Hello! My name is Lee and I am a Newcastle based freelance stylist, specialising in children's products and lifestyle photography.

I find inspiration from all facets of life but mostly from the sheer beauty of kids and my fondness for all things colourful, fresh and fun. I have a soft spot for intricate details and enjoy capturing the brightness and simplicities of everyday life in its most honest and uninhibited form.

I am available for commissioned work and would love to hear from you.
