When it comes to photography, I believe the best images aren’t posed or forced — they're the ones that capture the real you, in all your warmth, laughter, and chaos. That’s what lifestyle photography is all about.
Based in Rotherham and working across the surrounding areas, I offer relaxed, natural family and life photography that tells your story just as it is — beautifully, candidly, and with genuine emotion.
If you dread having your photo taken, you're not alone (honestly, I get it). A quick mobile snap might capture the moment, but it rarely captures you at your best. My portrait sessions are designed to be easygoing and enjoyable, helping you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
Whether at home or out on location in a favourite local spot — like a nearby park or woodland — I’ll help you relax so we can create authentic portraits you'll actually love. With experience in lighting, angles, and gentle retouching, I'll make sure the results look great while still feeling like you.
Let’s be honest — kids aren’t made for studios. They're made for running, jumping, giggling, and exploring! That’s why I offer lifestyle photography sessions that capture children and families at their best: when they're being themselves. From muddy knees to messy hair, superhero costumes to spontaneous cuddles, these are the moments we'll document together. As a parent myself, I know how to keep little ones engaged, entertained, and happy during a shoot — so you can relax and enjoy the experience too.
Our pets are part of the family — so why not celebrate their quirky, lovable personalities with a photography session designed just for them? Whether they've got paws, hooves, feathers or (almost) anything else, I approach pet photography with patience, play, and plenty of fussing!
Sessions can take place at home or in one of your pet's favourite outdoor spaces, and if you'd like to hop into a few shots yourself, all the better. These are memories worth keeping.
Life isn't just made up of birthdays and milestones — it's made up of stories. Whether you're marking a special birthday, an anniversary, a personal achievement or simply want to capture your current chapter, lifestyle photography is a perfect way to preserve those memories.
I offer bespoke sessions tailored around your occasion, your people, and your favourite places. There's no stiff posing, no studio lights — just relaxed, documentary-style images that reflect your life and the people you love.
I wanted a relaxed informal portrait of all my parents' grandchildren as an anniversary gift and that is exactly what Carol did! She managed to capture all 11 perfectly. I also ask... Read Full

Unlike traditional studio photography, lifestyle sessions are unposed, flexible, and designed around you. This approach lets your personality shine through and creates photos that feel more like moments than mugshots. Whether we're exploring a local park in Rotherham, playing in your back garden, or curled up on the sofa with your dog, we'll make something meaningful together.
Based in Rotherham, I work across South Yorkshire and the surrounding areas — including Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster and beyond. If you’ve got a favourite location in mind, I'm happy to travel, or I can recommend some lovely spots perfect for a relaxed lifestyle shoot.
If you're looking for friendly, down-to-earth lifestyle photography in Rotherham or nearby, I'd love to hear from you. Whether it's a milestone, a memory, or just a moment in time, let's capture it — naturally and beautifully.
