About me

Hi, I’m Tracey, a lifestyle family photographer, memory keeper and chaos coordinator!

I’m also a mum to two little girls, so trust me when I say I know family life isn’t perfectly posed. It’s wild hair, sandy toes, snack breaks, cuddles that turn into wrestling matches, and little hands reaching for you when they need comfort. And honestly? That’s the magic I’m always chasing.

After 20 years working with children as an educator, connecting with little ones comes naturally to me. I know when to gently guide, when to step back, and how to turn even the busiest, shyest or silliest moments into memories you’ll want to hold onto forever.

My sessions are relaxed, playful and completely child-led. No stiff posing, no pressure for perfect smiles, and absolutely no expectations for your kids to “sit still.” Instead, we lean into the real stuff, the belly laughs, the tight cuddles, the messy affection, the way your child melts into your arms without even thinking about it.

Because years from now, those are the moments that will matter most.

My style is candid, warm and deeply connected. I want you to look back at your gallery and not just see what your family looked like in this season… but feel it.

Let’s create some magic that feels real, heartfelt, and uniquely yours x
