Hello, my name is Jess and I'm a well established and highly regarded newborn and baby photographer. My style with all my shoots is timeless, natural and relaxed. I understand that a photoshoot is an investment and you are wanting the focus to be on your newborn and your family. Please have a look at my galleries and you will see that I use neutral and soft colours to create those everlasting and beautiful images.
If you love natural and soft tones and a neutral backdrop, with your bump captured by a highly experienced bump photographer in a relaxed and unhurried way, then welcome! Maternity photography sessions are a great way to capture your bump and precious pregnancy journey. Thanks to morning sickness and tiredness you might not always feel great in those 40 weeks, but you will soon forget all that once your baby is here!
I'm a well established and highly regarded newborn photographer and my style is pure, simple and timeless. If you love neutral and soft cosy tones and wish to see your baby snug and safe, every detail captured with a relaxed and unhurried approached, then welcome! I really believe simplicity is key in remembering little newborn babies as they were, with their little flaky feet, ickle milk spots and curled up hands.
I have become a family and baby photographer to many of my clients; seeing them when their first child is born, throughout their first year and onwards. I like to keep my setups simple - this means that nothing will distract away from your baby and your images will not date. You are encouraged to have some family images with your baby at the session.
One of the things that I've found to be enormous fun over the years is the cake smash photography. If you'd like to see your baby playing happily with their cake, please find out more below. Mark your baby's first or second birthday with a Cake Smash photoshoot at my home studio in Norwich. After taking a selection of beautiful images of your baby or toddler, we'll bring out the cake and let havoc commence!

Recently had a Woodland Photoshoot and couldn't be happier with how it went and the photos we received. Jess was so good with our 18 month old and got some incredible shots. A woodland photoshoot is also a great opportunity to bring a dog/dogs and get some great family shots. It's slightly different to your traditional photoshoot but we're so glad we done this and would definitely recommend to others. Thanks Jess!

Jess was absolutely amazing for our family shoot. We had the studio and woodland shoot, she was so good with both our kids (ages 3 and 9months). She took her time, never rushed or pressured the children. We loved every single one of her photos and cant thank her enough for capturing our family. X

We couldnt recommend Jess enough! We had a maternity shoot with our 2 year old daughter and Jess was so amazing with her, she made us all feel so comfortable and the photos came out so much better than we ever imagined! We also will be having a newborn shoot which we cannot wait for and we already know the photos will be beautiful. We will treasure the pictures forever and honestly cant thank you enough Jess!

My family and I were gifted the woodland walk shoot by a friend, it was fantastic. Jess was really friendly and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Booking was easy, Jess quickly replies to any emails Id sent and the images were received quickly after the shoot. You also receive the whole album which I thought was great and was easy to download, Im so happy with the amazing images captured that day. I would 100% recommend Jess and her services.

My wife bought me a daddy daughter photoshoot for my birthday. We had seen Jesss photos before as some friends had had some taken and we really liked her style.

Jess didnt disappoint at all! She was fantastic with our 3 year old, put us all at ease and understood exactly what we were after. The results were fantastic and we couldnt be happier with the photos.

I would highly recommend Jess to anyone who wants to capture some lovely photos of their loved ones whilst having fun at the same time. We will definitely go back!

I first went to Jess when I was 11 years old with my parents and newborn sister for our photoshoot and we all loved every minute! Weve been back to Jess multiple times for my brothers newborn photos, and my youngest sisters too.
11 years later Ive now had a baby of my own and instantly knew I wanted to come to Jess for our own newborn and family photos - Ive always admired Jess work and how relaxed she makes the sessions for everyone involved, having a session with her was one of the things I was looking forward to the most during pregnancy for when baby arrived.
We had our shoot last week with our 6 day old son, Beau. As expected Jess was incredibly accommodating to us all, especially when Beau was being the wriggly boy he is and not always wanting to stay in poses!
I cant wait to get our photos through and share them with our family - I havent even seen them yet but know they will be cherished forever

We are so grateful to Jess. She has done the most especial photographs for us. Memories that will stay with us forever and made us remember moments of immeasurable love. She made us feel comfortable during the session and she was so caring to our two year old daughter. She was lovely and friendly to us, all resulting in the most precious set of memories that we will keep forever. Thank you Jess

I have booked Jess twice now. One for newborn photos and the other time for a Christmas shoot. Both times we have really loved the photographs. Jess has a very distinct style: natural photographs on muted backdrops which look very pretty. She is also great with kids and managed to get some great photos of my tribe. Thank you!

We had both a bump and newborn shoot with Jess and both were fantastic. Jess made us feel super comfortable and both sessions werent staged or posed, and the photos themselves were incredible. Were very pleased and have plastered them all over our house!

Jess even had the patience to involve our 2 Labradors in both shoots - which proved to be tricky - but Jess patience and experience ensured that the sessions went well despite their craziness, and we ended up with photos far better than we had envisaged.

Jess is absolutely fantastic, we attended a shoot for my Nephew's first birthday. Jess was very welcoming and the whole shoot was a dream, she is fantastic with children and dogs and we were all made to feel very welcome. We have just seen the photos (very quick turn around but still great quality) and I am very happy with them, she caught some beautiful moments, both staged and natural, especailly with my daughter and her cousin. Highly recommend Jess. Thank you for a lovely shoot

I recently visited Jess for a cake smash with my one year old daughter. From the offset, Jess was warm, welcoming, kind and a true professional. From the personalised touches within the studio through to the rapport she built with my daughter - I was so so pleased I picked Jess to capture this special event. The photos were sent back to me much quicker than expected and I was blown away by just how lovely the photos were. Jess had captured the very essence of our wild little girl and I cannot recommend her enough!

We had a wonder experience for our little boys first birthday cake smash.

She had so much patience with him especially with him being sleepy.

Jess made us feel welcome from the moment we walked into her lovely studio.

We didnt have to wait long for our photos to come back and they are beautiful.

We would 100% recommend Jess. And will definitely be returning.

We booked a newborn photography shoot with Jess in February and it was amazing. It was our first trip out since having our little girl (first baby) and it was such a wonderful experience, it was so calm and relaxed in Jess's studio and the photos were exactly what we wanted. We love Jess' timeless and classic style

We had a maternity photo session with Jess and we couldn't be more delighted with the results. The photos are beautiful and timeless. Such precious memories she has wonderfully capture for us! Jess is very approachable and will help you feel comfortable and relaxed during the shoot. The communications and payment process were very clear and straight forward from the beginning as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services and we'll definitely be back for a family photo session in the future!

What a pleasure it was to have a photoshoot with Jess, creating photographic memories to mark our joy at our first grandchild joining our family. My partner and son do not like having their photo taken and getting them to smile naturally for a photo is pretty much an impossibility. Somehow Jess achieved it effortlessly! The whole experience turned out to be fun for us all and a complete joy, which is reflected in the beautiful photos we now have. Jess is so knowledgeable and experienced that the whole thing just seemed to flow seamlessly. Doing the actual photoshoot has ended up being a wonderful family memory in itself, let alone the beautiful photos we now have printed and displayed on our wall. Thank you so much Jess!

Where do I begin. Jess is simply incredible. The patience and calmness she brings to each shoot is a gift. It is so reassuring to know that I can go knowing there will be no pressure, I can break to feed, cuddle or change, anything that may be needed. Which, as a new parent, is everything and more. but its not only the newborns she has a way with, watching her at the more recent one we had with my eldest and our newborn son, the way she kept him entertained and engaged and so involved during the entire shoot was so comforting to know he was content and happy too. I have recommended her to anyone

Jess is an amazing photographer and captured brilliant pics of our wriggly 1 month old. She was excellent with our son and she even taught us some tips on how to settle him that we are still using now. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning for future sessions.

If you are after a laid back, natural shoot for your baby, Jess is absolutely the photographer to go with. Right from the beginning, Jess was flexible and understanding with the timing of the shoot. Upon arrival, the atmosphere was very relaxed. Jess did an amazing job at keeping our baby captivated and we have the photos to prove it! Rest assured there is time for feeding and nappies- 10/10 brilliant experience and memories to treasure forever.

Me and my daughter were lucky enough to model for Jess for her recent website update. I'm not a natural in front of the camera but Jess made it so easy and calm. She was also amazing with my 2 year old daughter! I fully recommend Jess for family/baby/maternity photos - she produces natural, classic photos that will always look good on your wall <3

Jess has done so many shoots for us from birthday to outdoor family shoots, to product based and commercial shoots. She is simply the only photographer I’d trust to take such precious images of me and my family. She is so calm, professional and makes everyone feel totally at ease. Thank you for being so amazing at what you do Jess :)

Jess really has such a wonderful calming way about her which makes you and your baby feel comfortable and at ease.
Her studio is light airy and full of beaautiful materials and textures which she uses as subtle props.
I loved the natural style of her photos, no frills, no fuss, just timeless simplicity and she delivered just that.
We now have photographs which we will cherish for years to come and i can't thank her enough for that.

I have been to Jess for the last couple of years for maternity, newborn and cake smash shoots.
Jess is really lovely and makes you feel at ease and comfortable throughout the session.
She has been great every time, especially with my son who has been shy and not wanted his photo taken especially during our recent shoot for our newborn daughter.
Everything has always been very relaxed during the shoots and very friendly whilst being professional.
The photos are always lovely and we have so many up around the house. I would definitely recommend Jess.

We had a newborn shoot with Jess in January 2020 and it was an absolute pleasure! I usually hate having my photograph taken but Jess put us all completely at ease. Jess is fantastic with babies and our little boy just relaxed with her so well, he even fell asleep and remained asleep for most of the photo shoot due to the lovely relaxing atmosphere she creates. The studio is so gorgeous and Jess' ability to take such natural images in the style of your choosing makes her simply the best! Would recommend her always.

As soon as I found out I was expecting I knew I wanted to book a newborn session with Jess! She came highly recommended by friends. Her early bird offer made it a done deal 😉 When my little boy made an early appearance she responded to messages with empathy and care and was brilliant at fitting us in once we had left hospital and worked around school hours to include my daughter. We have memories and photographs that we will treasure forever ♥ Thanks Jess
