Your Local Sheffield Family Photog
Capturing Art through Play
My photography approach is quite playful.
All of my sessions are CHILD-LED. We follow what the kids are interested in doing, ensuring that everyone is relaxed and comfortable. We’ll capture family group shots without the awkward posing and cheesing.
Everything captured on a photoshoot is done through play, games, and genuine family interaction and connection.
Play hard, laugh fully, rest if we can.
My family loves to hike, explore, and adventure around the Peak District near our home in Sheffield. We have slowly built (and are continuing to build) many precious memories here. We moved to Sheffield when I was in the third trimester of my pregnancy and I gave birth to our little baby at Jessops. You can read about the birth of S here.
I’m originally from North Carolina and Florida, so now you don’t have to try and guess my accent. I’ve been living in the UK with my wife for almost 10 years. We met on our travels in New Zealand and have been together since. We’re a husky household with two husks, Kenzie and Jax. We’ve got a little boy who is incredible and we all like to “awoo” together.
Let’s play!
Your family might be blood related or a chosen family. Whatever configuration of family you have, it’s a shared world that’s explored together.
You learn together, you grow together, you weave yourselves into each others stories and memories.
I know it’s a bit of a cliché, but time really does fly. When you’re in the thick of it, doing the day-to-day, it doesn’t feel like it, but one day you stop and think “when did they get so BIG” “when did they stop hugging me before nursery/school drop off” and part of you yearns for that again.
Photoshoots are a tool to create an experience and to create space for new memories that can last forever. So you can look back at “that little button nose” or remember the way they would run into your arms and squeeze you as hard as they could.
