Welcome, your photo session should be fun, relaxed and as stress free as possible
So I take a child centred approach to photography, my newborn and family sessions are designed to take the stress out of photography while capturing beautiful images you'll be proud to hang on your wall.
We all know kids grow up fast, too fast at times so lets capture those fleeting moments so you'll always have something to look back on.
A one hour lifestyle portrait session starts from £140 and includes a canvas up to 12", 10 prints up to 6" and the digital copies of these prints.
A 20 minute mini session is £60 and includes 5 prints and the digital copies of these prints.

Stress free and in your own home.
Lifestyle Newborn Sessions
Your newborn is amazing but with sleepless nights and constant feeds I know a newborn can be tiring and stressful too. The last thing you really want to do is to travel all the way to a studio for a photography session especially if you've a toddler to wrangle as well.
Instead let me come to you.
My lifestyle newborn sessions focus on the love and connection between you and your newborn. If you’re looking for natural photos of your baby and you hate the idea of cheesy props you've come to the right place.
There are never any forced smiles or been told to look at the camera waiting awkwardly to be given the all clear the photo has been taken. Instead the session are designed to be as enjoyable as possible so by the time we've finished you'll be surprised it's already been an hour.
A family photo session gets everyone involved. Too often there is always someone missing from the family photos. Usually mum who along with making sure everyone is enjoying themselves is documenting it all too.
These sessions take place in the comfort of your own home for the newborn session. And in some of the most stunning places in Staffordshire for when your kids are old enough to run around and enjoy themselves. A particular favourite location of mine is Cannock Chase but if you've got a location you love just let me know.
My goal is to capture personalities not just what you look like. I want to capture the love and connection between you and your family so when you look back through your images it'll always evoke fond memories.
"We recently had a family photo shoot with Luke and had so much fun. It was lovely to be outside in natural surroundings rather than a studio and the kids had lots of room to run around and Luke captured some great natural shots. Lovely experience with some beautiful memories to treasure."
