Images that feel as natural and genuine as the memories themselves

Your family’s story deserves more than posed portraits—it deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt. I create authentic, timeless photographs that celebrate the love, laughter, and bonds that make you who you are

Hi I’m Morganna

A family and motherhood photographer based in Lancaster, close to the wild beauty of Morecambe Bay. I specialise in capturing mothers and families just as they are, telling authentic stories through honest, heartfelt images. Becoming a mother myself made me want to hold on to every fleeting detail, and that’s the gift I now bring to my clients. My work is all about connection, memory, and creating photographs that will be treasured for generations.

Motherhood Mini Session at Half Moon Bay with the Lucy-Lloyd Family

A Mother’s Day by the Sea | The Lucy-Lloyd Family at Half Moon Bay

There is something so special about spending time together by the sea. The fresh salty air, the sound of the waves, little feet exploring the sand and those fleeting moments of childhood that pass far too quickly. For this Mother’s Day mini session at Half Moon Bay, I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely Lucy-Lloyd family and their twin boys, capturing a little piece of their family story in one of my favourite places along the Lancashire coast.

Half Moon Bay has such a beautiful, understated charm. Even beneath an overcast sky, the soft coastal light, windswept grasses and weathered driftwood created the perfect backdrop for a relaxed, natural family photography session.

Motherhood Mini Session at Half Moon Bay with Leah & Georgie

Mother's Day Mini Session at Half Moon Bay with Leah & Georgie

There is something incredibly special about photographing mothers with their children.

Not because everything is perfectly coordinated or because little ones stand still and smile at the camera. Quite the opposite, in fact.

The magic is found in the cuddles that happen naturally, the tiny hands reaching for reassurance, the laughter that bubbles up unexpectedly, and the way a child instinctively melts into their mother's embrace.

That was exactly what made this Mother's Day Mini Session with Leah and her daughter Georgie so beautiful.

Intimate Bath Tub Motherhood Session: Sophie, Flora & Luna

An Intimate Bath Tub Motherhood Session with Sophie, Flora & Luna

There is something incredibly powerful about documenting motherhood exactly as it is.

Not perfectly styled. Not carefully posed. Just a mother and her babies, wrapped up in the quiet rhythm of everyday life.

When Sophie invited me into her home to photograph her with her beautiful twin daughters, Flora and Luna, we created something that felt deeply personal. The session centred around a simple bath together — a moment that might seem ordinary now, but one day will feel like a treasured memory from a season that passed far too quickly.

Autumn Mini Session at Fenham Carr with the Burbidge Family

Autumn Mini Session at Fenham Carr | Capturing Another Season with the Burbidge Family

There is something incredibly special about photographing a family year after year. Watching children grow, seeing personalities develop, and preserving those fleeting seasons of family life is one of the greatest privileges of being a family photographer.

This autumn, I had the joy of welcoming the Burbidge Family back to Fenham Carr for their second autumn mini session with me. Nestled amongst the rich colours of the season, Fenham Carr once again provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxed family adventure filled with laughter, cuddles, and those beautiful in-between moments that tell a family's story.

"I'm so pleased to have discovered Morganna. Our Mother's Day Mini Session was so relaxed and enjoyable and we now have a collection of beautiful photos to treasure. I love how Morganna captures intimate moments organically with gentle direction so the photos are natural and spontaneous. I would not hesitate to book another session with Morganna and to recommend her to other families."

Lisa, Mother’s Day Mini Session
"What a joy to be photographed by Morganna. Our children were so comfortable with her and what a stunning location she had chosen for our family autumn mini shoot. We can’t wait for more sessions."

Leanne, Autumn Mini Session
"We had a gorgeous backyard breastfeeding session with Morganna a few weeks ago and not only are the photographs stunning, we both really enjoyed it too. Morganna put us both at ease, my little girl always takes her time to warm up a bit and Morganna respected that, and both of us as she snapped away without much direction or prompting so it felt totally natural. It was also a really nice opportunity for me to reflect on my journey into motherhood and actually recognise how far we have come and I've now got these beautiful images of me and my little girl as a reminder of this. I would highly recommend Morganna, thank you so very much!"

Lynne, Motherhood Session
"We had such a wonderful time with Morganna for our family photoshoot. She put all of us at ease, my toddler, who is usually quite a wary boy of people he’s not met before, was really happy with Morganna and chatting away. It was a really relaxed session, just like a normal day at the beach, but at the end of it we got some amazing photos. All the photos we got were lovely, I’m struggling to pick which ones we will use as we got so many amazing ones. Thanks again, we really appreciate having some lovely family moments caught on camera in such an excellent way."

Meredith, Family Session
