Her work is rooted in a belief that the best family portraits come from relaxed moments and genuine connection, not stiff poses. Whether you’re booking a family photoshoot to mark a milestone, capturing the first weeks with a newborn, or wanting warm, natural photos of your children, Hannah’s approach is about telling your family’s story with sensitivity and style. Why choose Hannah? She treats each session as a collaboration. With a calm, patient manner and a knack for putting children (and parents) at ease, Hannah captures expressions and little interactions that reveal personality and relationship. Her images aim to be timeless: honest, emotive and crafted so they still feel true years from now. As a specialist in family and maternity work, she understands the practicalities of photographing babies and young children and makes safety, comfort and respect the priority throughout the shoot. What makes her approach special is a blend of documentary instinct and gentle direction. Hannah looks for small, genuine moments—the giggle, the sleepy yawn, the way siblings lean on one another—and composes those into cohesive visual stories. She adapts to each family’s rhythm, preferring natural light and simple styling that keeps the focus on connection. The result is a portfolio of images that are both beautifully composed and warmly familiar. How Hannah works: every session starts with a friendly planning conversation so she can understand what matters most to you. On the day she creates a relaxed atmosphere, allowing children to be themselves while offering unobtrusive guidance to help everyone feel confident. Post-session, Hannah carefully edits the images to enhance mood and clarity, delivering a curated gallery of photographs that reflect your family’s personality. Beyond family shoots, Hannah also photographs maternity sessions as a core service and offers video and business photography as secondary services. But it is family work—capturing life’s everyday and milestone moments—that truly defines her practice. If you’re in North Watford and value natural, emotive family photography, Hannah provides a thoughtful, experienced approach that centers your story.
