I’m Pippa — a photographer, a mother, and someone who truly understands how quickly life’s special moments pass. Based in Darlington, I specialise in luxury newborn, maternity, family, and pet photography, creating timeless images that capture the heart of your family’s story.

With over 20 years of professional experience and a BA (Hons) degree in Photography from Bristol UNI, photography has always been more than just a career — it’s my passion. Over the years, I’ve worked everywhere from RAF bases to schools and portrait studios across Wiltshire and the South West. Every family I’ve photographed has taught me something new about the power of capturing real, honest connections.

Today, I’ve created a calm, welcoming studio designed to help families slow down and enjoy their time together. I’ve spent years perfecting my calm, gentle approach to working with little ones — something my clients now fondly call my “baby whisperer” touch. Whether I’m gently posing your newborn, capturing your family’s laughter, or photographing your much-loved pets, my goal is always the same: to create relaxed, beautiful portraits you’ll treasure for years to come.

As a mum — and as someone who’s had animals in my life for as long as I can remember — I understand that pets aren’t just pets. They’re family too. That’s why your four-legged friends are always welcome in my studio.

It’s a joy and a privilege to help families like yours celebrate these special moments.

I’d love to welcome you to my studio and create something beautiful for your family — including your furry friends.
