Funeral Photography

Funeral Photography with Compassion and Care

Discreet, respectful photography that honours grief, love, and remembrance. Capturing the quiet moments, the lasting embraces, and the stories told in silence — all with emotional sensitivity and professional integrity.

Remembrance Photography

Capturing Emotion, honouring life, supporting healing, preserving memories.

A funeral isn’t just a farewell. It’s a gathering of love, memory, and legacy.

It might often be:
- The first time some family members have embraced in years.
- The last time others will be in the same room.
- A moment of quiet reflection, reunion, and raw emotion.

There are moments and people that you won’t remember — and many you won’t see. Yet one day, you, or others, might want to revisit them.

That’s what remembrance photography offers.

My Approach

Before, during, and after the service:

I photograph quietly and respectfully, often using long lenses, and always with absolute respect, compassion & tenderness.

Mostly from behind. Mostly unseen, always with the shutter click disabled.

Never invastive or intrusive, always intuitive and instinctful.

Photos are only black and white — except for one colour image of the floral tribute, carefully chosen.

At the wake:

I move gently and unobtrusively, over-the-shoulder, through the mirror.

Capturing connection, laughter, tears, shared stories — moments of joy within the love of grief.

You don’t need 500 photos.

You need a few that feel.

My Bio?

I’m not just a photographer.

  • I’m a psychotherapist with years of experience in grief, & trauma therapy, and end of life counselling.

  • I know when to lean in — and when to step back, physically and emotionally.

  • I wait for moments; I never manufacture them.

  • I shoot with hope, curate with precision, and present with meaning.

A style I call Emotionally Intentional.

What You’ll Receive

  • A beautifully edited, small online gallery of remembrance images.

  • Black and white photographs from the remembrance

  • Colour photo of the floral tribute

  • Candid, heartfelt moments from the wake

  • Optional printed or digital keepsake

Wondering If It’s Right?

Ask yourself:

If I could hold onto one quiet, beautiful moment from that day — would I want to?

If someone in the family will benefit from a photo one day in their future . . .

If the answer is yes, then I’d like to offer to be there. Quietly. Intentionally. With care, before, during and afterwards, when I personally handover your images, or album.

My Motivation?

As a psychotherapist and end‑of‑life counsellor, I’ve heard many clients speak of funerals they couldn’t attend — due to distance, illness, or circumstance. Years later, they still carry regret. I’ve also seen the comfort that emerges when a single photograph reconnects them with a loved one’s final goodbye. This service exists for them — and for you. To honour your goodbye. To preserve your moment. To gently support healing.
