“Kirsty did an absolutely phenomenal job with our family photos in London. Even in below-freezing temperatures, she somehow kept everyone comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely engaged which says a lot when you’re photographing kids and parents in the cold!

The results were beyond spectacular. Every photo feels natural, warm, and full of life. Kirsty has an incredible eye and an even better way of bringing out real moments.

If you’re in London and looking for truly amazing photos, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly, highly recommend!”

Unlike traditional family photographers who focus on just one market, I specialise in creating natural, joyful memories for both tourists exploring London's iconic locations and local families wanting authentic lifestyle portraits in their favourite neighbourhoods.

But you’re here because you need more than JUST a photograph.

You need natural, joyful memories of you with the people you love the most, in one of the most iconic cities in the world.

Memories that celebrate your love of adventure.

Photos that will spark joy, nostalgia and a sense of wanderlust when you look back on them in years to come.

Images that OOOOOZE personality, happiness and love.

I have captured incredible memories for families, couples and individuals on more than 1000 photoshoots over the past 10 years, working in all areas of London.

Whether you want a photoshoot in Central London or one of the outer boroughs, I know all the best spots from Notting Hill to Greenwich, Westminster to Wimbledon (or Wembley!) to capture your London adventure.

Ready to take The Leap?
Photography Business Education

Are you a photographer trying to build a business around your family — and losing your evenings to the marketing side of it? I've been you.

At 34 I quit a 15-year journalism career because it stopped fitting around my two children, picked up a camera with no real idea what I was doing, and spent the next nine years working out — the hard way — how to actually get found, get booked, and build a business that bends around my life instead of fighting it.

The Leap is everything I wish someone had taught me at the start: AI doing the marketing heavy lifting, foundations that actually hold (not the latest viral hack), and content that sounds like you because it IS you — all paced for parents, not for people with twenty spare hours a week. A braver way to do business: less marketing overwhelm, more of the photography you love.
