Professional Baby Snuggler

Hi there! Thank you for stopping by. 

I am the mother of three boys: 28, 27, and 13. Time sure does fly!

I have worked with babies and children in physiotherapy for over 10 years and started photographing them professionally full-time in 2008. I have plenty of experience with children and have enjoyed every minute!

In my free time, I love travelling, snuggling with my giant dogs, and taking long walks in the countryside. I’m also obsessed with box sets on Netflix and Amazon Prime; they greatly help when editing!

My youngest child, who has autism, is non-verbal and has a learning disability, has been an incredible teacher in my life and truly a blessing. If your child has special needs, I wholeheartedly encourage you to schedule a portrait session—it’s a fantastic opportunity to celebrate their uniqueness!

I love connecting with people, but more than that, I love capturing other people’s connections. When watching a slideshow of their images, there’s nothing quite like seeing a family’s emotional reactions—tears, gasps, and laughter. Sometimes, it moves me to tears as well! I feel incredibly blessed to have the best job in the world and love every minute of it.

I must admit, I have a bit of a shopping addiction (hence the size of my prop collection). I know both my postman and the Amazon delivery driver by name!

WORK ETHIC

I aim to create something special that will inspire a ‘wow’ factor. My goal is to provide you with a unique and emotive piece for your wall that brings a smile to your face and fills you with pride, allowing you to share it with your family and friends. 

If something’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well. When looking for a photographer, you must choose very carefully. You should shop around and look at the photographer’s images.

It has taken years of learning, practice, and hard work to enable me to provide excellent service from start to finish.

It’s important that your photographer is experienced, fully insured, and, if specialising in newborn photography, trained in safe posing techniques. My photography studio in Coventry is specifically designed for newborns, babies, and children, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for your little ones.

I have had the privilege of training with some of the most respected newborn photographers from the UK and around the world. Additionally, my experience in the physiotherapy field ensures that your baby will be handled and positioned with the utmost safety and comfort, providing you with peace of mind during the session.

My studio is my cherished sanctuary, a wonderful space where special moments come to life! It’s bright and inviting, exuding a boutique charm that creates a cozy and warm atmosphere. The gentle scent of lavender fills the air, providing the perfect environment for calming babies and encouraging peaceful slumbers. This space truly is my happy place! Overall, my mission is to craft a memorable experience for both you and your little one!
