finding beauty in the ordinary

Leigh on Sea Family and Brand photographer

Hi! I’m Petra.

My goal is to tell your story in a beautiful and thoughtful way while ensuring you feel comfortable being your authentic and unique self. Everyone’s reason for hiring a photographer will be different but the most common reason is creating a visual legacy.

I get how much time and effort you put into your business, I’m right here with you! Let me help you to create pictures that shine with the passion you have for what you do. I also get the desire to be lost in those adorable moments with your people that keeps the memories alive.

For me, this isn’t about the pictures of our children, it’s the memories of the people around us. I feel the digital age has made documenting our lives so much more accessible but for me, personally, it’s important to include ME in the family photos. For my kids to look back on too. And although today may be like any other day, I like to think there is beauty in the ordinary.

About me
MORE ABOUT ME
“After the birth of our second baby, we went to visit Petra at her lovely home and we were made to feel very welcome. She spent time listening to what we were looking for and understanding our style. Having photos taken with an 18month old and a new born was never going to be easy! But Petra never rushed and had many ways of interacting with our toddler, getting the best out of her. We are so pleased with our photos and they capture the love in our family and this precious time for us. Petra is just the most talented, kind and loving lady and we can’t wait to get her round for some more photos later in the year! Thank you ♥”

“I was so over the moon with my brand photos! As someone who genuinely lives in terror of having a photo taken I was dreading getting some photos done for use for my business. Petra’s warm, friendly and natural approach put me at ease and she was extremely patient with me! Turnaround was very efficient with beautiful, clear, well organised images. I ended up with lots of lovely, non cheesy images and headshots for my brand!”

“Petra has captured moments of my family, I could only dream of being captured in a photograph, for me to look back on and cherish forever. ❤️ She made everyone feel so comfortable, even the most awkward (husband) relaxed into “it”. Thank you Petra for all of our beautiful images!"
