Jemima Joy

Hi, I’m Jemima – your mum friend with a camera.

​

I’m a lifestyle and documentary photographer based in Hastings, East Sussex, specialising in capturing the calm, candid beauty of motherhood, family, and all the little milestones in between. Whether you’re looking for maternity photography, newborn photography, family photography, birthday sessions, Christmas minis or branding photography my sessions are designed to create timeless images that tell your unique story.

​

From my cosy studio in Ore, Hastings, to sessions within your own home to the beautiful outdoors of East Sussex – including the rolling fields of Battle, the beaches of Bexhill and Camber, and other scenic locations – I work in a wide variety of settings for your session. Whether we wander through woodlands, roll in flower fields, sit by the sea, or visit a place that holds special meaning to you, we’ll create memories where your story feels most at home.

​

Sessions Designed Around You
My sessions are gentle, intentional, and all about making you feel completely at ease – seen, held, and captured authentically. I provide a curated wardrobe for maternity, motherhood, and baby sessions, along with thoughtful styling and a growing collection of props to create a relaxed experience that’s as unique as your family. Photography sessions can be as short and simple or long and tailored as you wish. 

​

From Styled to Candid

My photography style is a blend of lifestyle and natural, candid moments, combined with softly posed and occasional editorial touches. Whether you prefer a styled session or want me to step back and quietly document your family’s everyday moments, we’ll work together to let your story unfold naturally.

​

Capturing What Matters Most
Whether we’re documenting the quiet anticipation of pregnancy, the tender stillness of newborn days, the beauty in everyday chaos, the joy of birthdays, or the everyday moments of family life and what this chapter means to you, my goal is to create an experience that feels calm, connective, and completely true to you. These sessions aren’t just about photographs – they’re about preserving what matters most: the fleeting, unposed, and real moments you’ll want to cherish forever.

​

A Cosy Studio & Beyond
My studio in Ore, Hastings, offers a warm, lifestyle-inspired space that’s perfect for newborn photography, small families, and toddlers. The space can be styled and I can incorporate seamless backdrops of various colours. For those who prefer the outdoors, I photograph across East Sussex, from the countryside and cobbled streets of Hastings, Battle to the sandy beaches of Bexhill and Camber.
