Newborn & Family Photographer in Cornwall

Photographer in Cornwall for people who want to remember how this time feels

Some moments need to be captured with honesty and love - the ones that whisper softly to your heart. The ones that only you can feel.

Photography is about capturing something that can’t be put into words. The days are fleeting, it’s up to you how you want to remember them.

I am here to help if you want photos that capture the truest version of you and your family right now.

Studio sessions near Truro and outdoor locations throughout Cornwall.

“The most gorgeous photos we could have wished for, documenting our journey from pregnancy to newborn. We’d definitely recommend Michelle!”

- Claire Dummett

If this is your first time here, welcome.

My view of every photography session I do, whether maternity, newborn, family or mothers, is that we don’t know what these photos will mean in the future. I do know that the people and places in them will change and the value of the photos will grow over the years.

For some, these are the only professional photos they ever invest in. For most, a photoshoot is a rare occurrence and I understand how much it means to have this chapter captured in a meaningful and lasting way.

My approach to photoshoots is that by planning the details well (time, style, place), then the session can be a lovely experience where moments can unfold naturally - without expectations or performance.

With intentional setting, all of your ordinary moments have the potential to turn into beautiful images.

If you:

• yearn for something real and natural

• are drawn to honest moments over perfect poses

• want your photos to live in your home, not sit on a hard drive

• value artistry, simplicity and natural beauty

I’m so glad you’ve found me.

Feeling overwhelmed by it all?

I would be too. Searching for the right photographer is confusing in this noisy world. Everyone sounds similar, there’s so much to consider and compare, and social media is relentless. The more you look, the harder it gets to know what you actually want.

I believe that it’s really important to choose someone to work with who is aligned with you and what you value. My priority is working with people who appreciate that this time is fleeting, these moments are worth savouring, and who love the beauty of a simple photo that captures connection and emotion.

You don’t have to worry about how to act or what to do - I will guide you through each step, keeping things simple for you.

“Michelle was friendly, clear and efficient throughout the whole process, from initial contact to getting our final gallery. We love the photos that she took and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Her laid back, warm and non-pushy way of working was perfect.”

- Juliet Stubbington
