Farewell Photography
Funeral and Memorial Photography
Is all about capturing the moments that naturally unfold during a funeral, cremation, memorial or wake. Amid the tears and laughter, stories and connections, I am there to gently record the embraces, the people who are present and the thoughtful details you have chosen. Every step is guided by open communication with the family, making sure the photos reflect what matters most while keeping the natural flow of the farewell.
These photos become more than images - they are a celebration of a life lived, a record of the support that surrounds you and a reminder of the small, meaningful moments that often go unnoticed. Over time, these images offer comfort, providing something tangible to hold onto and reflect on, helping you to remember.
End-of-Life Portraits
These portraits are about capturing the presence of someone you love, the way they were. It could be a portrait of one person or it may grow into a group portrait of family and loved ones together. This doesn’t necessarily mean palliative care or in hospital, it could be portraits at home, hands held, laughter in the kitchen, stories shared or simply sitting together in a place that feels right. These sessions aren’t about perfection - they are about connection.
The images created become part of a family’s history. Photos that children, partners and grandchildren will return to - not just to remember a face, but to remember the love, warmth and feeling of being together. Often these are the images you scramble to find later - for a remembrance card or to frame - that hold the most meaning.
This photo was taken in 2019, while visiting my family in the Netherlands. My youngest daughter sitting with her ‘opa’ after a walk, A quiet moment that caught my attention, so I took the photo.
I didn’t know then that these would be one of the last images I would have of my dad.
Looking back, it is not about the big moments. It’s this - how he sat, the space, the way they looked at each other. It brings me straight back to that day in a way memory alone can’t.
That’s why this work matters to me. Having these images means you don’t have to rely on memory alone. You have something real to come back to - something that holds the connection and the feeling of that time.
