I’ve created these Pocket Guides to give you quick and simple answers to the questions I’m most often asked about my photography sessions. Each guide is short, easy to browse, and designed to help you feel confident and prepared—whether you’re booking your very first session or coming back again.
You’ll find guides for each type of session I offer, plus a few covering the practicalities of visiting the studio and what happens afterwards. They’re not long reads—just the essentials, with links to more detailed information if you’d like to dive deeper.
All sessions take place in my cosy studio in Crawley Down, West Sussex – easy to reach from Crawley, East Grinstead, and surrounding areas or Kent, Surrey and Sussex.

Why Choose Me?
There are lots of photographers out there, so why choose me?
Well, first of all, I really care. I know that stepping in front of the camera—especially with a new baby or a wriggly toddler in tow—can feel a bit daunting. But from the moment you walk through the door, my focus is on making you feel completely at ease. I’ve created a relaxed, welcoming space that’s all about you and your family.
I work from a purpose-built studio in Crawley Down, designed with comfort and calm in mind. I don’t rush sessions, and I never expect little ones to perform on cue. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve seen it all—so I’m patient, understanding, and always ready to work around naps, snack breaks, and shy moments.
My style is natural and classic. No cheesy props or awkward poses—just beautiful, honest images that reflect your family as you are right now. Whether you’re celebrating a brand new arrival, a first birthday, or simply want to capture your family as they grow, I’m here to help tell your story.
