Hi, I 'm Sam

A natural and relaxed family photographer.

Children grow, seasons change, and life moves quickly, photographs hold those fleeting days still, ready to be cherished for generations. This is why I learned to document my family, so that I can hold onto those memories. What started as a way to capture my own family story soon became something I wanted to share with others.

I live by the sea in colourful Margate with my husband, 12 year old boy, 5 year old girl, 2 dogs and a very slow but adorable tortoise. I first fell in love with photography when I had my son and realised how quickly moments can slip away and I have been photographing families ever since.

I am not about the stiff poses or perfect smiles, I like to capture the real you. The cuddles, the laughter, the silly moments in between. Whether it is for a special occasion or simply just to capture your life as it is, it is always the perfect reason to capture your loved ones as they are. The end result is always photos that are full of life and show your loved ones in a way that you will always want to remember them.

Parenthood is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you capture and keep them vivid.

As mums we are so often the ones behind the camera, making sure everyone else's memories are captured, we can forget to step into the frame ourselves. I know how easy it is to do as I am guilty of it too, but here is the thing; one day your children will look back at these photos and they will want to see you in them.

Not just the big milestones and yearly family portrait all staring at the camera, but the everyday moments, the cuddles on the sofa, giggles in the garden and the way you held their hand. Being in the frame isn't about looking perfect, it's about being part of the story. These are the memories your little (and big ones) will treasure forever. The warmth, the love and the proof that you were there in the middle of all the fun times too.

By booking me to capture your family, you get to stay fully in the moment, no stopping the fun to grab your phone for a quick selfie, instead you walk away with beautiful lasting memories that are worth investing in.

Family photographs are so much more than pictures, they are time capsules. Life moves so quickly and it's easy for the everyday moments to blur into each other. Photo's give us the chance to pause and hold on to the laughter, chaos, tiny details and quiet moments that make this season of life so special.

One day these photographs will be the stories that you look back on, the way your children's hand fits in yours, the silly faces, big belly laughs and beach days. They remind us not just of how things looked but also how they felt. That is the magic of family photography and why it is so important to invest in yours.
