.
What’s putting you off having family photos? Send me and email or give me a call and let me know if I can help.

I've a Black Friday deal coming out on the 26th November, get on my mailing list to be the first to hear. I only do one sale a year so you won't want to miss out. Click HERE to be added to my Mailing List. I promise not to spam you, I'll only send offers you may be interested in.

I think this might be the newborn version of a pow I think this might be the newborn version of a power pose. Those little frog legs. 🥺

If you want simple, natural timeless photos of your little one I’d love to help. 

For those super sleepy first few weeks it’s good to get in my diary after your 20 week scan. But my diary moves around a lot so it’s always good to get in touch because I’ll do my best to fit you in. Send me a message and I’ll happily email you my welcome and pricing guide.

These newborn sessions are more than just photos - These newborn sessions are more than just photos - they’re little pockets of calm, quiet joy. An escape, even for me. I really love what I do. 🤍

I hope to give every family I photograph, a chance to slow down, soak it in, and keep these precious beginnings forever. 🫶

June is going to be a busy one in my studio and I can’t wait! Please get in touch as soon as you can if you’re interested in booking a session.

Do you see that perfect little swirl in his hair? Do you see that perfect little swirl in his hair? 🥺

As a newborn photographer, I live for these fleeting details - the ones parents remember forever. Will it stay, or gently fade as he grows? Either way, today, we capture it.

Christchurch Under One’s Club 🤍 It was so lo Christchurch Under One’s Club 🤍

It was so lovely to see some of the babies I photographed as newborns, and to meet more little ones at this new under one’s club in Little Treasures Stay and Play in Christchurch. 

If you are new mum in the BCP area I would highly recommend going along. It’s a chance to meet other mum’s, have coffee and a cake and @babymamanodrama_  is inviting along different guest speakers to each session. 

I hope to join again in a few weeks time. 

Would be lovely to see some of you there! 💛

She was pure joy, the sweetest big sister. 💛 Y She was pure joy, the sweetest big sister. 💛

Your newborn session always includes sibling and family shots, because these are the moments you’ll want to look back on forever. 

It’s amazing how big siblings suddenly seem so grown up when baby arrives, but when you look back, you’ll remember just how little they still were. 🥺
