Jacqueline
Hello, i’m Jacqueline—Jacs to friends & family
I’m a lover of scalding hot Yorkshire tea, dawn walks through mist-draped fields in the Kent Downs, and the beautiful chaos that is family life. My world is rooted in life’s simple joys: morning strolls beneath a rising sun, cozy evenings shared with family, and capturing the in-between moments that truly matter. As an intimate family photographer in Kent, I’m here to bring those fleeting details of family life into lasting, heartfelt images.
A heart shaped by the sea & a home that’s both town & tanglewood
I grew up by the sea, where we were never more than a few minutes from salt water and wide, endless skies. Childhood days were spent skimming stones, building sandcastles, and fishing for treasures in rock pools. From dinghies to ferries, I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been on the water, but that feeling of calm is forever a part of me. There’s a timeless quality to the sea that I bring into my photography—a way of holding on to what’s beautiful yet fleeting, capturing moments that feel as peaceful and enduring as the waves.
Now, I live on the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells, where I get the best of both worlds. With a quick wander, I’m in town, indulging in a strong coffee along the Pantiles. But back home, nestled near the woods, I share my road with visiting deer and savour the peaceful company of nature—a life lived in moments, not minutes. This blend of town and countryside is what inspires my work as a family photographer in Kent, capturing the magic in both the bustling and quiet spaces.
Surrounded by nature & organised chaos
At home, plants and flowers fill every room, bringing a touch of nature indoors, while my love for lists and an online calendar keep me grounded in life’s busy rhythm (I’m still trying to convince my husband to give up his paper diary—that may be my last great crusade!). Though I may not be overly touchy-feely, my heart speaks the language of giving. Finding the perfect gift or offering a simple gesture brings me joy—it’s my way of showing love, of connecting with those I hold dear. As your intimate family photographer in Kent, I aim to make you feel this same warmth and ease in front of the camera.

family - the heart of it all
I may not have siblings, but my Irish heritage blessed me with a sprawling family of cousins who could fill a stadium. Their presence has shaped my life, even from a distance. And now, as a mum myself, I feel a deep bond with every family I work with. My children are my world, and since their arrival, my camera has been my way of capturing our shared journey—those tender, everyday moments of love and laughter that mean everything. As an intimate family photographer in Kent, I bring that same devotion to each family’s story, capturing the connections that make every family unique.
If you’re ready to capture your family’s journey, let’s chat about your session.

a people watcher at heart
People-watching is my secret joy. I love observing people in cosy cafes, at parks, or while shopping, imagining their stories and the moments that make them tick. Before children, I’d create entire backstories, names, and even a touch of scandal for strangers lounging around on holiday. So yes, I’m a bit nosy—but that curiosity serves me well. When I meet you, I’m genuinely interested in your story, and it’s this connection that adds depth and authenticity to every photo I take as an intimate family photographer in Kent.
Dreaming of a different view
If I could choose anywhere to call home, it would be in the Lake District, high up among the hills, looking out over a misty valley with a cosy cup in hand. For now, I bring that spirit into my photography, capturing memories as timeless and heartfelt as the landscapes I dream of.
