From Salt Air to Keepsakes: Capturing Your Story by the Sea

There is something inherently timeless about the coast—the rhythm of the waves, the shifting light, and the way the salt air seems to strip away the noise of everyday life.

At Beside the Seaside Photography, I don’t just aim to take "pretty" pictures. I’m here to press pause on the fast-paced rush of life, capturing the beautiful, messy, and meaningful moments that make your story yours.

More Than Just a "Perfect Smile"

We’ve all been there—trying to get the kids to sit still and look at the lens until everyone is stressed. But your life isn’t lived in a pose. My focus is on candid storytelling. I want to capture the way your child looks right after a fit of giggles or the quiet, radiating happiness of a mother-to-be.

My philosophy is built on three pillars:

Authentic Emotion: Finding the "magic" in split-second reactions.

• The Little Details: Those tiny, unique perspectives that make your family's story different from anyone else's.

• A Relaxed Experience: As a mother to five gorgeous boys myself, I know life is hectic. I strive to make our sessions a joyful experience where you can simply be.

• The Power of the Split-Second

Photography has a remarkable way of showing us the beauty hidden in our everyday lives. It isn't just about pixels on a screen; it’s about preserving history. By capturing these special moments now, we ensure they live on for generations to come.

"It isn’t just about taking pictures... it’s about capturing emotions and stories that can last forever."

Whether it's the grand milestone of "growing life"

or the small, fleeting look of a toddler’s curiosity,

these are the treasures you will look back on for years to come.

Let’s Freeze Time Together

I believe that photography has the power to bring joy and inspiration. It is truly an honor to play a small part in your journey and to help you look at your life through a new, beautiful lens.

Hi, I’m Sophia. If you’re looking for a way to preserve your special moments against the backdrop of the world’s most beautiful coastal light, I really would love to meet you.
