ABOUT US

Hi, I’m Emma — a newborn, family and wedding photographer in Milton Keynes

Welcome to Purple Rose Photography. I’m Emma, a friendly and experienced photographer specialising in newborn photography, family photography and wedding photography across Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas.

I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember. What started as childhood snapshots of my siblings eventually grew into a passion that followed me through my adult life — even while I worked as a petrochemical engineer. A fortunate change in direction finally allowed me to follow my dream full-time, and I’ve never looked back.

Today, I’m proud to offer natural, relaxed and heartfelt photography that captures real moments and genuine emotion. Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, planning your wedding, or updating your family photos, I’m here to help you feel comfortable, confident and cared for every step of the way.


Why Choose Purple Rose Photography?

As a Milton Keynes photographer, my approach is calm, patient and family-focused. I know how important these memories are — and how precious it is to freeze those fleeting moments before they pass.

Clients choose me because:

  • I create a friendly, relaxed atmosphere so everyone feels at ease

  • I work gently and safely with newborns, using years of experience

  • I capture natural, candid moments as well as beautifully styled shots

  • I’m organised, reliable and fully invested in your experience

  • Your memories are treated with care, respect and professional attention

My goal is simple:
to create photographs you’ll treasure for a lifetime.


A Little More About Me

When I’m not photographing wonderful families and couples, I’m usually spending time with my own. My husband and our two boys are the heart of my world, and they inspire the warmth, patience and understanding I bring to my photography.

Outside of family time, you’ll often find me:

  • Knitting (many of my newborn props are handmade by me)

  • Enjoying long walks around Milton Keynes and the countryside

  • Practising karate — I’ve trained for more than 20 years

  • Cuddling our pets

These little joys keep me creative, grounded and always excited to meet the next family or couple I get to photograph.

I BELIEVE

Every photograph I capture is a privilege. To be allowed into a person’s life, to share and capture those memories, and the emotions at that moment in time. I feel truly privileged to be trusted to capture these memories.
