Portrait photography in Cheshire and the Wirral
Family memories CAPTURED on film.
Brand photography that feels like you.
sEVENTEEN years of helping people relax in front of the camera.
Hello, I’m Victoria…
Storyteller and portrait photographer based in Ness, on the border of the Wirral and Cheshire. I’m "Mummy" to two little ladies and I can’t drink a hot drink without a pastry, or at the very least a biscuit, on the side!
I've spent almost two decades photographing people — countless weddings, families on film, female founders building businesses and teams who'd rather not be photographed at all, but have to do as they’re told!
Whatever brought you here, I'll work with you to capture photographs that exceed your expectations.
I offer portrait sessions to clients across Cheshire, the Wirral and beyond:
Family, maternity and newborn portraits on medium format film
Personal brand photography for business-building women
I’d love to capture your story and if you’re interested, I’ll share mine with you…
WHO I WORK WITH…
The mum who's always behind the camera
You've got thousands of photographs of your children, but perhaps just one or two of you with the little people you made. A professional family sessions can put that right.
The founder who's still using a photo from three years ago
You're building something real, but that photo doesn’t exactly reflect that. Personal branding sessions give you a year's worth of images that work as hard as you do.
The mother-to-be or the parents of someone brand new
Those early days of parenthood where sleep is rare and time seems to stand still and fly by all at once… documented properly with beautiful portraits at home, outdoors or in the studio.

Why me?
I spent over a decade as a wedding photographer, which I still believe is one of the most challenging roles a photographer can play.
I've learned how to adapt at lightning speed to changes in your environment, from light and weather to the colours and layout of an interior. I’ve learned how to read people and respond to shifting family dynamics… trust me, having shot countless weddings I’ve seen it all!
I know how to pose people, from large groups to individuals. I know how to guide and position people in a way that makes them feel confident in me and my process. I intuitive know when to intervene and when to hold back in order to get the best shot. I have a way of putting people at ease in front of the camera so they can actually enjoy the experience. And this is the bit my clients appreciate most, before they’ve even seen their finished photographs.
I know what it is to run a business around a family, because I'm doing both. Whether you want film or digital, outdoors or studio, a milestone family album or a set of portraits that'll work hard for your business, I’ll talk with you to understand exactly what you envisage and why. Then I’ll deliver a collection of photographs that delivers on the brief and more!
Where shall we shoot?
Whether you’re looking for family, maternity, newborn or personal brand portraits there are plenty of options to choose from!
If you prefer to capture photographs in the great outdoors then somewhere that means something to you is always a good start, but if nowhere particularly comes to mind or you’d like some ideas then I've got you. I’ve put together a page with all my favourite portrait locations across Cheshire and the Wirral.
There you’ll find information about parking, accessibility, amenities, light and any other information you’ll need to choose a spot that works for you.
And from September 2026 you’ll also have the option to shoot in my garden studio in Ness. Very exciting! Watch this space…
Get to know me better
In 2022 I emerged from the pandemic with two under two, feeling like I’d lost my way. I wasn’t sure what to do with the wedding photography business I’d been building for over a decade as it felt like motherhood had changed everything, from my capacity to my definition of “success”.
I wanted to talk with other ambitious women who were navigating entrepreneurship with little people at their feet to literally find out how the hell they were doing it!
So in July 2025 I launched the Mum Means Business podcast, where I share open and honest conversations with marvellous mothers building businesses whilst raising their kids. If you’re a female founder or a new mum wondering how to make your work work in this next chapter of life then I made it for you!
Are you ready?
