Hey, I'm Millie, natural light photographer & doula
Motherhood & family sessions will forever hold a huge place in my heart. My passion has and always will be documenting moments to last a lifetime, and to me, there is nothing more special than the people around us, whether that is family by blood or family by pure love. Simply put — I flippin love, love.
lover of all things love
For me, the whole entire motherhood process is sacred and as women, we should never feel scared to be judged or seen in the way that we really are. The moments we feel alone when really, there's a whole tribe of other women going through the same. I truly believe that it is so important to normalise normal bodies, normal women and normal motherhood journeys. And that includes all of the stretch marks, the gorgeous postpartum bodies that have housed and created your tiny human, the moments of weakness and the moments of utter love. But most of all, all of the moments that make up the everyday journey of being both a mother and a lover. I hope my art can have an impact on this world even in the tiniest of ways.
I’m not yet a mother but I have always looked forward to that day. When it is my turn, I want this world to be a space where I can come to all of you mothers for support and advice and know it’s a safe space, and that’s what I want for all the women I photograph from now and forever. I choose supporting & loving other women over competition every single day of the week and if you're here, I'm pretty sure you do too.
I am...
...a daughter, a sister, a friend, a doula and a woman who you can trust to be vulnerable in front of. I am a safe space for you and your babies. For to talk to, to be photographed by, to be comforted by, to be listened by and to be supported by. Every single woman I photograph becomes a part of my life no matter how big or small you may think your impact is, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
The way I capture moments is by purely documenting you as you are. Simply put...I'm a people watcher. Yet, I have a camera in my hand. Sounds a bit weird but I promise you it's not. I'll be there to guide you without you even realising and direct you into the moments that will become your lifelong keepsakes.
I've always been a huge fan of 'natural photography' yet we all know that there is nothing natural about putting on a beautiful dress and matching outfits with our families to go and stand in a field or a woodland.
That's just not what we naturally do, for obvious reasons. So instead of calling myself a 'Natural Photographer', I describe my work as 'The real over perfect. Always.'
Don't get me wrong, your tiny little team is perfect, but by this I mean that I capture the real moments, not the posed 'perfect' ones. I capture the moments that mean the most, the ones that are uniquely you, the extraordinary ordinary shall I say. Sometimes strange, sometimes hilarious, sometimes totally unexpected...but always absolutely perfect because they are authentically you.
And after all, that is the aim here right? To document you & yours in a way that can be looked back on for generations. A way that you will remember that exact moment, that exact belly laugh and that exact cuddle, exactly as it was, even 5, 10, 20 years on. That is what I aim do, for you.
I cannot wait to meet you & your littles...
...so let's chat!
