Creative, natural portrait photography by Emma Godfrey
Specialising in creative, outdoor, lifestyle portraits which capture your personality.
A natural, flexible and relaxed approach to the special moments in your life: engagement photography, wedding photography, maternity & newborn photography, family photography.
Family & Children's Photography
It can be hard to get your kids to sit still long enough to get a decent photo of everyone, so let me do it! Family sessions are designed to be fun for everyone. Choose a favourite activity and, in between playing, there will be moments of quiet where we can get that classic family photo – maybe even with everyone looking towards the camera. Allowing your kids to be themselves, to play up to the camera for an hour, gives me a chance to capture their wonderful personalities. Take the opportunity to relax and just be with your family enjoying a walk or a picnic together.

Maternity & Baby's First Year Photography
From bump to first birthday, capture those precious moments as your little one comes into the world and makes his first steps. All maternity and baby sessions are scheduled around you and your baby’s needs. The aim is to have fun in a safe and relaxed environment, with the option to shoot at home or outdoors depending on the season. Display your images in a beautiful album combining images from each of your sessions. Order birth announcements or thank you cards designed especially for you. Share your special moments online with low resolution images and keep your favourites in high res.
