Imagine this… a family photo session where there’s no awkward posing, no pressure to be perfect, and no cringe-worthy forced smiles. Just you and your little ones, relaxed, playful, and completely yourselves.
Whether we’re in my cozy home studio, out in the wild, or capturing the everyday magic in your own home, I focus on real moments—the giggles, the cuddles, the chaos (yes, even the toddler tantrums!). I’ll gently guide where needed, but mostly? I let the kids lead the way. No stress. No high-pressure print sales. Just beautiful, timeless photos you’ll actually want to frame.
I’m Claudia, your maternity, newborn, and family photographer. A mum of two, a lover of good coffee and Jammy Dodgers, and your go-to photographer for natural, heartfelt family memories.

YOUR DERBY PHOTOGRAPHER
You want - no, need - your story to be told. You want your motherhood journey to be paused, collected, & shared. Be reminded of, & grounded in your beauty, strength, and worth as a mother.
Hi you, I’m Claudia Rose! It’s so great to meet you xox
Whichever milestone you book me to capture, our journey together won’t be approached with a set structure; instead time is invested to find out what’s most important. What do you love to do together? How was your pregnancy? What are your favourite memories together? Do you have any parenting worries I can help you address?
Your perfect photographer would just be quietly with your family, for all the ‘in-between’ moments, capturing honest memories, am I right?
Particular loves of mine: My boys, walks in the countryside, physical performance podcasts, Jammy Dodgers (I will eat an entire packet with NO regrets), Tarantino movies + I do have a bit of a soft spot for the tv that is Outer Banks….
