Relaxed Maternity, Newborn & Family beach photography in Dorset
Meet Sophie
BEACH Family and newborn photography in Dorset for the salty souls
I identify as Mum. My girls are my whole world, Motherhood has shaped every part of who I am, and how I photograph families. My eldest is 14 and I have 13 years of experience as a photographer now, so motherhood really has been woven into my photography journey. I specialise in capturing the raw beauty of maternity, newborn and family moments on the beach, all year round.
I live by the sea on the south coast of Hampshire, UK. My family embrace slow and simple days.
I work on the stunning beaches of Dorset, where I love to create timeless, relaxed imagery with the natural beauty of the coast as your backdrop.
Warm & natural newborn and family photography in Dorset
My work is rooted in connection, the kind that unfolds naturally when you’re comfortable, present, and simply being yourselves. After more than a decade of photographing families across Southampton and Dorset, I’ve learnt that the most meaningful images aren’t posed or perfected.
They happen in the in-between moments. The way you hold each other, the small gestures you don’t even realise you’re making, the laughter you don’t think anyone notices. That’s what I’m here for. That’s what I love.
If you love soft golden hour light, salty air & relaxed storytelling, you’re in the right place
My passion lies in capturing wholehearted imagery.
From newborn cuddles to the beautiful chaos of family life, I’m here to document this season you’re in.

Musings of a beach-goer
“We had the absolute best experience with Sophie.”
“We hate having our pictures taken but we recently had our baby girl and wanted to capture some shots of her in the newborn stage. Sophie was amazing from the start. She gave us suggestions all the way through and made us feel so comfortable for the shot. We are completely in love with our photoshoot and could not thank Sophie enough! We will certainly be using her skills again!”
