Photography That Gives Back
Relaxed, natural photography for people and communities, from personal portraits to charity and local events, with a donation-led approach that puts people and community before profit.
A Relaxed, Gentle, Approach
Many people feel unsure about having their photo taken, that’s completely normal. My sessions are simple, unhurried, and informal. There’s no posing knowledge needed and no pressure to perform. We just take things naturally, at your pace and let real moments happen.
What We Offer
Private sessions are donation based to one of the charities we work with, you decide the amount, whilst churches and charities receive community coverage completely free as part of the Photography That Gives Back project. You don’t need any experience in front of a camera, people relax within a few minutes.

Simple, relaxed, portrait sessions arranged with care and flexibility.

Coverage for Church events, community gatherings and charitable fundraisers subject to availability.

How It Works
Photography That Gives Back works slightly differently from a normal photography service:
Private sessions (individuals, families, couples, pets):
Instead of paying me, you simply make a donation of any amount to one of the supported causes. Once you send confirmation, we arrange your session and you receive your images as normal.
Churches, charities & community groups:
I photograph events and activities completely free of charge. No payment and no donation are required — this is my way of supporting the work you do.
Every session therefore either supports a cause directly, or helps a cause share its story.
Image Usage & Permissions
To help this voluntary project grow and continue supporting charities, selected images may be used on my website, portfolio, or social media.
By taking part, you’re giving permission for this type of use. If you have any concerns or preferences, just let me know, i’m always happy to respect them.
Images are never sold to third parties.
This project operates as a voluntary community initiative rather than a commercial photography service. I do not charge for photography and I never personally receive or handle donations — any contributions are made directly to the supported causes.
Sessions are arranged flexibly and occasionally may need to be rescheduled due to health or unforeseen circumstances. If this ever happens, clear notice will always be given and a new date arranged.
Thank you for your understanding and for supporting a project designed to help both people and community organisations.
