Hi, I’m Polly – your friendly local photographer based in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire!


I specialise in capturing candid, fun, and long-lasting moments that tell real stories — your story. Whether it's the quiet giggles between siblings, the joyful chaos of a family day out, or the heartfelt glances on a wedding day, I’m there to document the genuine emotions that make your moments unforgettable.

My photography style is relaxed, natural, and full of life. I believe the best photos happen when you’re just being you — no awkward posing, no forced smiles, just real memories beautifully captured.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me spending time with my little family, editing with a coffee in hand, or chasing golden hour with my camera (yes, even on my days off!). I’m a firm believer that laughter is the best pose, and that photography should always feel easy and enjoyable.

So if you're after a photographer who’s warm, relaxed, and just as excited about your photos as you are — let’s chat!

I’m here to make the whole experience as enjoyable, fun, and stress-free as possible. My goal is to help you feel at ease so you can focus on what matters most: being present, making memories, and enjoying every moment.

Take a look through my gallery and see if my style speaks to you. If it does, I’d absolutely love to hear from you and be part of your special day or session.

Let’s make something beautiful together.

Lovely words from past clients

  • This was our 4th year of going to Polly for our Christmas photoshoot and as always she was amazing with my children. My toddler is very shy but Polly knew exactly how to put him at ease and even managed to get pictures of him smiling which I definitely was not expecting. The whole photoshoot with Polly is fun and easy as she knows what works well to keep the children engaged. The photos were sent to us quickly and are absolutely beautiful. I’d fully recommend Polly to anyone and will definitely be using her again.

  • Polly was excellent and very patient with our two boys (Who are wild!). Thank you for taking the time to get them to engage and show us those natural smiles! Hopefully we'll be back soon.

    Yasmuny

  • Polly shot some engagement photos for us and did a fantastic job! We had never had professional photos taken before and can both be a bit awkward in front of the camera, but she put us at ease and gave us a few prompts to help the photos turn out beautifully. We love the end result!
