I am not a fan of traditional studio portraits of children. Nor are most children who've been asked to sit up straight and smile in front of a white background.

My aim is to capture natural uncontrived expressions of your child. In order to do this, I like to make the session as relaxed and as much fun as possible.

Children are usually more at ease in a familiar environment so I come to your house. I like to use natural light whenever possible so, weather permitting, your garden or a nearby park may be the best location.

I feel it is important to spend enough time with the children for them to feel comfortable and unpressured.
A typical session takes about an hour and a half but can vary from child to child.
