As a Christchurch-based family specialist, I create natural, storytelling family photos with a timeless film feel. Sessions are relaxed and guided to capture genuine connection and everyday joy.
I specialise in family photography in Christchurch, GB — capturing everyday moments that feel honest, warm and timeless. My work is inspired by life as it happens: laughter while cooking together, quiet bedtime stories, silly games in the garden and the little gestures that make your family unique. I’m drawn to a documentary, storytelling approach and a soft, film-inspired processing that keeps images natural and emotionally true. Why choose me? Because I treat each family photoshoot as an experience rather than a checklist. I focus on relationships and small interactions — touches, glances, hugs — rather than forcing poses. Over time I’ve developed a gentle, conversational way of working that helps even camera-shy children and adults relax. The result is a collection of photographs that feel lived-in and authentic, images you’ll actually recognise as your family when you look back on them years from now. How I work: every session starts with a pre-session consultation where we talk about what matters to you — favourite places around Christchurch, clothing ideas, and the moments you most want to remember. On the day I guide the shoot so it feels like a shared adventure; there’s room for candid storytelling and a few thoughtfully composed portraits. I purposely create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can be themselves, which is when the most meaningful moments appear. After the session I carefully edit each selected image with a natural, understated style that enhances light and feeling without heavy retouching. My goal is to preserve the emotion and the small details — the way a child tucks hair behind an ear, the quiet smile exchanged between partners — so your gallery tells the story of your family. Based in Christchurch and available to photograph families across the region, I bring sensitivity, experience and a clear visual voice to every shoot. If you’re looking for a family portrait photographer who values authenticity, warmth and a timeless aesthetic, I’d love to hear your story and help you preserve it in images you’ll cherish.
