Joy. Love. Kindness. Belonging.

Ryan, Sam, Nicholas and Amara are all of these things and so much more. I love being with them, and being reminded of the quiet, gentle love that holds their family together.

I love the little things. The hands. The glances.

I love the little things.
The hands. The glances. The nervous smiles.
The people around you, showing their love in a thousand different ways.

All the quiet layers beneath the beautiful moments.

the ones I would frame. I’ve photographed a lot o

the ones I would frame.

I’ve photographed a lot of babies over the years, but multiples have always had a special place in my work. I once taught a workshop in Perth with twin girls, Angelina and Jennifer, and another in London with nine-month-old triplets.

There’s a certain magic to photographing multiples. The relationships, the tiny interactions, the way they move together and apart. It’s about knowing when to step in and when to let things unfold.

So I thought it was time to share a little more of that. I’m planning an online twin newborn workshop for October/November, sharing how I approach photographing twins and the families around them.

If you’d like the details when it’s ready, leave your email below.

Winter blues ~ Dec/Jan 2024. Our first European wi $Winter blues ~ Dec/Jan 2024. Our first European winter together. On Film. I’m in none of these photographs, and none of them are in print. I used to shoot film because it went straight to print. But as the kids get older, the mental load spreads out in a way that’s hard to explain. I have the system and labs ready. I just lack the focus. If this were a work deadline, it would be done. Instead, five batches of family rolls are gathering digital dust. These school holidays, I’m just forcing myself to print *one*. Just one album. If your focus is totally fractured, how do you trick your brain into finishing a single personal task? Would love to hear what helps you “get it done”! #35mmfilm #familyphotography #travelphotography #documentaryphotography #printyourphotos$

La vita ti mette davanti quello che vuole, quando

La vita ti mette davanti quello che vuole, quando vuole, e a volte è davvero difficile.

Elena, penso spesso a te e alla tua storia. A quanto hai dovuto affrontare, a quanto ti è stato chiesto di sopportare e a quante volte hai dovuto trovare la forza per andare avanti.

E poi guardo queste fotografie.

Vedo te. Vedo tua mamma sempre accanto a te. Vedo i tuoi due bambini meravigliosi. Vedo la vita che c’è oggi...l’amore, le risate, il caos, la quotidianità.

E penso che forse questo è quello che significa arrivare dall’altra parte. Non perfetti. Non senza ferite. Semplicemente qui.

Spero che un giorno, guardando queste fotografie, tu possa vedere non solo i tuoi bambini così come erano, ma anche te stessa. La donna che sei stata in tutti questi anni e tutto quello che hai costruito nonostante tutto.

VVB ❤️

We can ooh and ahh over photographs on our screens

We can ooh and ahh over photographs on our screens every day, but honestly…I want them on paper, in our hands, on our walls and in our albums. Where they’re meant to be.

Albums all the way in 2027. Who’s with me?
