Like most mums, I’ve got folders of gorgeous photos of my kids when they were small… but I’m barely in them. I was always behind the camera, or too tired, or just not thinking about it. Looking back now, it stings. Those years were busy and brilliant, but they’re missing me.

​

That’s why I do this. Because one day you’ll go searching through your photos, and I don’t want you wondering where you were. I want you to see yourself in them — not posed, not polished, just present.

​

I don’t direct family life into something it’s not. I notice it as it is — the overlooked details, the throwaway expressions, the things that are ordinary now but priceless later. My job is to make sure you’re all in the story, not just watching from behind the camera.
