Family Personal and Life Events

Family, Personal & Life Events

Story-led photography for real people and real moments.

Studio & Location Portraits

Photos that feel like you. Whether it’s just you, your kids, or your whole crew — these sessions are designed to be easy, honest and beautifully human. We don’t do stiff poses or awkward smiles. We work with light, connection, and calm direction to tell your story with intention.

These shoots can happen in my Oldham studio, or we can meet somewhere meaningful to you — a local park, your home, the moors. You’ll have space to relax, chat, and view your images straight after the session. Most people leave feeling lighter, prouder, and more themselves than when they arrived.

Starting from: £150 (tailored quote based on time, plan and location; extra images available after viewing)

What’s Included:

  • Up to 2 hours of shoot time
  • Calm, guided direction throughout
  • Tethered live preview in studio (see images as we shoot!)
  • Signature edits in my style
  • Viewing + image selection right after the shoot
  • Optional upgrades: extra images, albums, or wall art
“I usually hate photos of myself, but this felt like therapy. I saw myself in a way I never have before.”
– Jade, Oldham

Life Events

Moments you never want to forget, captured quietly and beautifully. Whether you’re saying “I do,” welcoming a child into your family, saying goodbye to a loved one, or celebrating a milestone, I’ll be there to tell the story — gently, respectfully, and with full heart.

I work in a documentary style, which means no pressure, no forced poses. Just honest moments as they unfold — the glances, the hugs, the atmosphere. These images become your record, your memories, and your legacy.

Starting from: £250 (coverage quoted by time, travel and plan; albums and wall art available)

What’s Included:

  • Natural, documentary-style photography
  • Professional editing in my signature look
  • Full gallery of digital images delivered via online gallery
  • Optional add-ons: albums, wall art, extra edits
“You were like a friend in the room, not just a photographer. These images mean the world to us.”
– Louise, Manchester

Not sure if your event fits into a box? Just reach out — I’ve covered everything from garden proposals to retirement dinners, and I’d love to create a package that fits your day perfectly. See FAQs for more.

Creative Portraits

This is the bold chapter. The one where you rewrite your own story, capture your transformation, or bring a powerful idea to life. These shoots are intimate, collaborative, and artistically led. Together we’ll shape a visual experience that’s raw, symbolic, and deeply personal — with styling, storytelling, and meaning baked into every frame.

We might use props, textures, or layered symbolism. You might come with a concept or trust me to craft one with you. Either way, you’ll leave with something timeless — part portrait, part artwork, all you.

Starting from: £1500 (concepts quoted by design time, set-build and finishes)

  • Pre-shoot concept call + design consultation
  • 2-hour studio shoot
  • Signature fine-art edits
  • Optional wall art, albums and extras after viewing
“I booked this to reclaim myself after a hard year. I got more than a photo — I got my power back.”
– Kareema, Oldham

Let’s build something meaningful. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to wear — just bring your story. I’ll help shape the rest.
