For families who cherish the beauty in everyday moments and embrace the magic of home.

Real Smiles, Real Joy, Real Family Moments


Photos that document your motherhood story just as you feel it: with love, laughter and a sprinkling of wonderfully imperfect moments.

Be Yourselves and the Beautiful Family Photos Will Follow


As a natural and relaxed maternity, newborn and family photographer, I embrace you and your crew just as you are.


After years of photographing families, I know the portraits you’ll treasure most aren’t the perfectly posed ones, but the that capture the in-between details. The little hand in yours, the joy of reading the same book over and over, the quiet cuddles in your favourite chair.


These are the moments that become a timeless capsule of your family story. Honest, heartfelt memories, all framed by the place you call home.

Your Home is the Best Place for Your Family Photoshoot


if you want photos that feel like family treasures

Your home is the perfectly imperfect backdrop to preserving your family's story in the most authentic and heartfelt way. It plays a special part in your family's story, holding a treasure trove of cherished memories and witnessing beautiful everyday moments as they unfold.


Your love is in every corner of your home and these are the real memories you and your children will want to remember. Whether you're preparing for your baby's arrival or knee deep in the wild first years of childhood, let's make a time capsule of real memories made in your family home. So in years to come you can show your children how loved they have always been.


And the added bonus of an in-home family photoshoot with Little Bodhi Photography? No travel, no props, no stress. Just unhurried, unposed and real photos of this magical chapter in your family's history.

KIND Words | In-Home Newborn Session

“It was too stressful to coordinate getting to a studio with a newborn. So when Debbie came to our home in Bristol it was such a relief. Even though we'd barely slept the night before and had a grouchy baby to deal with, she managed to do wonders with our new family and we loved receiving prints of all our photos!”
