A LITTLE SNIPPET ABOUT ME



Hey! I’m Jo. I'm a wife, a mum to two awesome girls, and also the owner of the baby brand, MOD & TOD.


After the birth of my first daughter, my family became my muse, and I fell in love with portraits and newborn photography.


I feel so incredibly privileged to be able to help families capture the authentic memories they can treasure for many years to come. Thank you so much for choosing me to capture these special moments in your lives.

CLIENT'S FEEDBACK

Ellie Nicholas

“I took my baby to Jo for her Newborn photoshoot at 9 days old and it was a wonderful experience. Jo herself was welcoming and so gentle with my daughter. When you have a newborn, things made easy for you, goes a long way. There was free parking right outside, the studio was lovely and warm and the facilities were great, eg change table. Jo worked her magic and produced beautiful photos of my little one that I can now treasure. Thank you for the great experience and your wonderful work Jo.”
