For the years you'll want back.
Relaxed, natural family photography, in Surrey, Sussex & Kent
Your family, just as you are.
My Story
I'm Jo, a family photographer based in Lingfield, on the Surrey, Sussex and Kent border.
Since becoming a mum, I've become even more aware of how quickly family life changes. My daughter is growing up faster than I'd like, and the photographs I treasure most are the ones that take me straight back to a particular time in our lives.
That's what I want to give the families I photograph. A lovely mix of everyone together, looking at the camera, and the little moments that happen naturally along the way.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me with my family, walking Bella (our labradoodle) or getting stuck into a good psychological thriller. And I've watched Dirty Dancing more times than I should probably admit to.
No perfect behaviour required.
You don’t need children who sit still, smile on command or do exactly what they’re told. There’s no pressure for anyone to be on their best behaviour.
My sessions are relaxed and gently guided, with a mixture of photographs looking at the camera and plenty of time for children to explore, play and be themselves.
I’ll give you direction when you need it, so you’re never left wondering what to do, but nothing needs to feel stiff or overly posed.
If someone needs a snack, a cuddle or a few minutes to warm up, that’s absolutely fine. We’ll get the photographs of everyone together, but we’ll also leave plenty of room for all the little things that happen in between.
What to Expect
Before Your Session
During Your session
After Your Session
Once you're booked, I'll help you choose a location and give you all the information you need to prepare, including advice on what to wear. You don't need to turn up knowing what to do. That's my job.
We’ll keep things relaxed. I’ll gently guide you when needed, but there’ll be plenty of time for walking, playing, cuddling and letting the children be themselves. We’ll get those lovely photographs of everyone together too, without spending the whole session posing for the camera.
Within two weeks, you’ll receive a fully edited online gallery to look through at your own pace. You can choose your favourite images included with your package and, if you fall in love with more, you’ll have the option to upgrade.
Pricing
No time limits and no rushing. Whichever option you choose, we'll take the time we need to get a lovely variety of photographs of your family.
