What an amazing couple and her daughter modelling in this styled shoot, arranged for what was actually the same “bride’
It was such a special experience capturing these beautiful moments, filled with love, laughter, and meaningful connections. Styled shoots are always inspiring, but this one felt extra special seeing the bond between mum, dad and daughter woven into the story.
A day full of elegance, joy, and unforgettable memories.

My summer starter pack is, and always will be, Golden Hour ❤️ 🌅
When the sun glows like it never does at any other time of day, that’s when the magic happens. Summer is simply the best time to create beautiful golden hour portraits. Why? Because everything feels warmer, lighter, and the energy just flows so much better than it does in winter. Don’t you think?
I’m open for golden hour photoshoots, whether you choose the sea, the hills, or the woods.
I’ll soon be doing more engagement, wedding, and elopement golden hour sessions, but I’m still very much open for family shoots too!

Throwback to this beautiful family photoshoot at sunset in Bournemouth beach 😍
DM me to enquire.

Not me casually living the life I used to daydream about😍
Lately I’ve been shooting in some absolutely unreal locations! and this beautiful 50th birthday session near home was one of those moments that made me stop and think: “wow… this is actually happening.”
I’m genuinely so grateful for every person trusting me to capture these memories, especially in places that look straight out of a film scene
And honestly? The best part is that there’s so much more coming. South UK & South Wales… I’m coming for all the dreamy locations
Big things. Beautiful places. Lovely people. We’re only getting started 👏🏻

Happy birthday to my favourite person in the world, my muse, my fight, my fan number one, my supporter and also my worse headache! ( personality crash you know?) and as some people say: mini me!
Without her I wouldn’t be here today.
You made it to 9! ❤️

Spring days behind the lens:
Started the morning slow, green tea in hand and scrolling through Pinterest for a bit of inspiration — soft light, fresh tones, that effortless spring feel. Once I’ve got a vision in mind, it’s straight into prep mode: batteries charged, lenses cleaned, memory cards cleared… all the little rituals before heading out.
Next up, location scouting. Spring always brings the best surprises — blossoms, fresh greens, and that golden light that just hits differently this time of year. Then it’s onto the shoot itself, chasing light, adjusting on the go, capturing those in-between moments that often turn out to be the best ones.
Back home, the day doesn’t end there. Editing is where it all comes together — refining colours, enhancing the mood, and bringing the story to life.
From start to finish, it’s a process I never get tired of.

I’m shooting Bluebells next week on this same field. Message me for more info!

Bluebell season = dreamy photos… and a tiny bit of chaos?
After plenty of shoots, here are 3 things I always tell my clients:
- Outfit colours matter more than you think – soft neutrals & pastels let the bluebells do their thing
- Snacks are your secret weapon – happy little ones = natural smiles
- Always bring a spare outfit… because mud will happen
A little prep, and you get those effortless, magical moments (with far less stress!)

Mum photographers: I see you!
The women who pour their hearts into their work while also being mums, partners, carers and providers. The ones editing late at night after little ones are asleep, juggling school runs with client galleries, giving their creativity to the world while giving their whole hearts to their children. And to the single mums doing it all, your strength is nothing short of extraordinary. I truly admire you. You are superheroes 🦸‍♀️💪🏻
Being a mum is also where my own photography journey began. It started with a simple desire to hold onto the fleeting moments with my children (the quiet cuddles, the laughter, the love that fills the everyday).
Picking up my camera to capture those memories slowly became something more, and today I have the privilege of doing the same for other families.
Because the bond between a mum and her children is one of the most powerful and beautiful things there is. And without mums, none of us would be here.
Happy Mother’s Day!!

If Eat, Pray, Love taught us anything, it’s that sometimes you have to strip everything back to discover who(and wha)you really want to be.
This winter, I’ve been ‘eating’ up the quiet, ‘praying’ (metaphorically, anyway!) for some creative direction, and finally ‘loving’ the idea of niching down my photography business. It’s been a season of growth, even if it looked like stillness from the outside.
Spring is coming, and with it, the magic of Mother’s Day. I’ve been busy behind the lens with these portraits of mums and their children, and honestly? It’s been the perfect reminder of why I started this in the first place. There is so much love in these frames.
If you’re looking to freeze a little bit of that magic for yourselves, I have a few spaces left for next week’s mini sessions. Let’s celebrate the beautiful, everyday love.

’ve been feeling really grateful lately for the journey my photography business has taken me. I’ve been lucky enough to work across such a wide variety of projects, and it honestly means so much to me.
While my main niches are branding and family photography — and more recently, weddings — I also love being able to offer so much more. From newborn and maternity sessions to seasonal mini shoots, pets, and even charity work, every job brings its own story and purpose.
Some of the most meaningful work I’ve done has been through my collaborations with @disabledpeoplesvoice , and I’m so proud to be part of something that gives back and creates real impact.
Feeling thankful, inspired, and really excited to see what this year has in store!

Lately it’s been a bit wedding-heavy on here (and honestly… fair enough), but just a little reminder that weddings aren’t the only thing I do. I also photograph families, branding, pets, newborns and seasonal minis — and I’m always open to other ideas if you’ve got something in mind .

I’d love to know what you actually enjoy seeing on here though. More behind the scenes? More finished shoots? And do you prefer scrolling through carousels, watching reels, proper videos or just stories popping up?
Tell me in the comments — I’m listening 👀

I did this work as second photographer the wedding of L&M. Hands down to, undoubtedly, one of my favourite wedding photographers in Hampshire. Thanks @hsphotography_newforest for giving me the opportunity to work with you 😍😍😍

Workflow is never as we want it, right?
Between a main job, family, and all the everyday stuff that fills the week, photography has to squeeze into whatever time is left.
It’s not always easy, and progress definitely isn’t linear.

Some weeks there’s momentum, other weeks it’s just showing up tired and doing what you can.

But this matters to me. I keep turning up, keep trying, and keep building — because photography isn’t just something I enjoy, it’s a personal and professional goal I really want to see through. Even if it takes longer than planned.

This year has been one of deep self-reflection for my photography.
Of slowing down. Of questioning. Of finding my way back to why I started.
And the truth is: it has always been because of them.
Becoming their mum is what gave me the courage to take photography seriously. To see beauty in the everyday. To document love, connection and fleeting moments before they’re gone.
I wouldn’t be here without my children.
They are my reason, my inspiration, my why.
For now, I’m still holding onto the magic of the Christmas holidays (fully present, exactly where I’m meant to be)
I’ll be back in January, with a full heart and new energy.

See you in 2026

Thanks @weddingstorytellerco for the video🥰

Every Christmas I love picking up my camera and photographing my children. Life slows down a little, I get more time with them, and it feels like the perfect moment to pause and document the small, special things.
This year was extra special, capturing them posting their letters to Santa. The excitement, the belief, the magic — it might be the last Christmas where they both share that same wonder about Santa, which makes these moments even more precious to me.

This image was inspired by @meg_nlo and her wonderful Christmas family photos
So grateful to be able to hold on to memories like these!

Now is time for rest and quality family time.

Merry Christmas!
¡Feliz Navidad!

Getting ready for… the sweetest winter family sessions  Honestly, this time of year is pure magic — cosy knits, rosy cheeks, little ones bundled up and giggling, and families coming together in the soft winter light. Winter sunsets have been gorgeous lately too — those soft pastel skies and golden hues make the most dreamy backdrop for photos. Pure magic to capture.
And as much as I adore the winter vibes, I’m already looking forward to the shift ahead… preparing for the blooming season .
Longer days, fresh blossoms, golden glow — it’s all just around the corner and I can’t wait to create something beautiful with you.
If you’re dreaming of either a winter wonderland shoot, a golden winter sunset session, or a spring full of blooms, now’s the perfect time to get in touch. Let’s make some memories.

Lovely winter sunset photoshoot with this beautiful family last week 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for being here. To everyone who’s stuck with me since the very beginning of my creative journey — long before I stepped fully into photography — I appreciate you more than you know.
And to all my lovely clients, thank you for your patience, your support, and for coming back to me time and time again. It means the world that you believe in my work.
Starting a photography business isn’t easy, especially while raising two little ones and juggling everything that comes with not having much time. But here I am, still creating, still learning, still growing.
I’m Grace Croune — and this is me.

If you knew me, you’d know... I’m a bit of a photography addict, but I’m absolutely rubbish at picking a favourite niche! Why choose when you can love them all, eh? Every style has its own incredible vibe.
Take portraits, for example: they’re brilliant because you get to connect with people and have a right laugh while you’re at it. Then you look at landscapes—pure escapism, showcasing the stunning nature right on our doorstep. If you need something slick and polished, branding is where it’s at for that professional feel. And don’t even get me started on weddings! Documenting that pure, unfiltered love and happiness... it’s just the best, honestly.

Here is some photo of the sessions of Thai massage with our local yoga therapist @emilybruce.yoga. Is always a pleasure to be able to photograph you!

And don’t even get me started on weddings! Documenting that pure, unfiltered love and happiness... it’s just the best, honestly.

Here is some photo of the sessions of Thai massage with our local yoga therapist @emilybruce.yoga. Is always a pleasure to be able to photograph you!

Christmas Mini Shoot Season is HERE!

You know those things you just become completely obsessed with? Well, for me, it’s Christmas mini photoshoots! I’m genuinely buzzing!

Guess what? The Christmas mini photoshoots officially kick off this weekend, and I honestly can’t wait!
I’m so incredibly excited to see all the lovely families who are coming in. Get ready for some serious festive cheer and gorgeous photos! We’ll be making some cracking memories, I promise.

A little heads-up: I’ve got a tiny bit of availability left for next weekend (22nd) if anyone fancies sneaking in.
Also, I’m thinking of opening up one more date in early December if there’s enough interest, as spots have been flying out!
If you’re still looking to book your festive family portraits, give me a shout/DM me ASAP! Let’s get you in the diary!

Right now I’m grateful for the opportunity to actually make a go of something I genuinely love. Photography has always been my thing, and though the business side of it is taking its sweet time to build up (it’s a slow burn, not going to lie!), it feels properly satisfying. Every candid wedding moment I get to capture reminds me I’m on the right track. Happy days!

Story time! ( about small victories!) I actually got into wedding photography completely by accident.
A year ago A&B asked me to shoot their wedding. My immediate reaction? Pure panic. 😱
I’d never shot one before! I was totally honest and told them, “I’m so flattered, but I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing!”
But they trusted me. They loved my style and were happy to take a chance. So, with my heart hammering, I said yes.
The day was pure magic. Yes, I was terrified, but I was also buzzing. We were all completely chuffed with the photos (especially me!).
I instantly fell in love with capturing these kinds of big, joyful days.
But I also knew I couldn’t just ‘wing it’ forever. So, I dived headfirst into training and workshops to properly learn the craft.
Fast forward to today, and here we are! It’s been a massive journey from that first ‘oh crikey’ email, and I’m so grateful to A&B for starting it all. What an adventure, eh?

A big, positive lesson I’ve learned recently: Presets are a handy tool, but for me, they actually became a bit of a trap! I honestly thought they were the key to getting ‘better’ photos, when in reality, they were limiting my creativity and stopping me from finding my own style. Since I stopped relying on them, I’ve finally started to develop an editing style that is 100% genuinely me, and I’m really happy with the results! It’s all about finding that freedom. 🌟

My favourite part of Autumn is…(finish the sentence)
Mine is the sheer explosion of colour! 🍂🍁
Seriously, every year I fall more and more in love with the incredible colour palette this season brings. It’s like the world turns into a massive, gorgeous painting.
Think about it: those rich, deep ochres, the fiery rusts, the dazzling crimsons, and those stunning golden hues that light up the woods and parks. When I was younger, I don’t think I fully appreciated just how beautiful these tones are. But over the years, my love for the warm colour tones of Autumnal nature has just grown and grown. Now, it’s something I actively look forward to.
It’s the perfect excuse for a cosy walk and some seriously good photos—especially for capturing those beautiful family moments! And speaking of photos, I’m currently running my popular Autumn Mini Shoots throughout October to capture your family amongst all this seasonal magic! Just check out these colours in the photos! Get in touch soon if you’d like to book yours before the leaves (and the dates!) are gone. 📸

What’s your favourite Autumn colour?

The first thing I did with my camera was photographing my children. All started in 2020. They are the reason I am here today, shooting families and little ones for a living. Honestly, looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing. Who knew that picking up a camera all those years ago would turn into this amazing journey? Capturing those fleeting moments, the genuine smiles, and the cheeky grins – it’s what truly makes my heart sing. It’s more than just a job; it’s my absolute passion, and I feel so lucky to do what I love every single day. 💖

( if anyone gets to read this… look how much my daughter has changed since 2020! )

My advice for parents before a photoshoot...

As a family photographer, I know it can be a bit daunting to get everyone ready for a photoshoot. But don’t you worry, I’ve got you! A little bit of prep goes a long way to making our time together relaxed and fun.
My biggest tip is to make a day of it! Plan a fun activity for after the shoot, like a trip to the park or a favourite cafe for a treat. This gives the little ones something to look forward to and helps keep them in good spirits.
And for more tips and tricks, I’ve put together a blog post with everything you need to know: “Tips for Preparing Your Little Ones for Family Photoshoot Day”. You can find it on my website! [Link in bio]. It’s full of handy hints to make sure your family photoshoot is a lovely, memorable experience!

Lovely photoshoot with Becca and her lovely family at #lakesideeastleigh before they went for a treat to @lakeside.eastleigh 😍
