Natural, heartfelt photography for families, weddings & soulful brands.
NEW SITE incoming
I’m in the middle of a little website glow-up - but you can still see some of my work and get in touch below.
Hi, I’m Jodie - lover of natural light, muddy boots & real moments
I’ve been photographing people and their stories for over 20 years. I’m all about relaxed, honest imagery – the crinkly-nose laughs, windswept hair, kids being kids, and business owners feeling truly seen in their work. I’m based in Oxfordshire and split my time between brand photography, weddings and family shoots (with the occasional dog and horse stealing the show)
Here’s how we can work together right now:

what i offer
02 Brand Photography
For small businesses, creatives and soulful brands who want imagery that actually feels like them. Perfect for websites, social media, launches and fresh content throughout the year.
02 wedding photography
Storytelling coverage for couples who care more about the feelings than the formalities. I quietly capture the big moments and all the tiny in-between ones you’ll never want to forget.
03 family photography
Real, relaxed sessions for families and newborns who don’t want stiff poses or fake smiles. Think countryside walks, sofa snuggles, and kids being exactly who they are.
Your brand is so much more than a headshot. It’s your energy, your craft, the tiny details that make your work unmistakably yours, and the way you want people to feel when they discover you online.
My brand photography sessions are designed to bring all of that to life - naturally, beautifully, and without any awkward posing.
I blend storytelling with a relaxed shooting style so you can show up as your real self: confident, approachable, and completely aligned with your brand. Whether you’re a wellness practitioner, creative founder, small business owner, or an equestrian brand with a love of the outdoors, I’ll help you create imagery that feels authentic and deeply connected to your work.
Perfect for small businesses who want photos that feel human, expressive and truly themselves.
Your wedding day isn’t just about the big moments — it’s the quiet breaths before you walk down the aisle, the hand squeezes, the laughter that erupts during speeches, and the way your family looks at you when they think you’re not watching.
My approach is gentle, observant and rooted in feeling. I’m there to capture your day just as it unfolds — the real emotions, the fleeting in-between bits, the joy, the nerves, the wild dance-floor moments, and the beautifully imperfect details that make your story yours.
With over 20 years behind the camera and a love for natural light and genuine connection, I blend into the background so you can be fully present. No awkward posing, no pressure — just simple, heartfelt images that hold the essence of your day.
For couples who want their wedding photographed with warmth, honesty, and a storyteller’s eye — so every time you look back, you feel it all over again.
Family life is wonderfully unpredictable - full of muddy knees, cuddles that last a heartbeat, tiny hands reaching for yours, and the kind of chaos that makes your home feel alive. My sessions are designed to capture all of that with heart, warmth and honesty.
I focus on natural moments: the way your toddler leans into you, the sleepy newborn stretches, belly laughs, quiet snuggles, and the magic of simply being together. No forced smiles, no rigid posing — just your family, exactly as you are, in a way that feels effortless and true.
With years of experience photographing children, newborns and families of all ages, I know how to guide gently, go with the flow, and create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable (yes, even camera-shy grown-ups!).
For families who want photographs that reflect their heart, their story and their beautifully imperfect everyday moments.
