I’m claudine

Photographer. SEN Specialist. sea lover. And your new favourite family friend.

Having worked in theatre, education and photography, for many years, my focus is on relationships. In all areas of my life. My shoots are about the connection between you and us, and your story.

I take you and your family as you are, making sure that I am with you all the way. Capturing the moments you want to make sure you have recorded forever.  After studying in London, then in New York at The International Centre of Photography, I trained as a teacher. Combining all of my passions into one and working predominantly with Autistic and SEN children in my teaching settings, means that I’m always on the lookout for ways to help families and support their journey to capture their most precious moments. The laughs, the intimate moments and the quiet moments- who cares- It’s all part of you. Your whole family. Your story.

I work all over the world, so don’t be afraid to ask- you never know where I’ll be. I have a base in both the UK and Perth, WA. My availability can be tracked on my Instagram page

My Philosophy

I think every child and family to should have access to a beautiful portrait shoot. That’s my opinion and that’s that. it shouldn’t matter whether your child has SEN or a diagnosis that puts them beautifully outside of the box…. In fact, we need to capture them even more. 

I focus on relationships and the bits in between. the small stroke of a hand placing hair behind an ear, the tightness of their hands in yours, the way you play together and explore the surroundings and find your space. I am there to capture it all.

It’s my job to make sure I notice all the small moments and piece together your story in images that you will cherish forever.

A Few of My Favorite Things:

  • Being in the mountains (I’m a skier)

  • Living it up in NYC

  • Watching the sunset (By the sea)

  • Capturing children right from the beginning
