As a mother myself, I know how quickly childhood changes—the wild energy, the quiet cuddles, the little moments that seem small now but will mean everything later. As a parent, I am sure you will relate to that sense of longing for time alone, yet once the rascals are in bed, you find yourself looking through old photos on your phone of them. You think, how in the blink of an eye did they change and grow so much?
Wall-Worthy Family Photos That Hold a Lifetime of Memories
YES - THAT'S US!
My approach to photography is all about preserving these fleeting stages in a way that feels unscripted, heartfelt, and artistic - letting children 'be themselves' while I quietly capture the magic of your family as it is.
My newborn and family sessions are relaxed and natural, focusing on genuine connection rather than stiff posing.
I take an editorial approach to my Maternity Sessions, using refined posing to create powerful, striking portraits that celebrate this transformative stage in a woman’s life.
I shoot in personal, familiar spaces—your home, a favourite outdoor location, or both—so that your images reflect your family’s unique rhythm. These aren’t just photographs; they’re pieces of your story, made to be framed, displayed, and cherished for a lifetime.

"We had an amazing experience with Philippa capturing beautiful photos of our family. The kids were at ease with her straight away and she made the shoot itself very relaxed for us all - with 3 kids 6 & under this was amazing!"
My approach is relaxed, natural, and playful, because after all, children LOVE to play. This is how I capture the raw, messy, and beautiful connections you share as a family. It’s those details—the quiet moments, the laughter, the tiny interactions—that truly evoke the feeling of that time.
Of course, we’ll grab that timeless portrait and try to get everyone looking at the camera (because it’s tradition, right?), but most of your photos will be real and unposed. I’ll capture the cuddles, the sniffs, the kisses, the tickles, and the beautiful chaos of your family connections.
We all have those "say cheese" photos on our phones—lots of just the kids, some with Dad and the kids—but often missing Mum entirely. My mission is to make sure you have beautiful, authentic photos that include you, Mum!
