  • Exceeded our expectations

    Karen did a maternity photoshoot for me, and I just can’t be happier! My partner and older boy were able to join too – so great to have all of us in the pictures. The photoshoot itself was lovely and relaxed, without any pressure whatsoever. And the photos we got exceeded our expectations! We just couldn’t believe how beautiful they are, and how natural they look. I already recommended Karen to some friends, and we will no doubt ask her to capture our growing family again in the future.

FAQs

Family, maternity and couples sessions usually take place outdoors in one of my favourite Hampshire locations, or somewhere meaningful to you. Newborn sessions are always at home so you can stay relaxed and comfortable.

Keep it simple and comfortable. Soft, neutral tones always photograph beautifully and help keep the focus on you. Once you book, I send a short styling guide with tips and ideas.

Yes, gently. I guide you just enough so you never feel awkward, but I keep things relaxed and natural. Most of the time you will be chatting, cuddling or playing together rather than posing.

Yes. Travel within 15 miles of Fareham is included in all sessions. I am very happy to go further and there is a small additional cost for locations outside this radius. Just get in touch with your location and I can confirm the travel fee.
I regularly photograph families, newborns, maternity sessions, couples and small brands across Fareham, Gosport, Portsmouth, Southampton, Eastleigh and the wider Hampshire area.

Yes, I take on a limited number of small, intimate weddings and celebrations. My main work is family and lifestyle photography, so you won’t see a huge wedding gallery here, but I’ve photographed several lovely weddings and really enjoy capturing those meaningful moments. If you’re planning your day and want natural, heartfelt photography, I’d be very happy to chat.
