About me

I LOVE what I do. And I know that makes me one of the lucky ones. Every day I’m working on the  thing I am passionate about, and I believe that shows in the images I create. I take the time to get  things right, and I pride myself on delivering what I promise. It’s fundamental to who I am as a  person – honest and genuine and dedicated to doing my best work every day.

At University I earned a degree in Illustration. The time I spent there taught me to see. It made me  an observer and a storyteller – two huge pluses when you end up creating photographs for a living.  On the way to being a photographer I indulged my creativity through fine art, ceramics, and graphic  design. All of those experiences feed into the photographs I take today – it’s a way of seeing, of  shaping memories into something solid. Something that lasts.

I became a mum in 2006 and since then, I’ve been laser focused on photography. I am so proud of  the business I’ve built, because its been made on a foundation of getting to know my clients and  telling each story well. It’s not just about the pretty, stand-alone images but also about the  beautiful story telling ones too. All of those stories are filled with emotion, vivid sparks of feeling  that tell a story on their own. If you get the warm fuzzies when you look back on your photographs,  then I’m doing what I always dreamed of.
