Newborn & Family Photographer in Cornwall

Photography in Cornwall for those who want to hold onto how this time feels

Sometimes there’s a difference between how it looks, and how it feels. My job is to tie both together, creating images that capture your important chapters with honesty and love.

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 boudoir, is that nobody knows what these photos are going to mean in the future, but there’s every chance that they will mean an awful lot. I know that the people and places in them will change. For some people, these may be 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 on a photoshoot is that by planning the details well (time, style, place), then the session can be a place for moments to unfold naturally. No expectations or performing. With the right 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 can feel 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 most. 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 so that you end up with photos that capture real emotion, real connection and real moments (even for the camera shy).

“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

Choose your session

Every stage of family life looks different, but the way I photograph it doesn’t change. Whether you're expecting, just home with a newborn, watching your children grow, or ready to step into the frame yourself, I’m here to care, to see you and to help document the moments you’re living.

I offer newborn, maternity, family and women's portrait photography across Cornwall - studio sessions in Grampound and outdoor locations all over.
