Meet Tolu, your lifestyle newborn and family photographer based in Kent.


Photography found me over eight years ago, and I’ve been chasing light, connection, and honest storytelling ever since. What began as a creative hobby slowly grew into a deep love for capturing people in the moments that matter most. Over the years, I’ve explored many corners of photography—from landscapes to portraits, events to couples sessions—but nothing resonated quite like working with families.


There’s something incredibly special about being invited into those early, quiet chapters of parenthood. Whether it’s a newborn curled into a parent’s arms, the anticipation of a baby bump, or the playful energy of little ones growing up fast—these moments deserve to be remembered. I’m here to help preserve that joy, just as it is. Not staged or polished, but full of life and love in its most natural form. Because I believe nothing needs to be perfect to be beautiful.


My sessions are calm, unhurried, and led by the people I’m photographing—especially the littlest ones. I’ve trained in baby-led, natural photography, and I bring a warm, relaxed energy that helps families feel at ease in front of the camera. Whether we’re at your home or outside, I gently guide when needed and give space for real connection to shine through.


Outside of photography, I’m most at home in nature. I love long walks, fresh air, and any excuse to be outdoors. That love often weaves its way into my work. I’m always happy to blend nature and beautiful outdoor settings into your session if it feels right for your story. I also have a bit of an obsession with bouldering. It keeps me grounded, challenges me in the best way, and yes, gives me great squat form for those perfect baby-angle shots!


If you’re growing your family, or simply want to slow down and hold onto the season you’re in, I’d be honoured to help you remember it.
