Hi, I'm Lottie, and when I photograph I tell the story of your love and your family in a natural, relaxed, and unposed way, whatever stage of motherhood you are in. I capture genuine moments of emotion and connection to celebrate and document the exciting anticipation of pregnancy, the magic of a newborn baby, and the natural wonder of childhood.
I've recently relocated to Nottingham, where I have just set up a home studio (a comfortable, relaxed setting decorated in neutral tones). I also still work in Surrey about once a month, just enquire for my availabilty. Please enjoy browsing my site for information about maternity, newborn, baby, and family sessions and reach out even if you have the smallest of questions, I'm always happy to chat :)
Hi there,
I’m Lottie
I'M THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOU, IF...
- You care most about capturing the relationships, personalities, and beautiful details of this time with your loved ones.
- You want your images to feel authentic, and be unique to you & your family.
- You like babies wrapped in parent’s arms, not bonnets and baskets.
- You want a photographer who is fun to hang out with, makes you feel comfortable, and feels like a friend.
- You want your photographs to transport you back in time, and preserve these moments that you never want to forget.
My style of photography is natural, child-led, and heartfelt. I capture your family's unique qualities, individual personalities, and the connections you have with each other. My sessions flow naturally and are all unique. I use beautiful, soft natural light as my tool; in the comfort of your own home, or the great outdoors.
Your gallery will tell a story of who you and your family are, at this precise moment in time, a time that you can never go back to. It is about creating precious heirlooms, it is the magical art of freezing these moments with the people you love, to look back on time and time again in the many years to come.
Enquire about a photoshoot to document this time in your life.
Let me give you those memories.
newborn sessions
My newborn sessions take place in my cosy home studio or in the comfort of your own home. My style of photography is baby-led and focuses on heartwarming moments of connection, rather than posing. I always involve the whole family in my newborn sessions (pets included if you choose an in-home shoot!).
Becoming a parent is life-changing and seeing couples become parents for the first time, or seeing families flourish with a sibling, is a magical moment in time that I feel honoured to be able to capture.
I focus on the love and connection between your family members and your newborn, as well as capturing portraits and close-ups of all the beautiful tiny details of your baby.
family sessions
My family sessions take place in the great outdoors, any time of year (the woods being one of my favourite places to go!). They are suitable for any size and type of family and can be booked for any occasion. These sessions can also be booked for babies to celebrate a milestone - such as a first birthday. Choosing an outdoor shoot gives your children the freedom to explore, get messy, and have fun - which always produces wonderfully natural, candid images.
We all have hundreds of photographs of our children but hardly any with us in them. A family session is a great way to have an excuse to put on a nice outfit, do your hair, and get in the photo! Let's celebrate together whatever stage of life your child or children are currently in, acknowledge your incredible achievement of surviving parenting, and capture moments you will treasure as the years fly by.
My style of photography is all about heartwarming moments of connection, rather than posing, so I promise you will all feel at ease. As well as focusing on you all together I will capture individual natural portraits which celebrate each child's unique personality; telling your family's own personal story.
Testimonials
We had an utterly fabulous experience during our newborn shoot with Lottie. The preparation email telling us everything we needed to know/wear etc. before was super helpful and made it easy to relax. Then the day of the photoshoot, she put us totally at ease. It was calm, fun and a special bonding experience with our new baby, all perfectly captured in the photos. We couldn't be happier with how the photos came out and are grateful we have them to treasure. We are so grateful to Lottie for a truly special experience that we with always remember. We have already recommended her to our friends and plan on booking in more family photos in the future.

maternity sessions
My maternity sessions are a celebration of your journey into parenthood. They are all about slowing down, connecting with your baby, appreciating your body's incredible transformation, and looking forward to this next chapter in your lives.
There are lots of options for maternity sessions depending on your preferences and I am happy to discuss and plan your session with you. They can be just for mum, they can include your partner (which makes for a wonderful hybrid couple/maternity session), or they can even include the whole family (if you have other children or pets). Your session can take place in your own home, or out in nature.
More about my maternity sessions will be published soon - in the meantime just enquire and we can chat :)
