No posing, a little gentle encouragement and direction, but mostly observation, conversation and the occasional sound of a shutter. Natural smiles, meaningful interactions and otherwise unseen moments. These are the core elements of documentary style photoshoots. If the thought of saying ‘cheese’ through gritted teeth into a camera makes you cringe then we will definitely get along!
Documentary Family Photographer Cotswolds
I photograph families across the Cotswolds, South Gloucestershire, Bristol and beyond, but am closest to Stroud, Tetbury, Cirencester, Cheltenham, Nailsworth and the surrounding Gloucestershire villages.
I prefer to capture real connections. Sometimes this means suggesting interactions and conversations. Sometimes it means simply standing back and observing, only taking photos when the magical moments appear (which they always do when given the space!). My aim is for you to leave a photoshoot with me feeling seen as your true selves and feeling more connected!

Let’s work together…
As a lifestyle photographer I combine documentary photography with occasional creative direction to capture a combination of candid and ‘styled’ images, telling the story of your family, event or business in a way that will still feel incredibly authentic.
