Kent Family Photographer Specialising in Natural Outdoor & At-Home Photography
Capture your family exactly as they are – full of personality, laughter and genuine connection. As a family photographer in Kent, I create relaxed outdoor and at-home photography sessions where children are free to explore, play and simply be themselves. There's no pressure for perfect smiles or unnatural poses; instead, I focus on the moments that make your family unique, creating natural, timeless photographs you'll love looking back on for years to come.
Based in Ashford, I photograph families across Kent, including Tenterden, Folkestone, Hythe, Romney Marsh, Canterbury and Maidstone. Whether we're wandering through one of Kent's beautiful outdoor locations or documenting everyday moments in the comfort of your home, every session is designed to feel calm, enjoyable and completely centred around your family.

A Relaxed Experience from Start to Finish
Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to make your experience effortless, enjoyable and completely tailored to your family.
Plan With Confidence
Every booking includes my exclusive location guide, styling advice and support to help you choose the perfect setting and feel fully prepared before your session.
Enjoy The Moment
Forget awkward posing or asking children to sit still. Sessions are relaxed, child-led and filled with exploring, playing and genuine moments together.
Relive It All
Your carefully edited online gallery will be filled with natural, heartfelt photographs that tell your family's story and are ready to download, share and enjoy for years to come.
“We had a family photo shoot with Jess and couldn't be happier with the pictures! She provided loads and every single one is gorgeous. Our toddler was being particularly defiant but she was really chilled and still managed to capture the moments when he was happy. Will definitely be booking again.”

Choose the Right Photography Package
For You
I like to keep things simple when it comes to the logistics, with just a few main packages to choose from. Whether you're documenting your baby's first weeks, updating your annual family photographs or gathering generations together, there's a session designed to fit your family.
​
Each package can be set in a location you love around Kent or even in your own home for the ultimate relaxed vibe. All families are completely unique so if there is not a photography package that suits your requirements, please do get in contact to discuss an option that is right for you.
​

​
Although the majority of my work is with families and pets, I would love to add some variety to my portfolio so please get in touch if you have any other photography projects that you would like to collaborate on.
Forest, Beach, Countryside or Meadow – The Choice Is Yours
Outdoor sessions are a wonderful way to capture your family surrounded by the beauty of nature. From the peaceful forests with soft light filtering through the trees, to open countryside views of that stretch for miles, each location offers its own unique charm. A golden meadow is perfect for playful, carefree photos full of warmth and colour, while the beaches provide a timeless setting with wide horizons, sandy toes, and sea breeze adventures.
​
Every family receives exclusive access to my carefully curated location guide, featuring some of Kent's most beautiful outdoor settings. With photographs, practical information and seasonal recommendations, it takes the guesswork out of choosing a location so you can feel confident you've found the perfect place for your session.
​
No matter which setting you choose, outdoor photography creates a relaxed atmosphere where children can run, explore, and be themselves – resulting in natural, heartfelt images you’ll treasure forever.

Your
baby's
Home-coming
Heartfelt newborn moments, right where your story begins.
Homecoming newborn photography sessions beautifully capture your baby’s first days at home. There is nothing more cosy than a newborn bubble, so keep it that little bit longer and let me come to you.
In a relaxed, natural style, I document the love, connection, and little details of family life as you welcome your newborn. No posing, no pressure – just honest, heartfelt memories in the comfort of your own home.​

Not just for newborns
Your baby grows and changes so quickly – every stage brings new expressions, giggles, and milestones worth remembering. At-home baby photography is a beautiful way to capture these moments naturally, whether your little one is three months, six months, or just celebrating their first birthday.
​
Unlike posed studio sessions, these photoshoots take place in the comfort of your own home where your baby feels most relaxed. I capture the everyday magic – playtime on the floor, cuddles on the sofa, bath time splashes, or even those first wobbly steps. The result is a gallery of heartfelt, genuine images that tell the story of your family life.​
​
Wherever you are in Kent, I'll save you the trouble of travelling and meet you where you are.

Timeless Black & White
Black and white images have a unique way of highlighting emotion, connection, and the little details that matter most. Without the distraction of colour, the focus shifts to expressions, textures, and the genuine bonds between you and your loved ones.
Whether it’s a tender newborn cuddle, a quiet family moment, or a burst of laughter, black and white photography adds a timeless, artistic quality to your gallery – creating images that will never go out of style.
They are especially ideal for displaying at home, adding a classic, elegant touch to your walls.
​
Add some black and whites to your package for that extra special finish.
"We had our first family photos taken by Jess during a Father's Day minishoot. With both a 5 month old baby and camera-adverse husband in tow, Jess put us all at ease. Online gallery turned around quickly and we genuinely found it so difficult to select our photos as she had taken so many beautiful shots. Would thoroughly recommend - we will be booking again next year!"

Bring the Whole Family Along
There’s nothing quite like having the whole family together — grandparents, siblings, cousins, and even the beloved family pets! Extended family sessions are a wonderful way to celebrate those special connections and capture the laughter, love, and little moments that make your family unique.
Whether it’s generations gathered in one place or a fun mix of families coming together, these sessions are relaxed, natural, and full of genuine smiles. It’s all about creating beautiful memories you’ll treasure for years to come.​
​
These sessions are also the perfect opportunity to celebrate the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren. There’s something truly heart-warming about capturing those giggles, cuddles, and quiet moments shared between generations.
A grandparent and grandchild photoshoot makes a beautiful keepsake — and if you’re looking for a thoughtful present, my photography gift vouchers are a lovely way to give them a gift they’ll cherish forever.
