World-class portraiture
for creative families.

They grow up so fast,
hold on to it beautifully

About me

I was first inspired to make this work of my daughter when she turned one-year-old. I’d made a beautiful person, sustained her for a whole year and she was changing every day. The love and wonder I felt for her, combined with my own transformation was powerful. I wanted to be sure that I could always get back in touch with that feeling.

I’m a globally-commissioned, prize winning photographer. I draw on almost twenty years experience shooting for some the world’s most exciting magazines and creative companies. I’m now using this expertise to create beautiful portraits of children, from one year old upwards.

My process

I make striking artwork
that is deeply personal to you.

How it works

A vertical line with two small circles, one at the top and one at the bottom.

I set up a two light mini studio at your home. The shoot takes about half a day.

After the shoot you receive a printed contact sheet by post with nine images. You use this to create your artwork.

1 Creation

Empty vertical line on a plain white background.

I use the finest printing techniques and materials to ensure your prints are of the highest quality, providing lasting beauty for years to come.

2 Printing

Empty white space with a thin vertical gray line near the left edge.

Choose from a wide selection of custom frames, designed to work with your taste and style decor and enhance the portrait.

3 Framing

Empty vertical line with a small circle at the top

4 Delivery

When your Moochi artwork is ready, I will be in touch to arrange collection or delivery.

Images with integrity

I have honed my craft over the years working with the best editors, publications and printers in the photographic industry.

My process uses lighting technique and lens choice as a foundation for the photograph. On top of this sits the interaction between myself and the subject. I like to allow room for whatever the subject brings. It’s this intuitive and emotional space where portraits are made, and where the work can become something special and unique.

Prints & frames

There are a range of frames and mounts to suit your space and style. All frames are bespoke wood frames glazed with museum glass for ultimate clarity and UV protection.

These gallery-grade prints are made with fibre based papers and 11 different blacks. There’s a richness to the blacks and depth to the highlights that replicates the eye. It’s a world apart from the hyper sharp images of most digital processes.

How it works

I’m making art for your walls
not digital files for your hard drive.
