Sleep or no sleep, this little one was just the mo Sleep or no sleep, this little one was just the most wonderful, calm and engaged newborn I have every photographed! At 2 weeks old, he had already decided that sleep wasn't for him, but his eye contact was amazing and he lay calmly allowing me to pose him comfortably throughout the session! What a gorgeous new family! Every newborn is different and not all sessions are the same, but they are all baby led and uniquely yours! If you are due a baby in 2026, get in touch now to register your due date with me and book your newborn photoshoot. ❤️ #oxfordshirephotographer #NewbornPhotograper #babyphotographer #hazelnutphotography
While the rain pours outside, I keep thinking abou While the rain pours outside, I keep thinking about the warmth, calm and beautiful connection from this at-home newborn shoot last month 🤍 Being at home made such a difference. No rushing, no packing bags, no worrying about the weather — just slow moments, cuddles on the sofa, and space for siblings to relax and be fully themselves. It was gentle, unhurried and honestly such a joy to photograph. Although I usually photograph newborns in my studio, sessions like this have reminded me how special home photography can be — not just for newborns, but for families too. Your home holds your everyday togetherness: the way you gather, cuddle, play and connect — and that’s exactly what I love to capture. Especially during these cold, wet months, an at-home session is a cosy, stress-free alternative to outdoor photos, while still creating timeless, meaningful images that feel truly you. If you’ve been thinking about newborn or family photos but want something relaxed, natural and full of connection, an at-home session might be perfect for you 🤍 Please feel free to message me to find out more — I’d love to photograph more families this way. #NewbornPhotography #OxfordshirePhotographer #athomephotography #HazelnutPhotography
As we step into a brand new year, I realised many As we step into a brand new year, I realised many of you know my work — but not so much me. This photo feels like the perfect way to start — taken last summer by the incredibly talented @andthensheclicked. So here are some facts about me! 1. I grew up in West London surrounded by grey, so I adore and appreciate everything the countryside has to offer 🌿 2. I used to be a primary school teacher. I love working with children but I especially love getting to plan photoshoots they'll enjoy while also having time to spend with my own kids! 3. I have two wonderful daughters (Hazel & Cleo) who are your typical little monkeys! They love each other fiercely, but argue relentlessly 😂 Taking them out for photoshoots is something I have long since given up on (I outsource now 😁). 4. My husband is a Royal Marine and is often away, we miss him a lot when he travels! 5. I am a real lover of 90's, nostalgia and pop culture! Nothing makes me happier than listening to 90's punk, playing Sonic on the Megadrive or rewatching the Animals of Farthing Wood with my daughters. 6. I would happily eat breakfast for every meal and one of my favorite things is a hotel breakfast buffet! 😋 7. Skiing and snowboarding are my obsessions! I did a ski season when I was in my 20's and it was the best! I would love to live in the mountains, its my happy place! 8. On Sunday I am crossing that boundary from 'being 40' to 'being in my 40's' (there's a big difference!) 😅 If you’re new here, welcome. And if you’ve been here a while — thank you for trusting me with your memories 🤍 Here’s to another year of connection, chaos, cuddles and beautiful stories being told. #FamilyPhotographer #OxfordshirePhotographer #behindthecamera #HazelnutPhotography

Seven years of photographing this beautiful family Seven years of photographing this beautiful family, and somehow each session feels even more magical than the last ✨ On this cold and wet Autumn morning, i'm remembering warmer, longer days.... We spent the evening chasing that golden light, playing games, laughing hard, and letting the kids just be themselves — no posing, no pressure, just pure joy and adventure. These are the moments I love capturing most… the ones that feel like childhood bottled up in a frame. Feeling so grateful to document their family year after year. 📷✨ #FamilyPhotographer #OxfordshirePhotographer #Wallingford #family

Golden hour isn’t just about the light… it’s Golden hour isn’t just about the light… it’s about the laughter, the hugs, and the adventure.

It's a fine art getting toddlers to 'perform' for It's a fine art getting toddlers to 'perform' for the camera. Guess what rarely works - 'smile!' (Although say cheese often gives a spectacular grimace 😬 😂) Finding what they love is the key and keep it light, fun and stress free! I especially love this first shot, it's so full of potential meaning.....in reality, it was 'the babies on the bus go shhhh, shhhh, shhhh'. 😜 What do you think we were doing in shot 2? Guesses in the comments! 😉 #familyphotoshoot ##oxfordshirefamilyphotographer #oxfordshire #toddlers
When a client tells me that the photos I’ve take When a client tells me that the photos I’ve taken brought them to tears… it stops me in my tracks. "They surpassed my greatest expectations." That right there — that’s everything. That’s the reason I pour my heart into every session the season I do what I do. ❤️ #familyphotographer #Oxfordshire #thank you
