I'm Nic—your Newcastle family photographer who captures stories, not performances.

Here's the thing:

Your real, imperfect, beautiful family? That's what I'm here for. Not the version that holds still and smiles on command. The actual you—chaos, laughter, and all.

What makes me different?

I spent 16 years as an Early Childhood Teacher before picking up a camera. I can read kids' energy instantly, pivot when things get wild, and turn shy moments into magic. Most photographers panic when your toddler has a meltdown. I see opportunity.

I don't do stiff poses because I never figured them out. Instead, I give you things to do—walk this way, whisper something silly, everyone tackle dad. The real moments happen between my prompts.

Because here's what I've learned:

The best photos aren't about compliance. They're about connection. The sideways glance. The toddler grin. The hand on the small of your back. The moments that tell your family's true story.

What you actually get with me:

Space to just be. I help families let go of perfection and reconnect with each other in the middle of real life. No pressure to perform or look perfect. Just you, your people, and permission to slow down.

A photographer who rolls with your family's actual personality - instead of trying to force you into someone else's vision.

Someone who brings calm to the chaos and laughter to the awkward—so every session feels less like a photoshoot and more like time spent with a friend who gets it.

Images that feel like your family, not like everyone else's Instagram feed. The quiet moments. The loud ones. The fleeting stuff you'll want to remember.

The truth?

Other photographers will give you pretty pictures. I'll give you the photos that make you remember exactly how much you loved each other right now, in this messy, beautiful, right-now chapter.

That's the difference.
