Hey, I’m Sophie. A maternity newborn & family photographer based in Southampton

CONTACT ME

Mother, photographer & beach lover

I live by the sea on the south coast of Hampshire, UK, with my two Daughters and the love of my life. We embrace slow and simple days - cooking up wholesome food and spending time together around the table. This extends to our loved ones and friends; we love to host, give me any excuse to put together a spread and create a beautiful table, and I’m all in.

When I’m not in the kitchen or behind my camera, you’ll find me walking with our dog Harvey and spending quality time with my girls. We love to get away for a holiday whenever we can, somewhere with a sandy beach.

I also have a deep love for restoring antique furniture, Victorian pine in particular. You’ll often find me mooching around antique shops or scrolling Facebook Marketplace in search of a hidden gem. Give me an electric sander and a pot of wax, and I’m completely in my element, breathing new life into well-loved pieces.

Life is simple, full and beautiful - I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Newborn photographer in Southampton

Dorset & West Sussex beach family photographer

Photography has my heart; I live and breathe it. Either side of the camera I’m happy, I adore capturing memories with mine and for you.

I have been photographing bumps, newborns and families in Southampton and Dorset for over 13 years now and still, every story feels new. Meeting beautiful pregnant Mamas, loved-up couples and fun carefree families, hanging out on the beach bare feet at sunset and capturing moments you’ll never want to forget is truly a dream.

I specialise in family photography on the beautiful beaches of Dorset and West Sussex, coastal sessions that feel effortless, honest and full of connection. If my style speaks to you, I’d love to connect. Let’s create something special together.

Lets have a chat

I can’t wait to play in the dunes, listen to the waves, and learn more about you and your family.

“Sophie has found her vocation in life.”

“ Not only were the end results better than we could have hoped, she was so caring and gentle whilst taking the shots. Do not hesitate if you're looking for moments you can keep forever.”

I usually find January such a drag, but this year I enjoyed January. I leaned into the slowing down, the dark early evenings and permission to chill. A lovely gentle start to the year. Now welcome February, with a little more light. Summer beach shoo
I had such a lovely evening with beautiful Cassie, capturing her pregnancy. 💕 I love that my clients are happy to chill, go with the flow and just be in the moment. It’s the way all of my shoots go.. being at the beach definitely adds to it,
Can we bring our dog? The answer is always yes. In fact, I beg you to! 😍
So glad I followed my heart and niched into beach shoots. Watching my diary fill with maternity, newborn and family sessions by the sea all year round, I know I’ve made the right decision. 🥰
