ESSEX NEWBORN  & family photographer

I’m a family photographer based in Saffron Walden, Essex, photographing families across Essex, Suffolk and the East of England. Sessions are available outdoors or within the comfort of your home, with a focus on connection and timeless images.


These sessions are perfect for families who want natural photographs and a calm experience without the pressure of a traditional photoshoot.


A limited number of sessions are available each month to ensure a relaxed, personal experience.

during your session

Your session is an opportunity to enjoy time with your family while I capture natural, meaningful moments.


You don’t need to prepare anything on the day as we’ve already covered styling guidance, and I’ll take care of the rest.


If you feel nervous about having your photo taken, you’re not alone. I’ll gently guide you into flattering light and natural moments, so nothing feels too posed.


For families, I keep things playful and relaxed (age dependent), using simple games and prompts to bring out real smiles, cuddles and connection.


Sessions allow for space for cuddles, snack breaks and little moments in between.

Your Images, Gallery & Heirloom Artwork

After your session, you’ll receive a link to your personal, password-protected online gallery, where you can view all your images.


From there, you’ll download your chosen photographs and choose from fine art prints, framed wall art and heirloom albums, designed to be enjoyed in your home for years to come.


Galleries are delivered within 2 weeks.

PRESENTING PHOTOS

 

Choose from a beautiful selection of fine art prints and heirloom albums, designed to be displayed in your home and passed down for generations.


This is one of my favourite parts of the process. I still love flicking through family photo albums when I visit my parents- the kind of memories you can hold, revisit, and one day pass down.


You’ll also receive access to your own personalised photo app, so you can admire your images on the go and share favourites with family and friends.
