Families

I've been photographing families for over 18 years. Growing up in a big family with eight siblings, and now having a daughter of my own, I've always been surrounded by kids, laughter and chaos.

I know every family is different, and I don't expect anyone to sit perfectly still or smile on cue. My sessions are relaxed, easy-going and fun. I'll guide you when you need it, but mostly I just let your family be yourselves. The best photos happen when you're relaxed, connected and having fun together.

Kind words from my clients

Kind words from my clients

  • Vicky is simply amazing! She has this incredible knack for making you feel totally relaxed and comfortable during the shoot. Her photos didn’t just capture the moments & the setting; they captured the emotions and connections between us. The quality of her work is second to none, we now have these beautiful high quality photographs of our family that we will cherish forever. If you are looking for a professional yet gentle & relaxed photographer who delivers stunning images, Vicky is your go-to!

  • My biggest worry was that the photos would look staged rather than natural- with Vicky this was not the case, she had a vision in mind, was able to direct and capture images so perfectly. Vicky has such a calm and relaxed energy that I didn’t feel awkward or pushed into doing something that didn’t feel natural. My favourite part of course is seeing how Vicky was able to capture precious moments with my family and am now proud to have these in my home! I had never been one to think I needed photos taken, but being a mum I’m always the one behind the camera, putting myself in front of the camera is a big change for me, but one I wouldn’t regret!

    Hayley

  • If you are thinking of getting some photos done, DO IT! My photos with Vicky were just perfect. My kids were dreading the photo shoot but we all had so much fun and the results were awesome!

    Bonnie

  • We couldn’t be happier with our family photos! From the moment we arrived, the whole experience felt relaxed, natural, and completely stress-free. As a family who usually feels awkward in front of the camera, we were amazed at how comfortable and at ease we felt throughout the session. There were plenty of laughs, lots of genuine moments, and it never felt forced or posed. The outdoor setting was beautiful, and the photographer captured our family so authentically. The photos exceeded all our expectations—they are stunning, full of personality, and perfectly reflect who we are as a family. We now have so many beautiful memories to treasure for years to come. We highly recommend anyone looking to book family photos. The photos were brilliant! Will definitely be booking Vicky again!

  • I had the most incredible maternity and newborn photography session with Vicky, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Vicky made me feel so comfortable and at ease in every shot. The results were nothing short of amazing. Every single image is a perfect blend of warmth and love. I cannot wait to book Vicky to capture the growth of my family and cannot recommend her enough.

The photos feel honest and unique, and she really matched each image to our personalities perfectly. We’re so happy with how they turned out and would definitely recommend her.
