Hello!
I’m Alice, a documentary photographer in Cambridge, UK.
I love to make order out of chaos and art out of the ordinary. I’m driven to bottle character.
I have a family that is growing up too fast. My house is full of Lego and my garage is full of books I might yet read. I like making things but not with glitter, children's stories about more than just falling asleep in the end, and dark chocolate but a Freddo will do.
My own family photos let me enjoy the moment again once the dust has settled. They feel like love letters to my future grown up kids; a celebration of the weird and wonderful as they grow into themselves, and a grasp here and there of the moments that punched me in the heart along the way.
I love photos that mean something. I believe that being yourself in your photos is enough and everything. I’ll be a champion for your individuality.
Recognised five times as the UK's top documentary family photographer (Family Photojournalist Association) and in the top documentary family photographers worldwide (This is Reportage Family), I'm very happy to have won over 100 international photo awards over the years and to be a speaker and mentor in the photography community.
But most of all, I love to hear that I've captured someone’s character in a photograph.
I can be a bit camera shy (so if you are too, I'll understand). My knees bend in a weird way, so my feet will never be in shot when I'm photographing your kids on a trampoline. I never finish cups of tea while I’m working.
I love what I do, and I want great photos just as much as you do.
But enough about me - get in touch and we’ll talk about you instead.

“It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head.”
