Since establishing her business in 2011, Jo has developed a unique approach to each photo shoot she carries out to ensure every parent’s wishes are met.
Jo is passionate about capturing the delicacy and beauty of the first two weeks of a baby’s life, especially as these moments are so unique. As a mother of two, Jo understands the first days of becoming a new parent are filled with every emotion. In order to provide a comfortable environment, Jo works at the pace of each baby in her relaxed home studio in Chelmsford.
The shoots last between two and four hours to guarantee a calm experience for both the parents and the baby allowing time for breaks, feeding and changing. By carrying out a pre-session consultation, Jo understands the style of photography wanted and with a range of props, hats and backdrops available, the images can match an individual’s style and interiors exactly.
