STORYTELLING FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER IN SUSSEX
HONEST, RELAXED FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE BEAUTIFULLY ORDINARY MOMENTS YOU'LL ONE DAY MISS THE MOST.
One day they'll stop reaching for your hand.
Their baby curls will disappear. The gap-toothed grin will be replaced. They'll grow taller than you, run ahead instead of beside you, and the bedtime cuddles will slowly become fewer.
It's never the perfectly posed photograph that takes you back.
It's the way they looked at you.
The way they buried their face into your shoulder.
The muddy knees after an adventure.
The belly laughs.
The tiny hands wrapped around yours.
That's what I want you to remember.
My Storytelling Sessions are about documenting this season of your family's life exactly as it is.
No forced smiles.
No endless posing.
No pressure for children to sit still.
Just genuine connection, beautiful light and honest photographs that feel like home.
STORYTELLING SESSIONS
These sessions are relaxed, child-led and designed around your family.
We'll head to one of my favourite outdoor locations across Sussex, explore together, play games, throw stones into the sea, splash in puddles, collect leaves, race through long grass or simply cuddle up together.
The best photographs happen when everyone forgets the camera is there.
Your session includes:
- Up to 1 hour Storytelling Session
- A beautiful outdoor location or in-home newborn session
- 15 hand-edited digital images
- Private online gallery
- Optional full gallery upgrades are available after viewing your images.

WHAT TO EXPECT
If you've ever worried that your children won't "behave" for photographs...
Please don't.
Some of my favourite images come from children running off to explore, asking a hundred questions, collecting sticks or needing a cuddle halfway through.
I don't expect perfection.
I expect childhood.
I'll gently guide you when you need it, but most of the time I'll simply encourage you to be together.
Walk hand in hand.
Tell silly jokes.
Swing them through the air.
Read a story.
Wrap them up in the biggest cuddle you can.
Those are the photographs you'll treasure years from now.
WHO THESE ARE FOR
These sessions are perfect if you're...
• Watching your children grow far too quickly.
• Celebrating a new baby.
• Expecting another little one.
• Wanting to update your family photographs.
• Looking for something more relaxed than a traditional studio session.
• Wanting photographs that tell your family's story instead of everyone looking at the camera.
Whether your family is just beginning or beautifully chaotic with toddlers in tow, every season deserves to be remembered.
NEWBORN STORYTELLING SESSIONS
Those first few weeks don't need perfect wraps, buckets or complicated posing.
They just need remembering.
Newborn sessions take place in your own home, where everyone feels most comfortable.
We'll move entirely at your baby's pace, stopping whenever we need to for feeds, cuddles or settling.
I'll quietly document those tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, milk-drunk cuddles and the way your home feels during those precious early days.
They're simple.
They're honest.
They're real.
And years from now, they'll mean everything.

Kind words from past clients
Chelsea went above and beyond to make sure we had the photoshoot we wanted, we loved every second of it and the photos came out beautifully.

Kind words from past clients
I had a photo shoot with chelsea. She put me at ease within seconds of being in front of the camera, she is so relaxed and professional she makes you feel gorgeous!
The session was completely baby led which was incredible!
Chelsea works with you to get the best pictures and advises what she would like you to do. Couldn’t recommend her enough!
I will be finding any excuse to rebook back in with her!
yaz & Baby Enzo
Childhood moves quietly.
One day you'll pick them up for the last time without even realising it.
The photographs we create together aren't about perfection.
They're about remembering.
If you're looking for relaxed, natural family photography in Sussex that captures your family just as you are, I'd love to tell your story.
Let's create something your children will treasure one day.
YOUR FAMILY'S PRIVACY MATTERS
As a parent myself, I understand that every family feels differently about sharing photographs of their children online.
Some families are happy for images to be shared, while others prefer to keep their children's digital footprint as small as possible.
Whatever you choose, your decision will always be respected.
I will never publicly share identifiable photographs of your child without your explicit permission. You'll be able to choose your image preferences before your session, whether that's:
Happy for all images to be shared.
Happy for non-identifiable storytelling images only (such as backs, hands or wider moments).
Please keep our gallery completely private.
There is never any pressure to allow your photographs to be used for marketing. Your memories belong to your family, and your privacy will always come first.
