Capturing connection, coffee, and community with Kensington & Chelsea's finest mums.

If you ever need a reminder of how powerful a room full of supportive women can be, look no further than a Mum Club event. Yesterday, I had the absolute pleasure of heading back out with The Mum Club Kensington and Chelsea to photograph their monthly brunch club, and it was exactly the kind of bright, uplifting morning we all needed.


This month’s venue was the every gorgeous Lina Stores in South Kensington. If you haven’t been, the iconic pastel mint green interiors and unbeatable Italian deli vibes provided the most beautiful, bright backdrop for our photos.

GOOD FOOD, GREAT COMPANY


The morning was wonderfully fun and relaxed. From the moment everyone arrived, the atmosphere was buzzing as everyone settled in for a morning of hot coffee (yes, actually hot!), a bite to eat and genuine conversation.


As a newborn and family photographer in London, I spend my life capturing the chaos and beauty of early parenthood - but as a mum myself, I also know how isolating those early days can feel. That’s why I love these events. My focus is always on capturing the real moments that make TMC so special: the knowing smiles shared over a table, the hands reaching out to hold a baby so a friend can eat, and that instant sense of relief when you walk into a room where everyone around you just 'gets it'.

A GORGEOUS POP-UP SHOWCASE: CUTE COUTURE LONDON


Adding an extra touch of magic to yesterday’s brunch was a beautiful pop-up showcase by local brand Cute Couture London.


If you are a fan of classic, timeless children's wear, you would have been swooning. They brought along a stunning selection of their signature hand-smocked dresses, designed for children aged 6 months to 8 years. Seeing the intricate details and gorgeous fabrics up close was a real treat for the mums, and it’s safe to say quite a few beautiful purchases were made.


Local Biz Love: It is always so special to see local brands supporting one another at these events. Cute Couture London’s pieces are the definition of heirloom quality.
