I'm 44, a mum to Pauline and Levi, married to Nick. We moved to Hong Kong in 2010 on a whim, turning it into a 12-year adventure on Lantau for its nature before moving to Thailand in 2022. Now, we split our time between both worlds!
With a background in Graphic Design, I founded a design studio in 2002. After 20 years, I shifted to documenting art and music events, drawn to capturing people and their connections. That led me to family and portrait photography.
For me, it's about capturing the feeling, not just the look. I aim to evoke the same emotion when you see your photos. I'm dedicated to delivering the best, making sure you know what to expect and feel ready for our session.
If you want an elaborate, super-posed shoot, I might not be your photographer–and that's fine! But if you prefer a keen observer with an eye for detail and intuition, I'd be honoured to capture your family's moments.

Aaaaaaaaaaand another selfie with my daughter and I because in most of the photos my husband takes of me and the kids (eventually, after asking) I have my eyes closed or something weird going on with my face. And this is exactly why I want to take your and your kids photos!
You are the memory keeper and life collector. Yet there are probably not many photos of your kids with you in it (apart from the odd selfie). You & them, living life, you know, the usual stuff. Which will become a significant thing in the future. The moments that seem so ordinary right now but will be treasured later in their life.
So get in the frame and leave evidence that the mum your kids know & love was there.

Do you cringe a little at the idea of a family photo session because you have only seen or been part of stiff & mostly set-up photo sessions? And then all that energy that goes into finding the right outfits, briefing the family, hoping for the best that the kids will behave, etc. is giving you a headache?
Well, none of that is needed for our shoot.
Lifestyle sessions (and even more so a full "Day in the Life") will fit into your life, not the other way around.
They are a candid, authentic, and unscripted way of documenting your family. You'll have more time to focus on each other, be your real selves, and less time worrying about looking or behaving perfectly.
All while I make sure to help where help is wanted, making sure you shine your brightest. My final galleries are usually 80% candids and 20% classic (yet fresh) portraits.

Your parents and grandparents probably have an old family album somewhere, right? And remember how much you loved looking through them as a kid?
It's so easy to leave pictures on phones and laptops, thinking, "One day, I'll make an album for them." Digital files seem convenient, but they are not made for holding on to or flipping through while cuddling on the sofa. What will your kids have to show of this time in their lives when they are your age? Will someone pull out a hard drive and look for files to share?

In other words, PRINT YOUR MEMORIES. Let's create a beautiful legacy album and wall prints to be treasured for many years.
I will give you options and offer printed products for your photos. As a professional photographer, I have access to specialist printers and bookbinders to ensure great, long-lasting quality. Let me take care of this for you. I will give more details in my welcome guide, which you'll receive after booking.

How it works
1
LET'S CHAT
Get in touch via email, WhatsApp or a phone call to have a quick chat. I'm not a great sales person - so I will explain the process, answer questions you might have and that's it.
2
LOCATION
Where would you like to have your photos taken? Are there places that hold special meaning? Your favourite ice cream stall? The rock your kids love to climb at the beach? I'm happy to suggest locations but if there is any more special place than others, please share with me!

FORMALITIES
Is the session fee paid to secure your date? Check.
Done, you are booked. Yep, that's all there is.

CHECK IN
A few days before our session I will check in with you. You can ask me anything that might have come up by then. If you are unsure about outfits, send me pictures and I'll share my thoughts. Any special need we should take into consideration, let me know.
5
THE BIG DAY
I usually take the formal shots first to make everyone relax and get them out of the way.
After that, your only job is to enjoy our time together, follow my (sometimes weird) suggestions & have fun! It's as simple as that.

WAITING
I'll work on your files as soon as possible. Selecting and editing takes, on average, 2 weeks.

YOUR GALLERY
Once I have finished culling, editing, and putting your photos together to present to you, I will reach out to let you know I sent out your images.
I will prepare a custom slideshow with highlights of our session. Please grab a cup (or a glass), get the family together and enjoy seeing yourselves through my lens!
Once you have seen your images, you can decide which package you want to keep. There are three different options: Basic, Standard and Premium.
As an early bird bonus and reward for prompt decision-makers, I offer a special deal on package upgrades for the first three days. After that, you can still buy images for the price of a single photo or pick a package without the discount.
Once you have selected a package and paid for it, you will receive an email with access to your gallery. You can download from there, share your images, purchase beautiful products and design an album.

SHARE THE LOVE
After pouring so much love into your pictures, I'm often as excited as my families. Reviews and referrals are essential for a small business like mine. They also help other families find the right photographer, so please tell your equally awesome friends!
I always appreciate a google or Facebook review and will most likely ask for one. You can see some here.
