What’s real is rare.
Through honest family, newborn & wedding photography in Derbyshire and Leicestershire, I preserve the moments that can’t be recreated — the kind that become legacy, not just images.
What to Expect

These photos are more than a gallery to scroll through once and forget. They’re your everyday reminders of how love looks in your family — the quiet cuddles, the big belly laughs, the fleeting seasons you’ll one day wish you could hold just a little longer.

I believe honest, storytelling photography is an investment — not just for you, but for the children you’re raising and the generations that come after them. Because these moments deserve to live beyond a screen, framed on your walls and held in your hands for years to come.


Here’s how we’ll make that happen, together.

My Style


My photography is rooted in storytelling — romantic, raw, and real. I’m drawn to the little things: the way your child rests their head on your shoulder, soft hands held tightly, or the way sunlight dances through your home. These in-between, unscripted moments are the ones I love the most — the ones that so often go unnoticed, but say everything.

I work in a lifestyle way, lightly guiding when needed, but always holding space for authenticity. You won’t find stiff posing or forced smiles here — just honest, emotive imagery that feels like you.

When it comes to editing, I lean toward soft, muted tones — warm but gentle, with earthy greens, buttery light, and creamy skin tones. I avoid heavy contrast or overly saturated colors so the emotion and tenderness of your session stays center stage. My goal is for your gallery to feel timeless and nostalgic — like a memory unfolding.

If you're looking for photos that hold feeling, that tell your story in a way that’s meaningful and true — then we might be the perfect fit.

Whispers of love

"Simona captured our wedding day recently and the experience from start to finish was just perfect! We had plenty of communication during the months running up to the big day and spoke about certain shots we would like etc. A few days before Simona had checked the weather and realised we could have a chance of rain during the outside photographs… obviously it rained! This didn’t bother her one bit and she remained professional and as organised as ever! The results are just stunning!!"
