I’m Joey — a mother, photographer, and wholehearted homebody who finds beauty in the quiet, in-between moments of everyday life. Life with my husband, our two little ones, and our dog is full, loud, and beautifully imperfect, and it’s within this season that my love for slow living, nature, and storytelling has deepened. I’m most myself at home — noticing the little things, collecting old treasures, growing flowers, and creating spaces that feel lived-in and loved. Nature is a constant source of inspiration for me, grounding me and reminding me of the importance of presence, patience, and seasonality.
Photography, for me, isn’t about perfection — it’s about the real stuff. The mess, the tenderness, the fleeting moments you don’t realise you’ll miss until they’re gone. I’m deeply passionate about documenting families as they truly are, especially within the spaces where life actually happens. As I look ahead, I feel most called to slow, honest, in-home sessions that feel intimate and personal — memories that feel lived-in, not staged. If you’re drawn to meaningful, candid imagery and a softer approach to capturing family life, I’d love to connect.

behind the lens.
Whether you've had photos taken before or it's your very first time, you can rest assured knowing you don't need to worry about a thing.
Whilst I'm a fairly organised person (who yes loves a good list and a neatly organised calendar), I am also super chill, relaxed and low key. So when you turn up for your shoot, you can just be 100% completely yourself!
I never expect people to know what to do during a shoot, so I will guide you the whole way. You might feel a little nervous at the start, but I can guarantee after 5-10 minutes, you'll feel so much more at ease. Together we will go through the motions of the shoot until I feel like we've got all we need.
When it comes to kids, I always try to make the experience a fun one. However, let’s face it – kids will be kids and sometimes they just ain’t in the mood! If that’s the case, don’t freak out, we can make it work! If you need to take 5, settle them, give them a snack or let them just play for a minute, we can totally do that (and yes sometimes bribery is needed hahaha).
So basically, there is absolutely no need to stress about your shoot. I'm here to help you the whole way through!
