Hello, I’m Polly!

a little about me…

I learnt photography back in the 90s, before the era of digital cameras. Shooting film taught me to slow down, observe and document with intention, something that continues to shape the way I work today.

After becoming a mother, I found myself reaching for my camera to preserve the details of family life that felt impossible to hold onto: the way my children looked at me, the weight of them in my arms, the beautiful ordinariness of our days together. Those photographs have only become more meaningful with time.

Today, my work is gentle, instinctive and rooted in connection. I'm less interested in perfect smiles and more interested in preserving what you'll never get back. The way it felt. The fleeting seasons that seem endless whilst we're living them and impossibly short once they've passed.

My hope is to create images that feel like art, that grow more precious with each passing year and capture something of how it felt to live this season of life.
