About Rebecca

I’m Becky, a documentary family photographer based in Bedfordshire, working across the South East.
My work centres on real family life — the connections, the chaos, the quiet moments, and the way people relate to each other when nothing is being performed for the camera. I’m drawn to honesty over perfection, and to photographs that feel like lived experience rather than a version of family life tidied up for show.
I take an observational approach, allowing things to unfold naturally rather than directing or posing. Children don’t need to be managed into moments — they already have their own rhythm — and my role is simply to pay attention and respond to what’s happening. The most meaningful images tend to come from patience, trust, and giving families the space to be themselves.
Before photography, I worked in animal welfare. That background taught me to read behaviour carefully, to work calmly in unpredictable situations, and to understand when stepping back is just as important as stepping in. Those instincts translate directly into how I photograph families, particularly with children — quietly, respectfully, and without pressure.
Travel has also shaped how I see. Spending time living and travelling in places like India and Spain taught me to observe more closely and to notice the small details that give context to a story. That way of seeing continues to inform my work.
I photograph families at home and in familiar environments, where life happens most naturally. I work instinctively, with a dry sense of humour, and with the aim of creating photographs that feel true — not just to how a family looks, but to how it feels to be part of it.
