My philosophy

Capture Your Family as You Are

Family photos don't need to be awkward with everyone standing in a line, someone looking away, that forced smile that doesn't reach anyone's eyes. No one looks like themselves, and no one's having fun. So I shoot family sessions differently. I'm looking for the moments when you're actually together. Laughing, being a bit silly, and just being yourselves.


When you look back at these photos in five years, ten years, you'll recognize yourselves. Not the polished versions you think you're supposed to be, but the actual people you were that day. That's what makes them matter.

Who am I?

American-born, Essex-based portrait photographer specialising in headshots and family photography. Working across Essex and London.


I was introduced to photography by my grandfather, a Southern Baptist minister, who would marry members of his congregation, then take their wedding photos and develop them in his bathroom at home.


Lucky for my partner, we have digital cameras these days.

Family Photos

"We both felt really relaxed and he doesn't like having his photo taken so I was very impressed. The photos themselves were relaxed and casual and you can see we were having fun. They captured the day perfectly. My son even said it was fun which was unexpected! Would definitely recommend!"
