Hello, and thanks for visiting!
I’m Kelly – a full time photographer and work-from-home mum based in Horsham, West Sussex.
As a mother myself, I understand that great photos happen when children are allowed to run, be spirited and free – quite often I get the best photos from moments that they aren’t even aware of the camera.
This is what has influenced my style so much.
“Lifestyle” photography is less about posed portraits, and more about capturing activities and favourite ways families enjoy spending their time together.
I find this allows children (and parents!) to act naturally, without any pressure. Maternity sessions are shot in the same way – I will give some guidance
Working mostly on location outdoors and in families’ homes, family and maternity sessions are fun, informal and relaxed, producing images that truly capture a family’s unique relationship, and showcasing the special bond they share.
I work mostly near Horsham in some stunning outdoor locations, handpicked by me over the years to create beautiful backdrops for families’ pictures, no matter what the season.
You can look forward to many outdoor locations to choose from, including:
… carpets of Bluebells;
… fields of bright yellow Rapeseed (or Canola if you prefer);
… beautifully maintained gardens that are ideal in any season;
… rows of fragrant lavender;
… beaches and forests… to name just a few.
Which location would you choose?
You’re about to grow your family – congratulations!
Maybe it’s for the first time, second, or even third or fourth…
Whatever the number, it can be both exciting and overwhelming for you all, and so many families regret missing out on recording this important time in their lives.
Hiring a professional to capture these moments for you means that your attention can be focussed on other things.
Maternity sessions can take place at either one of my outdoor locations, or somewhere meaningful to you. You can also choose a more intimate lifestyle session, which will take place in your home.
Or perhaps a little of both – starting off in your home, then venturing outside.
In-home family lifestyle sessions document the unique connections you have as a family. It is a chance to relax and enjoy each others’ company in your own environment (something not a lot of families get to focus on these days), knowing that I am there observing and documenting special moments shared.
Another plus: You don’t have to rely on the weather!
In addition to your chosen collection, you will receive personalised tips on preparing for your session, to bring out the best in you and your family and making the most of our time together, resulting in photographs that are unique and personal.
From the natural and candid moments captured I go on to create emotive images with a story behind each one – this ensures that no matter what the weather or background, I can deliver stunning colourful outdoor images to display in your home.
All collections include:
▪ A Pre-Session Consultation (in person or via video call) to discuss your needs.
▪ Advice on what to wear and what to expect, making the most of our time together.
▪ Securing your chosen date and time, including our time on location together.
