The belly, the hands, the lashes... a little boy kissing his mum.

Sometimes I think, if I could have just one photo of me and my children to do over, it would look like this.

“I kept pressing next thinking it must be the last… you truly have such a gift.”

Trish’s words and the kind of love I hope every family feels when they see their photos.

Some people you meet again and again through time.

Some people you meet again and again through time. Different seasons, same heart.

Prema’s family have trusted me for years, through change, growth, and everything in between.

After our session she wrote,
“You just get us. It’s magical.”

That’s it for me.
The quiet understanding.
The feeling that lasts.

Nikon D6 + 50mm.
Because simplicity never goes out of style 🖤

Just finished editing and delivering twelve sessio

Just finished editing and delivering twelve sessions in one week before catching the midnight flight to Hong Kong for a whirlwind 36 hours. Tired doesn’t even begin to cover it, but grateful does.

So much of what I do is about finding light, the kind that exists in between moments, in the softness of connection, in what families share without even saying a word.

Lately, though, I’ve had to admit that I’ve struggled to find that same light for myself. Life, marriage, motherhood… they’ve all asked a little too much at times, and it’s reminded me how important it is to slow down and make space for what matters most.

In 2026, I’ll be keeping things lighter. Fewer sessions, more intention, more home.

If you’ve been hoping to book, now is the time to secure one of the few.

Thank you, always, for allowing me to find the light in your stories. It’s what keeps me searching for my own. Anya xx

if you thought the next photo you took of someone

if you thought the next photo you took of someone might be the last would it change the way you shoot

would you stand a little closer
ask a little harder for that wall to come down
the one we all build just to make it through the day

would you slow down
and notice the quiet things
the breath between words
the softness we forget we carry

this is why i take the picture the way i do
because one day it might be the last
and i want it to say everything we didn’t.
