Family portrait  

Beautiful. Chaotic. Emotional. Joyful. Magical.
These are just a few words that begin to describe what family means—and how I approach every session.

There’s no one who understands you like your family. No one who shares your stories, your memories, your laughter. That bond is precious, and it's what I love capturing most.

My family sessions are relaxed, fun, and full of connection. With gentle guidance and a natural style, I’ll help you feel at ease so we can create images that reflect your family’s unique personality—images that bring you right back to this season of life every time you look at them.

Based in Whittlesey | Serving Peterborough, March, Chatteris, Cambridge & beyond

Capture the joy, chaos, and deep connection of your family—just as you are.

  • A huge thank you to polly for managing to capture some wonderful family moments! She was patient and kind, we never felt rushed or an inconvenience when we had to stop for a feed and some ice cream after a wobbly moment from the toddler! I really can’t recommend Polly enough! xx
