Wrexham & Chester Family and Child Photographer
I’m a wife, a mother, a light chaser, and an outdoor girl. I’m based in Wrexham but also cover Chester, Oswestry, and North Wales.
My favourite images to capture are natural images, photos that will take you back to that memory, that age, their chubby cheeks, and how their tiny hand fits perfectly in yours.
I would live in sandals all year if I could and I hate coats. I’m comfy outdoors and love spending it with little humans, their fascination with everything still sits naturally with me.
Please scroll down for some F&Q’s and a little more about me
Before the photoshoot date, we will plan out a few things like location, goals, what you want to do with the images from our session, any additional needs your child may have and we can even discuss clothing and locations. I'm here to answer any questions you may have.
On the day we NEVER rush into a session, we have no awkward poses and we have no forced smiles, this is just not how I shoot, each session is allocated a 90-minute window and I am more than happy to run over this where needed.
If you have a child with additional needs we can tailor the session length, place, and time, taking all their needs into consideration.
Newborn sessions vary more
If on the day the weather is against us or one of you is ill we will reschedule to suit both our diaries. I tend to shoot in most weather conditions except heavy rain, really thick fog, strong winds, and when it's just too cold for the little ones to be outside.
Outdoors sessions can be moved into your home if no other date is available.
I have a style guide in my brochure, the brochure will be emailed across to you once you have booked in and paid your deposit. I'm also just at the end of the phone, video call, or email and happy to talk you through this, as it's an important part of our session.
Sharing images from your session helps me to attract more business as well as showing off just how cute you all are ;) HOWEVER I only share images on social media sites, blogs, and my website with your FULL permission and NEVER, ever without it. Please feel assured if you want your session kept private, it will be.
I love emotive images and the only way to get these is to let the children warm up to me first. From my reviews on Facebook, you can see that I'm a big children person and love spending time with them.
My photo shoots are fun, relaxed, and all about the children. It's a fun time outside exploring and capturing your child's personality with real smiles. I used to be a nursery nurse, I'm also a mum and after many years as a photographer, I have learned a lot of tricks :) also snacks help LOL
My car boot is full of blankets for you to sit on, I even have some outfits you are welcome to borrow. I don't tend to use Props but if you have something you would like included please bring it along :)
For newborns, I have some blankets that I will bring with me. However, I don't pose babies and I use your surroundings.
Dogs are very welcome, hamsters, and snakes not so much.
I'm fully insured
First aid trained
I have a Basic disclosure check certificate and it's shiny clean :)
*If you're an organisation wishing to hire me and require a full DBS/CRB disclosure you will need to request this on my behalf as I can't purchase a DBS/CRB check as a self-employed individual, I give you the full permission to do this.

No child is perfectly behaved, no child does everything they are asked and this is OK also Husbands sometimes need a little help ;) I am used to working with both lol
I'm here to capture their personality as well as their cuteness :)
Grandparents are more than welcome.
Pets are welcome.
Teddies are welcome.
Snacks and drinks are a good idea to bring along.
Change of clothes and footwear in case we jump in puddles or fall over.
If you would like to include a picnic feel free
Couples if you'd like to bring along some fizz or a beer that's cool with me :)
Sessions can take part either outside, indoors at your home or a mix of in-home and outside
I scout out quiet locations to use with clients but I am happy to use a location you love or that means something to you.
I photograph newborns, children, families, small weddings in the UK, France, Italy, and Spain.
I also do some commercial work and personal branding.
I have uncontrollable hair
I love sunsets and quiet beaches
Photography is my full-time job and I love it
I own 37 pairs of sandals but always wear my favourite pair
Center Parcs is my families happy place
I drink too much tea, I take it dark with a little milk and 1/2 a sugar, please :)
On a weekend if I'm not working you'll either find me at a National Trust site, up a hill somewhere or on a beach
I'm obsessed with Columbo and Nutrition
We have two Cats, Rosie & Betty
I love road trips, especially in France and Italy
At 30 something (cough cough) I still can't pass a railing without twirling on it
I love gardening and Monty Don, his voice is so soothing
I'm a qualified Nursery Nurse and Nutritional advisor in health promotion and disease prevention
