For the everyday you never want to forget

Where your family’s story unfolds in gentle light and the quiet magic of everyday connection.

Intimate maternity, newborn, family & wedding photography in Kent, Surrey, Sussex & London

Hello, I’m Jacs – a Kent-based maternity, newborn, family and intimate wedding photographer, based in Tunbridge Wells and working across Kent, Sussex, Surrey and London. My work explores motherhood and early family life in all its forms, creating gentle, story-led imagery for families of all shapes, and for those who want to remember how this season of life felt, not just how it looked.

I’m happiest outdoors, wandering woodland paths, chasing golden evening light along the Kent coast, or photographing families in the quiet comfort of their own homes. I know how vulnerable it can feel to step in front of a camera, so my sessions are relaxed and unhurried, shaped around connection rather than performance. Think barefoot children in the grass, soft laughter, and the small, beautiful in-between moments that often matter most.

I’ll offer gentle guidance when we pause for timeless portraits, but most of what I capture lives in the spaces between. The curl of a fringe caught by the breeze, the warm weight of a child in your arms, the soft squeeze of a tiny hand. These are the details that become part of a family’s visual history, held onto and returned to, long after the days themselves have flown.

Heirloom family photography in Kent, Sussex & London

This is modern heirloom photography for families who want to remember how it felt. Calm, intimate imagery made slowly, edited with care, and delivered ready for your walls and albums.

I photograph families the way you’ll want to remember them, gently, honestly, and beautifully. Sessions are child-led and unhurried, shaped around real connection rather than performance.

The small hands, the soft chaos, the quiet in-between moments. Nothing forced. Nothing rushed.

You’ll be guided when you need it, and left room when you don’t. No awkward posing. No pressure to “get it right.” Just your family, as you are, in beautiful light.

Every gallery is carefully edited with a timeless finish and delivered ready for printing, framing, and keeping. Photographs made not just to be seen on a screen, but to live on your walls, in albums, and in the story of your family.

Modern heirloom imagery, made to last.
