Having a baby is a very special time in your life and what better way to capture these fleeting moments than through some gorgeous images of you and your newborn?

My bumps and babies shoot begins with a shoot with Mum while pregnant. Then I will spend time with Mum and baby during the child's first 12 months of life in a series of short sittings. From newborn to sitting up to toddling- the result is a wonderful collection of images of your child's very early stages of life, for you to cherish.

Capturing every child's personality and spirit is my aim. I love children to run free, be themselves and have fun, I don't mind a few tears and tantrums - I capture those too, along with the more thoughtful moments. They all make up a child's personality and that's what contemporary lifestyle photography is all about: capturing the uniqueness.

When was the last time you managed to get a lovely image of your teenager? I can make a shoot really good fun and very enjoyable. I aim to capture them at their best, most relaxed and natural. As a parent you may want more traditional images and your teen may want some with a more modern, stylish twist. My shoots incorporate both styles to allow you all to choose the kinds of images you and your teen will love.

Children grow so quickly and change so fast that to capture that "moment in time" is the perfect way of treasuring those special moments as a family. Photography is an art; it's a perfect medium for portraying a story of those wonderful, happy, carefree childhood days and the closeness of a family. For both parents and children alike, looking back at the photographs in the weeks, months and years that follow, those fond memories can never be forgotten and will be forever treasured.

Family shoots are photographed outside in natural light and in a variety of interesting locations. Whether near a river, on the beach, in a corn field, in the grounds of a stately home, on a farm, in the woods, the possibilities are endless. The photo shoot will be informal and relaxed with no awkward posing and complicated positions to get into! I want you to enjoy yourselves in the great outdoors and for the photographs to reflect your unique personalities.

Photographing animals is a real passion of mine, capturing their unique personalities is just as important as it is with people. The sessions are very much like a portrait shoot, outdoors with no time pressures and lots of fun! You may like to be photographed too and this can really add an extra special element to the images and show the bond between you and your special friend. I will create some wonderful images for you to cherish.

I am also proud to have won an award for my pet photography- in the Kennel Club's Dog Photographer of the Year 2009.
