The Studio

My beautiful, relaxed, boutique studio is based in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire (near Coleford GL16 7ER). It’s a rural farm location in a character filled outbuilding (perfect with children!) It enables kids to take time out of a session, particularly helpful during a 2 hour newborn shoot. They can catch a little blast of fresh air, come back refreshed and ready to finish the portraits. 

 

With stunning natural light, it’s a real home-from-home. I always work at the children’s pace, whether that’s during a newborn session, little sitter or first birthday. With gentle encouragement along the way, you’ll never feel like your children are forced to do anything. They simply have a nice play and I’m able to capture their natural spirit in the process. We’ll take as many breaks as we need to, an hour session can feel quite long for young children. We can even capture some lovely portraits of you as a couple when they’re having a 5 minute snack break!

Once you’re fully booked in, I’ll send detailed instructions of how to find us, with helpful photos too. I also do lots of 100% outdoor shoots in Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, Herefordshire, Cotswolds, Forest of Dean, Chepstow, South Wales and Bristol. We can also do lifestyle shoots at your own home (just get in touch to find out more!).
