The 30 Minute Photographer
"She will make you feel comfortable no matter your experience in front of a camera, and her photos manage to capture the individuality of every person she photographs."
- Ellie
Looking for photos but are camera shy or don't have a lot of time?
I'm your girl.
Whether it's a couples session full of love and fun, a family session packed with energy and laughter, or a natural maternity session capturing the miracle of pregnancy - I have you covered.
I've nicknamed myself the 30 minute photographer when it comes to my portrait work. Why? Two main reasons:
1. I've captured over 200+ portrait sessions in my 5 years of professional photography, and I've learnt that you don't need hours to capture memories that will last for ages. Many of my clients either have young kids or they just lead busy lives - so a quick 30-45 minutes session works a treat!
2. I myself am camera shy (there's a reason I love being BEHIND the lens), so I actually do understand if you aren't confident infront of the camera, or you have a partner or family members who are shy. Our session is all about making YOU feel comfortable. No awkward poses, just natural, guided suggestions and LOADS of fun and laughter.

"She is just a genuinely wonderful human being who brings so much joy and passion to her work. (She's) a glitter bomb of glory."

"Steph has the ability to make you feel at ease immediately. She beautifully captures authentic moments with an eye for detail."
- Emma
"BUT I'M JUST SO AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA..."
Don't panic! I truly believe everyone can look good in photos.
The secret? Having fun.
No one wants stilted photos where you can feel awkwardness oozing from the images, right? Passionate about capturing the essence of you and helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera, I aim to create a peaceful & fun environment to capture those moments you want to share with your family and friends.
"Not only did she make me feel comfortable and welcome but directed me in natural ways to ensure I never felt lost."
- Ellen
"The photo shoot itself was relaxed and fun, which no doubt contributed to the natural feel and candidness of the finished product."
