Here for the energy, the creativity, the self-expression.
Who I photograph
These are the shoots where we get to be a bit creative. You bring an idea (or just a feeling), I'll bring a few of my own, then we head somewhere beautiful, chase the light and have fun with it.
No stiff poses, no forced smiles. Just you, being you. The way it should be.
I've got packages for every kind of shoot, from 30-minute mini sessions all the way up to 6 hours, anywhere from Bournemouth and Poole to Purbeck and the New Forest. Get in touch and I'll send over the options, or see weddings for the big day.
01Couples
Engagements, anniversaries, or just because. Beaches, woods, city streets, wherever feels most like you two.
Plan a couples shoot02Solo portraits
Confidence shoots, milestones, a new chapter. Photos that feel like the best version of you.
Plan a portrait shoot03Proposals
You plan the question, I'll stay hidden until the big moment. Your partner won't know I'm there until they need to.
Plan a proposal04Actor portfolios
Natural headshots and character shots that show who you really are. I started out photographing fellow performers, so I know what casting directors want to see.
Plan a portfolio shoot05Pets
Because they're family too. Relaxed, patient shoots that let their personality shine, whether that's zoomies on the beach or a quiet cuddle at home.

Your questions, answered
-
It depends on what you'd like. I've got set packages for every kind of shoot, from 30-minute mini sessions all the way up to 6 hours. Tell me your idea and I'll point you to the right one.
-
Anywhere that feels like you: beaches, woods, fields, city streets or even your own home. I'm based in Dorset and travel all over the UK. If you're further afield there may be a travel fee, and I'll always make that clear upfront.
-
Whatever you feel most like yourself in. Colours that sit well together (rather than matching exactly) always look great, and I'm happy to help you plan outfits before the day.
-
Not at all. Almost everyone says that. I'll guide you the whole way and keep it relaxed, and most people forget the camera's even there after the first few minutes.
-
Absolutely. We'll plan it together beforehand, I'll stay out of sight until the big moment, and then capture the reaction and some photos of you both afterwards.
-
I'd be upset if you didn't! Pets are family too, and some of the best shoots have a dog running around in them. Just let me know beforehand so we can pick a good spot. (Unless it's a surprise shoot, in which case maybe leave the dog out of the plan. They're terrible at keeping secrets!)

Get in touch with your idea and a rough date. Once we've had a chat and you're happy, a booking fee and a signed contract secure your shoot.
