At some point in August, every parent has the same thought. It usually happens on a Sunday evening, or on the first day that feels genuinely autumnal, or when the school uniform comes back out of the drawer. The children look different from how they looked in June. Not dramatically different — just a little […]
There’s a photograph I took a few years ago of a family of four on a walk along the canal near Berkhamsted. The parents are ahead on the towpath. The older child, about seven, has stopped to throw something in the water. The younger one, maybe four, is watching him with an expression that is […]
If you’ve ever sat through a school portrait day with a national provider — the numbered tickets, the forty-five second sessions, the backdrop that’s been in a van since 2019 — you’ll understand why schools are increasingly looking for something different. I’ve been photographing schools and nurseries across Dacorum for a number of years now, […]
Father’s Day gift guides have a predictable quality. Whisky. Socks. A personalised mug with something written on it that will live in the back of a cupboard until it’s quietly retired. The challenge with Father’s Day is that the people we’re buying for tend to be the ones who say they don’t need anything — […]
Something has shifted in what couples ask for when they come for a wedding consultation. A few years ago, the conversation was mostly about packages, timings, and whether the venue had been shot before. Now, more often than not, the first thing people say is: we want it to feel real.

There are places where a session just works. The light falls right, the children have room to actually move, and instead of coaxing people into position you find yourself watching real moments happen and pointing the camera at them. For more families than anywhere else I shoot, that place is Gadebridge Park. I’ve been shooting […]
In The Frame Photography is a family-focused studio, and each year we have the privilege of capturing the lives of so many families. Some visit just once, others return again and again — and we get to watch the little ones grow and thrive. That’s exactly what we’ve seen with Matilda and her family over […]
Sitter Sessions: Capturing the Magic of the In-Between There’s something truly special about the moment your baby learns to sit. It’s a milestone that often sneaks up on you — one day they’re curled up in your arms, the next they’re sitting tall, wobbling with pride and flashing gummy grins like they’ve just conquered the […]
In today’s digital age, it’s easy to forget the beauty and timelessness of physical photographs. While digital images offer convenience and accessibility, there’s something truly special about holding a tangible album or photo book filled with cherished memories. Why Heirloom Albums and Photo Books Matter Choosing the Right Album or Photo Book When selecting an […]
