Southampton family photographer

Natural & Relaxed

I’m a mother and photographer based in Southampton, Hampshire, but you’ll now find me almost exclusively on the Dorset coast capturing growing bumps, new babies and laid back families against the beauty of the beach. My shoots are calm and gently guided, so you can truly be yourselves. I’m all about capturing those real moments, the love, the connection and the laughter as they happen naturally. If you love soft golden hour light, salty air and relaxed storytelling, you’re in the right place.

GET TO KNOW SOPHIE

Warm and heart led

My work is rooted in connection, the kind that unfolds naturally when you’re comfortable, present, and simply being yourselves. After more than 11 years photographing families, parents-to-be, and newborns across Southampton and Dorset, I know 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.

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! - Kirsty
