Time goes so fast....
And for over 12 years I have been stopping time for hundreds of families. Hi, I'm Sandy Jones, family photographer, grandmother to 10 absolutely gorgeous boys, one amazing little Queen and now another little baby girl has joined our clan. I have always had an early love of art & graphics, since computers first came on the scene. Then once grandchildren started arriving my true love of photography began to blossom. When my own children were small, photography was film and daunting - and I regret not learning sooner. My style of photography has changed over the last decade and is always evolving, now capturing more with heart to create, unposed, authentic, raw moments. Images that capture the true essence of each individual family, especially motherhood. Join me in my small boutique studio at home or outside at one of our stunning locations, especially during the golden light at the end of the day is my fave and lets stop time in its tracks for a moment., I don't only do babies (although it is my favourite thing to do) family portraits, maternity, child portraits, siblings, or try a cake smash session for your one year old. My studio is fully set up for newborns and families with a natural and organic style. Contact me well in advance if possible, for more info and to organise a time to have your own family moments captured.  |

KIND WORDS
Sandy is such a talented photographer, but she does more than just take beautiful pictures. She was so nurturing with my 2 young children, it was beautiful as a mother to see a stranger be so gentle and kind. It showed me that it's more than a job to her, it's a passion. The atmosphere was so relaxed, even with a newborn who decided she wasn't sleeping and would like to stay awake, and then screamed the studio down toward the end. Thank you Sandy, not just for the gorgeous photos that we've fallen in love with, but also for the beautiful experience.
