Family
Your family is unique and totally perfect in its own way, and that is how your photoshoot with me will be. We will laugh, have fun, enjoy moments of calm and (probably where children are concerned) moments of slight chaos, all of which lead to beautiful, natural photographs that show the love and joy that your family shares.
As a mum, I know how quickly time flies. It feels like you blink and they've grown several inches and lost the chubbiness of babyhood. I also know how few family photos I am actually in because I'm always the one taking them! Let me capture your togetherness, the love, the smiles and the cuddles, so that you can look back at these photographs and see how perfect your family is.

"Her experience with children made ours very relaxed at the shoot and she sends helpful hints about what to wear and how to prepare them for the day. The pictures that came back were so much better, even than we expected- she is incredibly talented at capturing real life moments in a raw, natural and striking way, and somehow captures beautiful golden light on what was a relatively cloudy, grey day." - Olivia
"Helen's innate ability to make us comfortable and interract with the children transformed the shoot into such a relaxed and enjoyable time. I can only recommend her to anyone who wants to capture these precious moments, my heart is so thankful for her and her amazing work" -Angela & Miguel
It's best to get in touch as soon as you have decided to invest in a family photoshoot. Weekends and school holidays get booked up very quickly and during the week I only shoot Monday-Wednesday.
If you are planning to have your photos taken during a holiday in Devon it's best to get in touch as soon as you've booked your accommodation.
I always advise wearing neutral colours and avoiding bold patterns or logos. It's important to make sure that all the family's outfits work together. Think complementing, not matching!
A full style guide with tips and advice will be sent to you once you book your photoshoot with me.
Choose a place that you love. This could be in your home (or holiday home), or somewhere in nature like your favourite beach or up on Dartmoor, we are spoilt for choice here in the South Hams and I'm happy to offer recommendations.
A family photoshoot typically lasts between 90 minutes and two hours.
Outdoor sessions work best in the golden evening light, starting 90 minutes before sunset. Home shoots can be done any time during daylight. Please get in touch if you have any specific timing preferences and I will do my best to accommodate that.
I shoot all over the South Hams and South Devon. Please get in touch if you are outside this area and we can discuss additional travel costs.
