Newborn, maternity and family portraits in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
For busy mums who don’t want these early years to pass by without being in them.
Not sure where to start? I’ve got you.
Every session starts somewhere. Most mums begin here, with their newborn, and come back for every milestone after that.
Newborn Portraits
For those first quiet, sleepy days you never get back.
Maternity Portraits
Because pregnancy deserves to be remembered, not just survived.
Cakesmash Portraits
Messy, joyful and unforgettable. Let’s mark that first birthday in style.
Little Story
Your baby's first year, documented from the very beginning. Three sessions, one beautiful story.
From the moment you book, I'll help you with what to wear, how to prepare, and how to get the best from your session. It's relaxed, unhurried, and completely centred around your family.
Book your session and secure your spot. I'll take care of the rest, from guiding you through the day to helping you choose the images you'll want on your walls for years to come.
I take a different approach, because memories this good deserve to live somewhere better than a camera roll.
I've been doing this for over 14 years and I still get butterflies when a mum sees her images for the first time. Every session is baby-led, unhurried, and built around making you feel relaxed from the minute you walk in. And when it comes to your finished portraits, I'll make sure they end up on your walls, not buried in a folder you'll forget about.
These stages don't last. But the photos will.
Don't just take my word for it. Here's what real families have said.
