Documentary photography of a home move — farewell sessions in the home you're leaving and first moments in the one you're beginning.

Moving home is one of the most significant transitions a family goes through — yet it's almost never properly documented photographically. The home you raised your children in, the garden where every summer happened, the kitchen where everything important was said — the instinct is to pack it up and move forward without stopping to record it.
A moving home session creates a photographic record of the home you're leaving *as it was* — lived-in, meaningful, full of the life you made there. And, if you'd like, photographs of first moments in the new home too.
These sessions are quiet, unhurried and often deeply meaningful in retrospect. Some clients have told me these are among the photographs they value most — the ones that captured something that is genuinely now gone.
Documentary photography of your current home before the move — the spaces, the objects, the family in the context of that specific home. Archive-quality photography of a chapter closing.
First days and weeks in a new home — the empty rooms before furniture arrives, the first breakfast, the children's first explorations. Documentary from the beginning.
Photography of the neighbourhood, garden, street and immediate surroundings — the local context that becomes part of family memory.
Portrait-style photography of family members *in* the spaces that defined their life there — not just rooms, but the relationship between people and place.
Delivered as a coherent, organised archive of both the home being left and the new beginning — a complete photographic document of the transition.
Sessions can be planned well in advance of a move or arranged at short notice. The session before a move needs to happen before completion day — I'll fit around your moving timeline.
