I'm Chloe, wife to my love T, mama to our golden haired boy and our sunshine girl. I have always been a creative soul, a lover of art, film, cinematic music but also metal. I adore spring and autumn, cosy jumpers and vintage pieces. When I'm not behind the camera you will find me with a coffee in hand, most likely a biscuit too! Watching fantasy films, reading books, making soups, cuddling my babies, heading out on long walks, trips away in our caravan and surrounding ourselves with family.

HERE IS MY WHY

I have been a freelance fashion photographer since I completed my Photography degree in 2014. I have always been drawn to photographing women, I strive to create images with feelings of beauty and strength, to make the women I photograph feel empowered and confident in their own skin.


Being a mother is something I had always dreamed of, in 2019 my little boy entered this world and changed it forever. Motherhood changed everything for me. It deepened my appreciation for the fleeting moments; the tiny fingers wrapped around mine, the sleepy newborn stretches, the way my little ones look at me when they need comfort. I wanted to create art with meaning and depth, more than just a beautiful portrait.


As a Lancashire family Photographer I specialise in natural, relaxed in home newborn sessions, authentic storytelling family sessions and empowering editorial inspired maternity sessions. As a mother I understand the importance of getting you in the frame and holding these memories in time. I want you to see the magic I see in you, to make art out of your moments, to preserve the love, the chaos, the beauty and the realness of these days before they slip away.
