Memories Tenderly Held
Stories through my lens
These images and films represent the heart of my work - authentic moments between families who trusted me to document their most precious connections. Each story is unique, yet they all share the common thread of genuine love captured in natural light.
From wild adventures along coastlines to tender moments at home, from the anticipation of new life to the wonder of childhood - these are the stories that remind me why I fell in love with this craft. Every photograph and film you see here reflects my belief that your family's authentic moments deserve to be preserved as beautiful works of art.
Take a look through these glimpses of real families being themselves, and imagine how your own story might unfold through my lens.
Kind Words
“Have you ever had that special moment with your family and wished you can just ‘freeze’ the time and try hard to imprint that moment in your mind? Vanessa did just that for our family, all of our photos captured those moments, not just the picture perfect moment but also the silly, funny, chaos you name it.
We have three boys and she managed to not just captured each one of them in a frame, but also their characters that are so unique and different. The session did not feel like a ‘photo session’, it felt like a trip and play by the beach. We are all wet in some sort way by the end of it but oh so worthed it.
Time flies too quick and those years are definitely getting shorter. You know who to contact to help you ‘bottled up’ those memories. Highly recommended”
