Welcome to the new site!

Did you notice my fancy new design? I’ll get to that in a minute. First, the item above.

A few weeks back, I showed you the photos from sweet Ellis’ session, but I wanted to share his film as well. I really adore these newborn films, and I’m hoping to book more and more of them in the future.

And speaking of that! If you’re reading this on the day of publication, you’ll notice that orange bar at the top of your screen! That right there is a discount to ANY family session booked for 2020 — but you have to book before midnight on Feb 17, 2020, because after that it’s gone folks.

But back to this website! Isn’t it lovely? My amazingly wonderful and fabulous friend Margaret designed it for me, and I could not be happier. She is a gem, I tell you.

Why change it, you ask? Well, I wanted to redo my website to focus more on families — but keep the dogs present. As many of you know, these are my very favorite things to photograph, but they don’t make up even half of my annual income (that goes to portraits and commercial gigs). I’m going to be completely transparent here and tell you that I really, really want to do even more of the work I love, so I thought refocusing my website was a great place to start.

A few questions you might have:

  1. Are you ONLY doing families and dogs now? What about my head shots? Yes, I will of course still do portraits! But I don’t want that front and center on my site. If you need a new head shot, get at me.

  2. I don’t see weddings anywhere? Are you not doing weddings now? Hmm… I will do weddings if the circumstances are right. But at this point in my life, I’m only truly loving weddings of long-time clients or friends or people I already know in real life. So I took them off my site. But if you are getting married and want me to shoot it — reach out!

  3. I don’t see Lucy on the site — did you two break up? HELL NO. I still adore Lucy and admire her work so much. But I wanted to change up the site, and she loves doing way more than just families, so I thought it was unfair to pigeon hole her into my dream world. She just redesigned her own amazing site, and we are still working closely together. We still share the studio and still refer jobs back and forth like crazy. She’s the best.

Ok, I think that should cover it! Please take a look around — I’m really proud of all the work on here and how it’s displayed. Plus, it’s Monday (and a bank holiday)! Why not waste a little time!
