I am known and trusted as Hampshire and Dorset’s premier professional newborn baby photographer for over 13 years now! My photographic work is displayed in many NHS hospitals /NICU wards and scanning clinics throughout Hampshire and Dorset. I have over 30 years of experience working closely with newborn babies.
A Specialist in Newborns First and Foremost
Mastering the art of Photography takes years but as any mother knows, handling a newborn baby is something no one can teach you. A lot of experience can go a very long way. I am fully safety trained in newborn photography. The safety and comfort of your baby is absolutely paramount in my sessions. My experience of working closely with babies and families has taken me all around the world. Working with some high profile parents too. You can be assured of total discretion at all times if required.
My early career as a specialist maternity nurse, nursery nurse and newborn feeding and sleeping consultant stands me apart from other general photographers. I believe this has given me a unique grounding and allows me to offer a specialist newborn baby photography experience that is second to none. Clients return time and time again to capture their growing family. They join my photographic Family Club membership.
I hold a full Paediatric First Aid certificate, a fully enhanced DBS check and have full Liability Insurance.
Volunteering for RMB Remember My Baby – Remembrance Photography for Hampshire is an honour for me. More information on this charity can be found here www.remembermybaby.org.uk
In my spare time I can always be found at a beach! Cold water swimming all year round is my favourite past time as well as lots of water sports. Travel has always been an important part of my life too. Before I set up my photography business I was fortunate enough to be able to work as a maternity nurse world wide! Nothing pleases me more than visiting far away lands such as China, India and Thailand and immersing myself in different cultures. In the past I lived in Italy for several years. Being a very adventurous person, I also encourage my son to be too. I adore horses and horse riding, love running and generally keeping fit.
I have run several races to help raise funds for PICU – Paediatric Intensive Care Unit Southampton in which my son spent some time recovering from open heart surgery. We will always be extremely grateful for their care and support during the toughest time in our lives. I feel honoured to be able to gift my newborn baby photographic images to hospitals and birthing units throughout the South of England as a thank you and to celebrate new life.
