Is this for you?
Let's face it, most people these days have too many photographs and have absolutely no need to call in a photographer. It is a real blessing for us all to have so much imagery thanks to phone cameras.
But perhaps you should still think ..."which one is going to be your legacy portrait?"
There are nevertheless a few people who are left out, who have no photograph they like.
The categories outlined below illustrate the circumstance where this could happen.
Possible scenarios
I believe every stage of life deserves to be seen and remembered, with dignity and care. This portrait service was created especially for elderly people who may not find it easy to get out and have their photo taken, but who value the idea of capturing this moment in time, and to be able to choose images they approve of.
For the Elderly Who No Longer Get Out Much
If you or someone you love is in their later years and no longer goes out often, whether due to mobility, energy, or just the season of life, I offer a gentle, in-home photography experience. No rush, just a relaxed visit, where we take the time to create a portrait that reflects the way you see yourself.
For People Living With Disability
Many professional photo settings aren't built with accessibility in mind. I come to you, on your terms, with patience and adaptability. Whether it's a physical disability, sensory challenge, or chronic illness, I work with care and sensitivity to make sure the process feels easy and respectful. The goal is to make you feel seen, not just in the image, but in the experience.
For Those Facing a Life-Limiting Diagnosis
Sometimes, when life takes an unexpected turn, there's a wish to capture how you are now, not just for yourself, but for those you love. A recent diagnosis can bring a flood of emotions, and many people feel a need to create something meaningful and lasting. I approach these moments with professional skill, and heartfelt respect. There's no pressure, just the invitation to be yourself.
A Doctor’s Eye, A Photographer’s Heart
As a retired family doctor and lifelong photographer, I bring a unique combination of medical understanding and artistic sensitivity. I know how to listen, how to notice, and how to put people at ease. Every session is shaped around comfort, connection, and capturing something real.
If you’re wondering whether this might be for you, or for someone close to you, I invite you to contact me by phone 0115 9830235 or via the contact page or any email link that is at the bottom of every page. We can then have a chat about it to see what I think about what is often a delicate situation.
