Curiosity
I want to know who your people are and what makes this chapter matter to you.
Meet your photographer
Warm heart. Creative eye. Calm energy.
I’m Claire, a wedding and family photographer based in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.
I photograph life with warmth, honesty and a deep love for the little things people do when they forget a camera is nearby.
Tell me your storyPhotographs you can feel, not just see.
Photography is my way of holding onto pieces of time.
There is a little shell in my camera bag that my son gave me on a trip to the beach. It makes me smile every time I find it. That tiny object carries a whole memory, which is exactly what a photograph can do.
My work has been shaped by two decades of varied experience, travel around Asia, Australia and Europe, studio craft, marriage, motherhood and a fascination with photographers who find honesty and humour in ordinary life. I bring all of that to each story I photograph.
The style is documentary-led with a considered editorial touch, natural colour and plenty of feeling. The experience is supportive, inclusive and human.
Stories I get to tell
Connection, in all its lovely forms.
Away from the camera
Life is busy in the best possible way.
Home is a half-finished 70s DIY adventure shared with my husband, our two brilliant boys and Echo the leopard gecko.
BBC Radio 6 Music is usually playing. I’m happiest near the sea, dancing at a festival or gig, or showing my kids I can still nail the moonwalk.

My people
The life behind the lens.
A few glimpses of the family, laughter and everyday moments that keep me grounded.
What I bring
Space to be yourselves.
Care
Clear communication and thoughtful planning help you feel looked after from the start.
Instinct
I know when to step in, when to wait and where a great moment is likely to happen next.
Joy
Beautiful photographs matter, and they should pulse with real life too.
Good photographs begin with trust.
If you value real connection, natural colour and photographs with feeling, I think we’ll get along brilliantly.
