I'm a mum of twins and outdoor adventurer, and addicted to making photographs! I'm the one at the back of the group on the hike, caving trip or scuba dive, stopping again to admire a tiny bug or a majestic view.
Whether it's the intricate details of insects, the hidden depths of underground caves, the awe-inspiring depths beneath the waves or the antics of my kids, I photograph everything that catches my eye!
Once upon a time, I was in IT and spent my weekends photographing flowers and butterflies. But when I had twins, everything changed! Watching my little ones grow at lightning speed, I knew I wanted to help other families freeze those blink-and-you-miss-it moments.
Back in 2012, I took the leap and turned my passion into a thriving photography business.
Now, from my cozy corner in Ruislip, West London, I’m ready to come to you—whether it’s for a laid-back session at home or a playful adventure in your favorite park. My mission? To capture the joy, quirks, and love that make your family one-of-a-kind. Let’s create memories that will make you smile for years to come!
fluffy guinea pigs
long walks going nowhere in particular
scuba diving adventures
velvety latte
bitter chocolate
uninterrupted nature
wildflowers in every colour
sci-fi books (and Terry Pratchett)
running that magically makes me fit
sketching, painting and zentangle
laughing with twins
and, obviously,
more cameras to take more photos!
Have you had your photos taken by a professional photographer before? Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds!
Family photo sesssions capture genuine and beautiful moments with your family, in a fun and relaxed experience. Don't wait too long to preserve these precious times - children grow up quickly, and now is the perfect time to capture your family's unique story.
I come to you. You can choose to have pictures cosy at home, in your favourite local park, exploring the buzz of the city, in a vast majestic landscape, or surprise me with something new to explore!
You can check out my on-line calendar to choose a date. One hour is usually plenty of time for a family session with a wide variety of photos. We can plan a two hour session if needed, for example for newborns, parties, or for far locations.
I was very happy to be asked to contribute photos to this book published last week - the definitive book about caving in OFD, created and written by Peter Collings-Wells and filled with pictures from current and past cave photographers.
I`ll show you the best page first - two little twins and Ash in the OFD II entrance series. The rest of the book is great too! It covers the whole 30 miles length of OFD - I`ve probably been to maybe half the places photographed in the book in my 20 years of visiting the cave. It`s a great read for anyone who caves in OFD, or who would like to see all the pretty bits of cave without venturing into getting muddy themselves!

Bluebells in Bloom (Again!) Yes I know I`ve been talking about them for a while! But even though the bluebells came extra early this year they are still making a magical sight in nearby woods. I did some early mini-sessions 2 weeks ago, but they are just holding on for this weekend`s adventures too.
(I have one early afternoon mini-session left on Saturday 3rd for one last minute booking - message me if you`re interested).
These gorgeous native flowers are protected as they are easily damaged. So how do I get these photos then? The family is sat on a blanket (no wet bums) on the path between two areas of bluebells, I`m on the next path getting a nice low angle to show off the flowers - and hide the path!

We had a bit of a nature adventure in our garden yesterday! We had a visit from a swarm of about 10,000 friendly honey bees. After they had buzzed around and checked out our front garden they all landed in a big ball of bee on our garden wall. I was rather worried that they might want to setup home inside the hollow brick pillar of the wall, so I called Pinner & Ruislip Beekeepers` Association who were here in a flash keen to adopt the whole 10,000 bees. They were all carefully swept into a special bee box and transported to a luxury new hive over in Denham. Thank you Pinner & Ruislip Beekeepers` Association and enjoy your bees!

And finally - my very favourite campsite for family adventures! Hollands Wood – Camping in the Heart of the New Forest
If you’re after a real forest camping experience, Hollands Wood is the perfect spot. Tucked among the trees in the New Forest, this campsite feels like a proper outdoor adventure, while still being close to plenty of attractions.
CAMPSITE
Set right in the forest—just pick a spot under the trees for some shade (or shelter from the rain!).
Charcoal BBQs are allowed (as long as they’re off the ground), but no wood fires.
Surrounded by woodland and walking trails—perfect for exploring.
Wild ponies wander through regularly! Super cute, but keep your food secured.
FACILITIES
A small office selling ice lollies and renting out freezer blocks.
Three toilet blocks with showers.
Dog-friendly, so your pup is welcome!
NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
A wide shallow river with pebbly beach just 5 minutes walk away—perfect for paddling.
Brockenhurst town is a 20-minute walk (or 5 minutes by car) with supermarkets, ice cream shops, and tourist spots.
Ornamental Drive—a beautiful scenic route through the forest.
Reptile Centre—see native reptiles up close.
Wildlife & children’s farm—great for kids!
If you love forest vibes, ponies, and easy access to nature, this is the place to be!

My second favorite campsite for family camping?
Hill End in Gower, South Wales!
This place is a gem—four big fields tucked between the sand dunes and rolling hills of the Gower Peninsula. But the real highlight? The location. Just a five-minute walk through the dunes, and you’re on one of the best surfing beaches in Wales!
CAMPSITE
Four connected fields, including a ‘quiet’ field just for families
Wood fires are allowed (as long as they’re off the ground)
Sand dunes to explore, a little stream for kids to fish in, and of course—the beach!
FACILITIES
A café and bar for easy eats and drinks
A small shop with essentials—basic groceries, cold beers, freezer block hire, and beach gear
One big toilet block with hot showers (plus outdoor showers for rinsing off wetsuits)
A football area and a huge children’s playground
No dogs allowed (so keep that in mind!)
NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
The beach is right there—just a short walk through the dunes
More beaches within walking distance
Surf schools often run lessons right on the beach
It’s the perfect spot for a laid-back, beachy family camping trip!

Camping – you either love it or hate it! It is the ultimate long stay outdoor adventure. And our family love it! Are you a camping fan, and have you managed to get the family involved?
I`d like to share with you my top 3 of the best campsites for kids, so they get the camping bug too!
Camping is a great way to make the accommodation part of the adventures, see new places, let the kids roam around in nature, and holiday with friends. And once you’ve got the kit, it’s cheap too.
Number 3 is.. WoWo in Sussex
This one makes the top 3 best campsites for kids because of the huge fire pits, and the potential for exploring!
CAMPING
The campsite has 5 interconnected fields separated by strips of woods and streams, which are great for the kids to explore.
Rope swings adorn the trees and the rivers are made for paddling.
Every pitch has its own open fire pits with benches, and logs are available from the log truck or camp shop.
FACILITIES
A variety of food vans visit daily if you don’t want to cook, and a small shop offers essentials and snacks.
The campers barn has chilling sofas, fridges and freezers to cool freezer blocks, and a laundry room.
Hot showers and lots of small toilet blocks scattered around.
Dog friendly
Glamping options are also available – check out their yurts, bell tents, shepherds huts and geodomes.
(you can find the campsite weblink on my blog post)

Spring photos are not all about the bluebells! There is so much going on in spring - daffodils, crocus, cherry blossom, and every kind of plant at every park springing in to life. It all makes me want to go outside and play!

How to not squash the bluebells - and still get gorgeous photos?
Bluebells are many but they are tiny, low down, and delicate. So how do we get close to them to get great family pictures while not destroying the beauty we came to admire?
Bluebells are so delicate that wherever people have walked you will see paths through the bluebells, and if people continue to walk on them they will die and never come back. So we need to stick to the paths that already exist, standing only where we can see bare earth and a clear path.
It’s all about the angle to emphasise what we want to see! Shooting low, through the bluebells, from a distance with a longer lens, hides the mud and shows the beauty!

Tears from grandma!
We have had no shortage of positive feedback from friends and family alike (plus a few tears from grandma). Out only problem was choosing which photos not to use - I promise you the choice will be hard!
Cat, (new mum, Ruislip)
Personalities were captured!
Our photo shoot with Jenny was fantastic, a really relaxing and enjoyable trip to the park, from which we have some beautiful photos. She was great with our children and the informal nature of the shoot made sure that their personalities were captured in the pics
Helen (mum of two, London)
Made us feel very comfortable despite being camera shy
Jenny did a family photoshoot for us last year, and we loved her work so much that we asked her to do a photoshoot for us again to celebrate our twins turning two.
Jenny gave us some lovely pictures, and made us feel very comfortable despite the fact that both my husband and I are notoriously camera shy. We shared the pictures with our friends and family, and everyone was full of praise!
Thanks so much Jenny!
Sundus (mum of twins, Ealing)
You captured so many expressions!
Thank you for a beautiful range of photos! You captured so many changing expressions and the reality of being a 3 month baby, that we don't get to see in the thick of it.
Sejal (mum of 2, Harrow)
We absolutely treasure them
Jenny has done three portrait sessions with our family. She takes really fantastic photos - we absolutely treasure them. She’s also a lovely person to work with. Highly recommended.
Lucy (London)
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jenny and the photos she captured”
