Photographs that still feel like you in ten years
Weddings, families and newborns, photographed warmly — never posed into something you're not.
I'm Clare. I work quietly and I work fast, which means most people forget I'm there about ten minutes in. That's when the pictures worth keeping start happening. Based in Warrington, shooting across Cheshire, Manchester and the North West.
The whole day, told properly
From the quiet morning to the last song. Half days, full days and small elopements — one photographer, no shot lists, plenty of time.

Woodland walks, kitchen-floor chaos, or the calm of the first fortnight at home. Nobody has to sit still and say cheese.

Headshots that don't look like headshots
Personal branding, graduations, christenings, milestone parties. Short sessions, quick turnaround, gallery in a week.

“Clare was so calm with a very unimpressed three-year-old. The photos are our favourite thing in the house.”
“Booked her for our newborn shoot after seeing a friend's. Warm, unhurried, worth every penny.”
A friendly face with a very old camera bag
Twelve years, four hundred-odd families and more first dances than I can count. I still get the same feeling handing over a gallery.
I'll never ask you to hold a pose you'd be embarrassed by. Expect a chat, a walk, and someone who knows when to stay out of the way.
