Photos aren't just for looking at - they're for remembering how it felt.


lifestyle sessions


There's something magical about the way sunlight wraps around your family at golden hour - soft, warm and fleeting. Outdoor lifestyle sessions are designed to capture that magic, blending natural light, candid connection and a bit of adventure.


Whether you're chasing your little ones through tall grass, sharing quiet snuggles on a blanket, or simply walking hand-in-hand as the sun sets, these sessions are all about preserving the feeling of this season in your life. Relaxed, playful, and heart-led - no stiff poses, just real moments under dreamy light.

What is the difference between Documentary and Lifestyle?



Documentary Photography is completely unposed and unscripted. I don't guide or direct - I simply observe and capture real life as it unfolds. Whether it's a morning at home, a trip to the ice cream shop, or an evening spent playing in the backyard, it's about preserving your everyday life just as it is - imperfect, beautiful and totally honest.


Lifestyle Photography is natural, but more polished and lightly guided. I'll gently direct you into good light or a cozy spot and give prompts that help create connection - like snuggling close, tickling toes or walking hand in hand. It's relaxed and emotive, with just enough structure to keep things flowing while still feeling real.

Lifestyle sessions take place one hour before sunset at an outdoor location.

Frequently asked questions

what should we wear?

Choose outfits that feel like you - comfortable, coordinated, but not all matching. I'm happy to help with outfit planning if you'd like!

is travel included?

Travel is included in your session, up to 30 minutes from 07828. Anything beyond that will incur a travel fee.

Where do sessions take place?

Documentary sessions can happen anywhere your real life happens - your home, the park or even your favorite coffee shop.

Lifestyle sessions are taken outdoors during golden hour (the hour before sunset). Once you've decided to book, we'll work together to pick the location best for you.

Can we include our pets?

Yes, please do! Pets are part of your family and should be included in your family photos. For lifestyle sessions, we'll confirm the location is pet-friendly. For documentary sessions, they can be included just part-time together or the whole session - it's completely up to you.
