Every day, I go outside and see some perfect light, or an amazing blossom on a tree, and I immediately want to go out and shoot. I've always been this way, and sometimes I pinch myself that I actually get to fulfil this creative urge in my day job.

Photographing your family outdoors is all about the fun, relaxed, spontaneous stuff that happens when you and your kids are unleashed. I don't like to put people in a spot, and do the 'say cheese' thing, but rather offer a series of prompts and fun games that will help me to capture you authentically. Jumping, running, dancing, grass-angel-making are all encouraged! You don't need to be extroverted and automatically comfortable in front of the camera however - it's my job to bring that out.

I shoot early in the morning or in the late afternoon (evening in summer) to capture your family in the best light possible. I've been in Oxfordshire for 18 years and my brain is crammed full of romantic, dramatic, and charming little nooks and crannies all over the county. You might have a location that is special to you, too, and I'm happy to shoot there if it's within 15 miles of Oxford.

Outdoors doesn't have to mean green, green, green, open fields or woods however. Maybe you're visiting or studying in Oxford and you want something to remind you of the beauty of the city and its architecture. I can take you on a walk around the city and capture you in the places you love best.
