About Octo Photography
Authentic moments, natural light & unposed memories
Capturing the beauty of real life.
Photography for me has always been about genuine moments rather than forced perfection. Based in the picturesque mill village of Bollington, Cheshire, with the rugged hills of the Peak District right on our doorstep, I find endless inspiration in the interplay of natural light, textured landscapes, and real human connection.
Whether it's the quiet warmth between a couple, the joyful chaos of toddlers exploring outdoors, or the distinctive charm and curiosity of family pets, my aim is to make your session feel effortless and relaxed.
There are no sterile studios, harsh artificial flashes, or stiff posing instructions. Instead, we take a walk through scenic woodland trails, explore rolling countryside hills, or spend unhurried time at your home where everyone feels completely at ease.

"My goal is simple: to create photographs that you and your family will treasure decades from now — photos that feel just like the real you."
What Makes Our Sessions Different
Unhurried & Patient
Great photos can't be rushed. We allow plenty of time for shy pets to warm up, toddlers to play, and everyone to settle into the moment.
Stunning Locations
We work in iconic Cheshire backdrops — White Nancy, Macclesfield Canal, Middlewood Way, and Peak District hilltops — or the intimacy of your own garden.
Full-Resolution Gallery
Every session includes a private, high-resolution digital gallery with full printing and sharing rights. No hidden print locks.
