Hi, my name is Jennifer Hempson and I love exploring life’s moments and capturing them on camera. Big ones like the addition of a new family member, simple ones like capturing a special moment in time i.e. A family just being together at that specific time. We all know how hectic life can be, how time flies and how children grow up so quickly.

My passion for photography began when I was very young, the box of old family photos would be brought down from the loft and sifted through as if we had never seen them before – Reigniting feelings, memories and nostalgia. I believe this is why I love capturing today’s memories and preserving them for the future.

“Photography is a form of time travel”  – Neil Degrasse Tyson

In my teens, travel and landscape photography was the focus of a lot of my photography as I was lucky enough to travel to some lovely places with family and friends. I would often and still do, ‘see the shot’ before I even have looked through a camera lens. This turned in to a passion for taking photos of people in a variety of settings and became a creative outlet, a way for me to document the world and my experiences as I grew. I soon realised how much joy I felt and how rewarding it was to take “that” photo, a story telling, powerful piece of art that would last for eternity. I was hooked on developing as a photographer and on making my hobby/passion a full time career.

“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still” – Dorothea Lange

The birth of my daughter “Polly-Rose”, was a time when I realised even more so, the power and importance of photography. I wanted to hold on to every second of this new life unfolding before me. Initially, it was all about firsts: first smiles, first steps, first holidays – until I realised there was magic in everyday moments too.

As well as doing natural and relaxed family studio based portraiture, I very much enjoy on-location natural light photo shoots and weddings. I love how being in the great outdoors naturally relaxes people, especially children so that they can be themselves in front of the camera but I do pride myself on providing a very relaxed environment within my home studio – My review page highlights this.

When I am not busy doing all things photography related, I am mummy to my gorgeous 4 year old daughter and wife to my wonderful, encouraging and supportive husband.
