“Anna creates beautiful ‘to have and to hold’ images of children as they really are, not idealised or gilded versions of them.”

My aim is to capture beautiful but natural images of your children that reflect their true individuality at that moment in their childhood, and to produce a treasured record that will bring pleasure in your lifetime, theirs, and for the generations to come. If I have done my job well, you will view your images as a precious family heirloom and something you would grab from your home in the event of a fire.

My approach is relaxed, unobtrusive reportage with the minimum of direction or posing. During any session I will produce a full range of images, from individual portraits to family groups, and combinations of you with your children and siblings together. I will take part in your family activities and play and engage with your children. I will also stand back and observe. Almost all of my sessions take place in or around your home and/or a location special to you like a garden, park, wood or beach. When you look at your photographs, I want you to recall a relaxed fun and spontaneous time as a family not a photo shoot.

From the moment you are in touch with me through to receipt of your finished pictures, whether that takes the form of a family album, mounted or framed prints, or a set of high-res print ready digital jpg image files, my promise to you is quality and a dedicated bespoke service.

Prices for mounted archival professional photographic prints start at £30, and framed prints from £115. You can find full descriptions, up to date prices and images of all the products in my range in the Products section.

I am available for sessions all year round, 7 days a week, and in the Easter, summer and Christmas holidays, and at half terms and bank holidays.
