Who is behind the camera

Twenty years of portraits

A newborn and family specialist with twenty years of professional portraiture. That is a long time to learn how to settle a baby who has decided today is not the day, and how to get a real laugh out of a four year old rather than a posed one.

The studio is on Greensway in Ashton in Makerfield, set up so that nobody has to travel far with a newborn or a car full of party bags.

What we do

Sessions for every stage

From the first fortnight through to the ones where they will not sit still.

Newborn

The first couple of weeks, unhurried, at whatever pace the baby sets. Feeding and settling time is part of the session, not an interruption to it.

Cakesmash

The first birthday, properly made a mess of. Set up, photographed and cleared away so it happens somewhere that is not your kitchen.

Milestones

Sitting up, standing, walking. The stages that look permanent at the time and are gone within a month.

The work

The gallery

This is the part of the site that does the selling, and it is the part only you can fill.

Everything else on this site can be written. This cannot. Eight to twelve images across newborn, cakesmash, milestone and family, and this page stops being a demo.

Children’s parties

Magical children’s parties designed to spark imagination and celebrate every milestone. Themed photo parties and creative play, in a studio already set up for children.

A place where memories are made, laughter is shared, and every child feels special.

Dates go early

Newborn sessions in particular are booked before the baby arrives, because the window is only a fortnight wide.
