I love capturing the tiny, fleeting moments of early childhood in Upminster, Brentwood, Shenfield, Chelmsford, and across Essex. From delicate newborn cuddles to playful little ones, my sessions are relaxed, natural, and centred on your child’s personality and your family’s unique story.

Every session is tailored to your child, focusing on genuine expressions, special details, and the quiet magic of childhood that passes all too quickly.
