Meet your Photographer
Hello!
I am Patrycja, wife, mum of two children and westie owner. I have a deep love for capturing the authentic, emotional moments that make life so beautiful. Photography has always been more than just a job for me—it’s a way of freezing time and preserving the quiet, fleeting memories that often go unnoticed. From the glow of an expectant mother to the delicate features of a newborn, and the genuine joy of family connections, I feel incredibly honored to be invited into such meaningful chapters of people’s lives.
My journey into photography began when I became a mum for the first time. I wanted to take photos all the time. After my second child was born, my love to photography grown even bigger. Unfortunately, as soon as my maternity leave ended I had to come back to my regular job. I’ve come to realise how important it is for me to capture these meaningful moments, so my children will always remember their early years. My hope is that one day, they’ll be able to look back on these memories and share the story of their childhood with their own families.
I completed numerous training and workshops which thought me how to safely pose a newborn, pose a mum to be or create family portrait. Over the years, I’ve developed a style that is soft, natural, and heartfelt. I aim to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply personal—photos that reflect your real story, your real emotions, and the love you share.
My studio is designed to be a peaceful, comfortable space where you can relax and feel at home. I offer a full experience, with carefully chosen props, wraps, backdrops, and guidance throughout your session. Whether we’re documenting your growing baby bump, your tiny newborn’s first weeks, or the playful bond within your family, I’m here to make the process easy, enjoyable, and memorable.
What drives me most is knowing that the images we create together will become part of your family’s legacy—treasured memories you’ll look back on for years to come. Thank you for considering me to be part of your story. I can’t wait to meet you and capture the moments that matter most.
