FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
in Nice, Provence, and the French Riviera
If you're new here, then welcome to my website! I’m a British photographer based in Nice, France, with experience of creating and capturing beautiful unscripted moments. As a dad of two daughters I know the time, patience, and approach required to put children at ease so the whole family can enjoy their photography experience.
I direct outdoor family photography sessions on the French Riviera that create the connections and reactions that render beautifully for clean, unmistakably professional images perfect for displaying in homes and being a part of photography albums.
I enjoy working with children of all ages and creating a fun relationship that means we both have fun together. With young children I work at their pace to capture spontaneous moments of play, laughter, and connections. Sometimes this means working slowly, and waiting for them to get used to me and the camera before I begin pushing the shutter button. I then find the activities that match their mood and personality while helping them relax, smile, and express themselves.

Photography in a fun, relaxed atmosphere
Photoshoots are always relaxed, easy-going, and based upon the personalities of clients. I’m not the type of person to clock-watch or complicate things with hidden fees – I simply show up, usually have a friendly chat to introduce myself and see how people are feeling, and then set about taking the kind of imagery clients want.
During weddings and couple shoots I have a degree of control over timings, but I know that during family photoshoots that's not always possible. It's for this reason I always approach each photoshoot, especially ones with young children, with an open mind with regard to timings and flexibility; it never takes me long to discover the best ways to work at their pace, have fun, and engage on a level they'll enjoy.
A few days later – usually within two weeks – clients receive a download link to fully-edited jpgs with no water-marks. A session lasting 40 minutes usually yields between 40 and 60 images. Clients often show me pictures on their phone that they would like to re-create and I’m happy to do so. I also usually get in touch in few days before to advise on colours depending on the time of day, mood, and location - this is to give clients enough time to ensure their chosen outfits are all clean and will not clash with another outfit or the colours of the environment.

Reservation, booking, and payment
There’s no deposit with this type of photoshoot, so booking is as easy as contacting me, agreeing on a time and location, and staying in touch via WhatsApp. If the weather’s a problem, I’ll be as flexible as I can and will be happy to move your photoshoot to another date at no extra expense.
