Photographer who captures the whole of your family
welcome, i’m claudine
There is something irreplaceable about photographs- much like the moments themselves. They hold memories, emotion and connection in a way nothing else can. This is why family photography matters so deeply, and why I approach every session with care and intention.
Taking the time to truly get to know you allows you to relax and be yourselves. From there, I’m able to capture the raw emotion and honest reality of your family relationships through natural, story-led photography -the moments that really matter.
This is the work I care most about.
I’ve been working as a professional photographer since 2003, photographing families in studios, on beaches, in homes and at weddings. My work began in New York and the UK and has taken me across the world, including Australia and am now back in Sussex available for family photography sessions across the UK.
My focus is on empowering each family to be themselves, so I can capture them in a truly honest light. I understand how important it is to have these moments safely captured -through relaxed, natural family photography that becomes part of your story for years to come.
for families who want to capture their story
MY Services
Not your usual photo shoot…
-
I work with families in their home or on location- This is discussed before booking. All shoot packages include all images on USB, print ready. Each session is bespoke because no-one is the same, so timings are between 30mins to 1.30 hours. You are sent a style guide and have access to my shoot wardrobe if you would like. My aim is to capture the truth of you. Like a story of your family.

Having worked as a teacher of SEN and Autism for years in schools and 1-1, I’m using this experience to serve parents who need more support with photoshoots.
Maybe you have not been brave enough to attend a shoot because your child is anxious or maybe you think the photographer wont understand their diagnosis. I do.
Working with SEN kids for some years, means that my shoots are fully inclusive and I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to help your child feel comfortable and you to feel more ‘you’.
-
This year I have put together some workshops for both parents and photographers who want to improve their relationships offering to their clients. 40 minute workshops which are downloadable and you can watch again in your own time. My in person workshops will be starting in 2024. Please sign up to my newsletter for details.
