your Family session in dorset
"Capturing the love you feel, in moments you’ll never forget."
On-location family sessions across Dorset and Hampshire
As a family photographer based in Poole, Dorset, I understand just how busy family life can be — school runs, work, clubs, playdates... the days are full, and the weeks fly by. I get it. I live it too. It’s easy to forget to pause and simply take it all in. That’s exactly why I’m so passionate about family photography sessions. These moments, as ordinary as they might seem now, will one day mean everything.
When your baby turns 18, these photographs will become treasured reminders of how small they once were and how far your family has come. My goal is to document the real, everyday magic of your connection — so you’ll have beautiful images to look back on and cherish for a lifetime.
There’s nothing quite like photographing families at sunset. The soft golden light wraps everything in a dreamy glow, creating the perfect natural setting for genuine, beautiful moments. The beach at sunset brings a sense of calm, making each session feel like something only dreams are made of. I adore the way little toes walk freely in the sand, laughing as they run over dunes, and the moments unfold so effortlessly.
My family photoshoots typically last between 60–90 minutes, depending on the size of your family. The more little ones you have, the more time we’ll take — making sure every child gets their moment to shine.

Why Family Photography Is So Much More Than Just a Picture
As a family photographer in Poole, Dorset — and a mum myself — I truly believe in the power of preserving your family’s story. I know how quickly time passes, and how priceless these memories become.
A family photoshoot is more than a date on the calendar — it’s a chance to pause the chaos, to come together, and to simply be present with the people who matter most. The photographs we create aren’t just for now. They become part of your home, part of your children's childhood, and part of the legacy you’ll one day leave behind.
In fact, studies have shown that displaying family photographs in your home can have a positive impact on children’s self-esteem. Seeing themselves surrounded by love — held in your arms, laughing with siblings, cuddled close — reminds them that they belong, that they are safe, and that they are deeply loved.
This is what I strive to give you: not just beautiful images, but heartfelt moments frozen in time. Photographs that bring you back to the feeling, the connection, the season of life you were in — and everything it meant.
Psst, this one belongs to me!
Because there’s nothing quite like the magic of the outdoors — especially here on the stunning Dorset coast.
From golden beaches and flower fields to forest trails and rolling countryside, Dorset offers some of the most beautiful natural backdrops for your family photoshoot. As the sun begins to set, everything is bathed in warm, dreamy light — creating the perfect atmosphere for capturing natural, authentic moments with your little ones.
An outdoor session means you don’t have to worry about keeping anyone under control with the constant nag of "dont touch that", or getting everyone sat smiling in the same direction. Instead, you can simply enjoy the fresh air, let your children explore, and allow the beauty of nature to frame your story in the most relaxed and authentic way.
You do the fun, I create the magic.
Let’s make the most of what Dorset has to offer — and create timeless memories in the heart of it all.

"I never liked being photographed, so as a family we hardly have any photos together. When Jess came along we went to an outdoors location and just started to walk. We chatted and Jess took some photos of my children. We walked more, chatted more and suddenly I didn't mind (actually enjoyed) our moments being captured. Now I have the loveliest photographs I ever had, which I am ever so grateful for. Also I have to mention my family is neurodivergent and Jess had a trick for every situation to make it all super fun and we all were at ease with every moment"
