ABOUT ME
WELCOME
Hello! I’m so glad you’re here! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my website. I’m Helen. I live in Walton-on-Thames in Surrey with my husband, our two gorgeous children and our cat. Photography is my passion. I am inspired by nature, by beautiful light but most of all by the little moments of connection between family members.
To me, the most simple of moments are the most special ones. I love beautiful portraits with sparkling eyes and natural expression. I love to capture moments of connection that pass so quickly but that you want to keep in your mind forever. The moment you gently brush a wisp of hair out of your toddler’s eyes… the hands that carefully cradle your tiny newborn… the way your child’s eyes crinkle up at the edges when you pull that face that makes them giggle.
Capturing moments like these is what makes me truly happy. Using beautiful, natural light to freeze these moments in a relaxed, genuine way is what makes my job so special.
A little bit more about me…
- I love curling up on the sofa watching old films I’ve seen hundreds of times, dressing up for afternoon tea or cocktails and family country walks where no-one complains about being too tired to go any further!
- I used to be a primary school teacher and love learning about each child’s unique personality and what makes them tick.
- I am happiest when everyone around me is happy! This means I work really hard to make sure my clients absolutely love every aspect of their family photography experience.
LOVE OUR PHOTOS
I can’t recommend Helen enough – she is an incredibly talented photographer and brilliant at what she does. She was great from the first time we contacted her to the end in sending us our beautiful photos.
Helen is so lovely and friendly and put us all at ease during the shoot (which is not easy with a 10 month old baby who doesn’t like being photographed!) she made us all relax and the result was that she captured beautiful natural shots of us as a family that we couldn’t have got without her! We just love our photos!
