An Unbelievable Start to 2024 – A Huge Thank You!

I didn't get into newborn photography for awards—I simply love capturing those tiny, fleeting moments that pass by so quickly. But this year has started with some incredible news…
I’ve been awarded Newborn Photographer of the Year and Photographer of the Year! It’s such an honour to receive these titles from The Guild of Photographers and to win a Newborn Photographer of the Year title for the third year in a row is something I never expected.
Entering competitions, for me, has always been about pushing myself to create something special for every one of my clients. I want to be able to capture something unique for each and every baby that comes through the studio door.
The Guild of Photographers run a year long competition, where you must enter consistently to be in with a shot of placing in the top ten. This year, not only was I the highest scoring newborn photographer, but I got the most points in any one category! When my name was called for Photographer of the Year I couldn't believe it, it truly was such a huge moment for me.

Why This Means So Much
Newborn photography is all about preserving those early days—when your baby is still tiny, sleepy, and changing so quickly. Every session is a chance to create something special for families to treasure forever. While winning these awards is an amazing recognition, what truly matters is the trust parents place in me to capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments. Knowing that the work I am creating for parents is of such a high standard is something I am so proud to offer all my clients.
Whilst competition has always been a way to assessing myself and my work, now it is time for something a little different - I was asked to start my judge training, and whilst it doesn't mean I will become a panel judge for The Guild, it will mean that I have the chance to mentor, to give back to the community that has helped push my work to where it is now - and gives me the option to become a panel judge if that opportunity arrises, of course!

Thank You for Your Support!
To all the families who have trusted me with their precious memories—thank you. Your support means everything, and I wouldn’t be here without you.
Thinking About Booking a Newborn Session?
If you’re expecting a baby and considering a newborn photography session, I’d love to help. My sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and designed to capture all the little details that make your baby unique.
The best time for newborn photos is within the first two weeks after birth, so I always recommend booking while you’re still pregnant to secure a spot. I only take on a limited number of sessions each month to ensure each family gets the best experience possible.
​

If you’d like to find out more about booking a newborn session, feel free to get in touch—I’d love to hear from you!
