Family adventures in wide open spaces
Hi, I’m Joanna. I love working outdoors and photographing people as they interact with each other. Natural and authentic.
I photograph people as they interact with each other. Natural and authentic. Photography is my way to express how I see things and it connects me with people, their unique stories and the world around us.

The experience
Natural emotions in natural environments.
I document people as they interact with each other. Natural and authentic. So before the session it’s time for you to ask any questions you might have to ensure you feel ready for a fun and rewarding photo shoot.
My role during the 2-hour session is to make you comfortable, relaxed and as natural as possible so my photography can freeze the present in the moment; capturing stunning images of love and connection that become timeless visual recollections and impressions of a particular point in time.
I do not pose you during the session, but I will guide you gently the way to look the most relaxed.
After the session you will receive a complementary digital image as part of the session fee, and an online gallery to view all your images and product packages.

Top FAQs For Children & Family Photo Shoots
Frequently Asked Questions
This is something we can discuss as it really depends on what you want from your photo shoot, and sometimes a combination of both outdoor and indoor locations can work. Being outdoors provides natural light, space for the children/family/couples to feel relaxed, and free to roam around interacting with nature; perfect for most photo shoots.
If you would like a photo shoot in the home then we can discuss your requirements and the best time of day depending on when and where your house gets the best natural light.
Do have a look at the location blogs for my favourite outdoor locations across London.
Photo shoots need to be fun, relaxing, and in a trusting environment where natural emotions, interactions, and feelings are captured.
I have years of experience photographing, children, fidgety couples, and camera shy families. That’s why I love photo shoot sessions that are not forced, but the pace set by you, gently guided by me, and a fun-filled experience.
The techniques I’ve learned and developed over the years help to ensure you feel relaxed, comfortable, and being yourself. I will never make you feel silly, but I will make you smile, naturally.
I find it useful to chat to them before hand emphasising how much fun is involved. Explain what they should expect from the 2-hour shoot, and how we will play games and that it will not be posed if outdoors.
I will only direct gently if needed, but my style is trying to get the children not to pose; evolving the photo shoot organically as they interact naturally with the environment.
We will have a chat before hand to see if we can incorporate any of their favourite games into the session, and we’ll employ a range of techniques to get your children laughing and having fun.
We must always plan for adverse weather, and not to worry if it does rain on the day of your photo shoot. We can stay inside or head into the outdoors as planned as rainy photos can be just as beautiful.
And think of the additional colour and accessories we can use, from hats and brollies to gloves and wellies.
I photograph children, couples, families, and weddings throughout the year. Each season has something very special to offer with the different natural light and flora. Studio photo shoots can be booked for any time of year, no matter the weather.
I have written a blog to give you an insight into the unique experiences and photographic results a photo shoot in each season can provide.
Keeping it simple and comfortable are key. I have written a blog that will help guide you, and a Pinterest Board for ideas.
Above all, these six top tips will help:
- Avoid logos and cartoon characters
- Add layers and textures
- Think classic
- Be inspired by your surroundings
- Create flowing movement with dresses and scarves
- Match to anyone else in the photo shoot
What you bring on the day does depend on the location, type of photo shoot, and time of year/day. I will send you a list of things to bring in our pre-photo shoot call, but for outside sessions the fundamentals include blankets, snacks and water (more than you think you need if children are involved), a change of clothes, favourite toys (if for children), and items for adverse weather (brolly, wellies, and raincoat).
Oh, and more snacks. So important to keep children energised and involved for the 2-hour session.
I will send you an email with a free high resolution digital image a week after the photo shoot has taken place.
The email will have a link to a secure, online photo gallery and the password for you to access this gallery.
The email will also include instructions on how to select your preferred images in this gallery and how to purchase them.
