A little about me

Im Nicola

I am a mum of 2 beautiful little humans I have been in the children photography industry for 14 years !I love capturing your families special moments and creating photo memories to be shared for generations to come.
 

I’m a passionate newborn and family photographer who truly believes that the best photographs come from genuine moments, not forced poses. I thrive on bringing positive energy, patience and calm to every session, helping both children and parents feel at ease from the very beginning.

Having worked in the children’s photography industry for over 14 years, I understand how unpredictable little ones can be – and that’s absolutely okay. Every session is led at your family’s pace, allowing personalities to shine and real connections to unfold naturally.

Happy Client

I’m proud to have built relationships with families who return time and time again, trusting me to capture their most precious memories.

Mobile photography, I can come to you

I offer mobile photography, working with you to make your shoot as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Being in familiar surroundings often helps babies and children feel more settled, whether that’s in your home, at the park or even in the pool — we can make it work.
