Why I make black and white portraits of toddlers and young children

Right now, you are living in the most extraordinary years of their life, and the most exhausting of yours.

The baby who couldn't hold their own head up is already running. The toddler who mispronounced their favourite word in the most perfect way,  you can already feel that slipping. By seven, so much of the baby you knew is gone, replaced by a small, brilliant, opinionated person you somehow love even more.

These years move faster than anyone warns you about.

When my daughter turned one, I felt the weight of it. I had made a whole person, sustained her through every single day and she was already changing before my eyes. The love I felt for her, and the woman I was becoming in the process, was unlike anything I had words for. I knew I needed to mark it.

That's why I create this work. For parents who know, on some level, that this chaos is also magic. That the madness is special, funny and absolutely their own, and something they will one day ache to return to.

I’m a globally-commissioned, prize winning photographer. I draw on almost twenty years experience shooting for some the world’s most exciting magazines and creative companies. I’m now using this expertise to create beautiful portraits of children, from one year old upwards.

Design-led family photography

Why make art from your own experience?

The most powerful art is personal. Your home should tell your own story.

How it works

A vertical line with two small circles, one at the top and one at the bottom.

I set up a two light mini studio at your home. The shoot takes about half a day.

After the shoot you receive a printed contact sheet by post with nine images. You use this to create your artwork.

1 Creation

Empty vertical line on a plain white background.

I use the finest printing techniques and materials to ensure your prints are of the highest quality, providing lasting beauty for years to come.

2 Printing

Empty white space with a thin vertical gray line near the left edge.

Choose from a wide selection of custom frames, designed to work with your taste and style decor and enhance the portrait.

3 Framing

Empty vertical line with a small circle at the top

Images with integrity

I have honed my craft over the years working with the best editors, publications and printers in the photographic industry.

My process uses lighting technique and lens choice as a foundation for the photograph. On top of this sits the interaction between myself and the subject. I like to allow room for whatever the subject brings. It’s this intuitive and emotional space where portraits are made, and where the work can become something special and unique.
