Beautiful, Storytelling Photography in the Place That Means the Most

Picture a slow morning at home—your children curled up on the sofa with their favourite book, giggling as they tumble onto your lap. The tiny hands reaching for yours, the spontaneous kitchen dance parties, the quiet snuggles in their sunlit bedroom.

These everyday moments may seem small, but they are the ones you’ll long to remember.

As a Cheltenham in-home family photographer, I specialise in candid, warm-hearted photography that captures your family’s love in the most natural, comfortable setting—your home. No stiff poses, no pressure—just real, playful, love-filled moments that tell the story of your family, right now.

A Legacy for Your Children

These aren’t just beautiful photographs. They are memories that transport you back—to how it felt to have their tiny arms wrapped around you, the sound of their laughter echoing through your home, the joy of simply being together.

Your home is more than just a backdrop—it’s part of your story. It’s where milestones happen, where you feel most at ease, where your love shines brightest.

These in-home sessions are for;

| families who want photos that truly mean something

| parents who want to remember childhood as it really is - joyful, playful, and beautifully imperfect

| those who want images that hold emotion, not just a pose

Little Love Notes From My Families

Chloe

“We are not used to photo shoots but she made sure all of us were comfortable. She did guide us to some poses / activities but most of it was natural so she was able to capture us with the biggest smiles on our faces. She was fab communicating with my preschooler , too! Would love to have an outdoor session with her in the future. The photos themselves were fantastic. Love the lighting and the overall feel. Will be cherished forever.”

What to Expect from your in-home photoshoot:

Your session will be relaxed and fun, full of movement, connection and natural moments.

| Playful, child-led photography – I guide you with gentle prompts to encourage laughter, closeness, and real emotions.

| A session that feels effortless – You don’t need to “perform” or get everything perfect. Just be with your family—snuggling, playing, sharing love—and I’ll take care of the rest.

| A keepsake of today, for tomorrow – These images are more than photos; they are your family’s story, preserved for generations.

In-home sessions take place anywhere in your home that has good window light! We’ll work in the spaces that feel most natural—whether that’s the living room, bedroom, or even a cosy spot by the kitchen table.

Not sure what to wear? I’ll send you a detailed guide with styling tips to help you feel confident, relaxed, and perfectly put together on the day.

3. Enjoy the Experience

On the day of your session, all you need to do is be yourselves. No need for a showroom-perfect home—just good window light. Your space doesn’t have to be flawlessly decorated; what truly matters is the warmth, love, and connection within it.

FAQ

How far in advance should I book?

I recommend reaching out and starting the process 3-4 months before you would like your session. I only take on a limited number of clients each month. If you're looking for a sooner date, no worries! The calendar is always flexible and I will do my best to accommodate your needs.

what areas do you cover?

I am based in Cheltenham, and cover the surrounding areas within Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Oxfordshire. Travel over 20 miles of GL20 will incur a travel fee applied to your package.

How many people are included in a family shoot?

In-home sessions are perfect for capturing the depth of family connections, including the love shared across generations. If you’d like to include grandparents, we’ll create an intimate environment where everyone can relax and share in the beauty of togetherness. Sessions automatically include up to 6 family members, with the option to add more for a small fee of £25 per person.

What should we wear?

Once you've booked your session, you will recieve a client experience guide which covers everything you need to know including styling. It tells you what colours to consider, styles of clothing and fabrics.

Also there are some beautiful pieces in the client wardrobe that you "mama" can borrow. I may also have items for your littlest loves if you are stuck, please ask!

What time will my shoot be & how long will it last?

I typically suggest that in-home sessions are held in in the morning to make the most out of the natural light. Family sessions typically last between 60-90 minutes.

What if things don't go to plan?

Life with kids is unpredictable, and that’s perfectly okay. Your home is the ideal setting to adapt to whatever mood your children are in, and I’m ready for all of it. If little ones get grumpy, we shift gears. If the weather outside isn’t cooperating for any planned outdoor photos, we stay cozy inside. The aim is to capture real-life moments, beautifully and effortlessly.
