Where your family’s story unfolds, and the feeling stays.
Intimate maternity, newborn, family & wedding photography in Kent, Surrey, Sussex & London
For families who want to remember how it felt, not just how it looked.
Not just the scene, but your place within it. The movement, the atmosphere, the way it held you, a little wild round the edges, in the loveliest way.
Hello, I’m Jacs, a Kent-based maternity, newborn, family and intimate wedding photographer, based in Tunbridge Wells and working across Kent, Sussex, Surrey and London. My work centres on motherhood and early family life as it actually is, not staged or overly polished, but full of presence, movement, and meaning.
I’m happiest outdoors, wandering woodland paths, chasing golden evening light along the Kent coast, or photographing families in the quiet comfort of their own homes. My approach is relaxed and unhurried, allowing space for things to unfold naturally, so you’re not just being seen, but truly felt within the frame.
I’ll offer gentle guidance when we pause for portraits, but most of what I capture lives in the spaces between. The curl of a fringe caught by the breeze, the soft squeeze of a tiny hand, the glance that passes between you without anyone needing to say a word.
These are the details that stay. The ones you return to. The ones that quietly become part of your family’s history.
in the loveliest way.

Heirloom family photography in Kent, Sussex & London
Modern heirloom photography for families who want to remember how it felt. Made slowly, with care, and designed to live far beyond the moment.
I photograph families gently and honestly, with space for things to unfold as they are. Child-led, unhurried, and shaped around real connection.
The small hands, the soft chaos, the quiet in-between moments that stay.
Made to be held onto.
Because these tender moments are where your family’s story begins.
“The photos you captured were beautiful, and we now have memories that will last us a lifetime.”
“We are in love with the photos, and she even managed to make me not look like an exhausted mum of two.”
“I had a lovely experience with Jacs during our newborn photoshoot. She made me feel completely comfortable and was amazing at helping to soothe my unsettled baby. The photos are absolutely beautiful.”
“Quite truly, Jacs is one of the most down to earth, kind, and friendly women that you could hope to work with.”
“Totally in love with the photos that Jacs took of my family and newborn.”
