savouring the days of family

these are the days to
c h e r i s h
Though it may not feel like it during those long days, your children are not small forever. They’ll grow & make you wonder how they were ever so tiny, loved to cuddle up in your arms & sing songs with you.
My aim is to capture all of the moments that encapsulate this precious phase of your family’s life. Wild, free, full of emotion. I never expect smiles or perfect behaviour, I won’t ask for anything but for you to be your true selves. The only thing I expect is for you to truly sink into yourselves and embrace the connection around you. Run free with your children and feel the sand between your toes, roll in the grass and laugh in the sunshine, let yourself be.
Whatever it is, the most mundane or the most monumental moments in your life, we look back and cherish the photos we have of our families as they are the only things that connect us with our past. It is my biggest joy to tell part of that story for you.

We’ll adventure on the beach, in the woods, run around in nature and let the sunshine glaze over us. My sessions are gently prompted, not posed. I’ll lead you into a scene and let it unfold, capturing all the beauty in the natural moments.
I want to capture your family in all it’s beautiful madness. The laughter, the tears, the tantrums, the happiness. All the emotions that tell the very human, very beautiful story of those younger years, those times of connection with the ones you love the most.
I’ve never shot two families that are the same. Each one is unique. Embrace it & let yourself be with your circle. I’ll never force a smile. You & your children guide the session, it’s you that will create magical moments that will become memories to look back on & treasure forever.

Absolutely! I’m based in Bridlington East Yorkshire but I will happily travel to wherever you need me to be. All of my packages include travel up to 1 hour of YO16, anything further than that is 45p per mile just to cover my fuel cost.

Everyone is! I certainly am! I have had so many clients from weddings, family & newborn sessions tell me that they’re camera shy and don’t want the limelight of the camera on them. But after spending some time with me & easing into my relaxed way of photographing, they feel confident & immersed in their experience, having core memories documented & beautiful portraits.
Trust in me to guide you & let yourself embrace the nerves.
-
I’ll never make you shoot in bad weather! We can simply push the session back until the rain clears.
-
I give a lot of guidance on clothing tips once you’re booked in to prepare you for the session. I advise neutral, earthy tones like browns & creams, flowy fabrics, all with a very minimal, subtle look that will make you feel comfortable & elegant and mimic the environment and colours that your photos will be in.
-
I never expect your children to be perfect. We will embrace the chaos, tears and joy as they come. Let your children be themselves & we will follow their lead and make it fun. I always have tricks up my sleeve to put a smile on their face too!
“One of my boys asked when he could do it again as it was so much fun! … I was a little concerned at first, as I’ve always had photos taken in a studio, however, her candid style of photography was an amazing way to capture my children having fun. Maisie has gone above and beyond in my expectations, capturing beautiful photos and they felt very relaxed.”

I love to watch all of the special, treasured moments you’ve shared together unfold.
That’s why I piece together PhotoFilms that stitch every moment into a cinematic, moving & storytelling film. Looking back on your memories in this unique, delicate & memorable way is, to me, the most special keepsake to take with you and pass on through your family in years to come.
Every part hand-crafted with care; a carefully selected piece of music and each snapshot chosen & placed with intention to best tell the true story of your time.
