ABOUT ME

HELLO, AND THANKS FOR POPPING BY!

It’s great to meet you.

My passion is Wedding, Newborn and milestones– I’ve been a photographer for over seven years now, and I can honestly say I love my job!

I love real emotion; bringing tears of joy to families and putting a smile on people’s faces is what I crave.
I am honoured to be a part of so many magical and precious moments. Who wouldn’t love that?

I have always had a keen interest in photography. I was and still am that annoying mum (to my children) with a camera, snapping away, I genuinely enjoy capturing moments, and you can’t put a price on a photograph sometimes.

What I wouldn’t give for a lovely photo of my mum and me in my home.

About me

Photographing a wedding or a newborn baby allows me to create the most beautiful memories for them.

I’m able to photograph emotion, connection, love and new beginnings!
It allows me to freeze time within that photo, these are moments to treasure, and I love what I do.

I adore all the beautiful children that come into my studio and ensure each session is as relaxed and child-focused as possible. I believe that a beautiful portrait of your child or family should portray so much more than just a smile.

It’s lovely to reconnect with people, whether I’ve done your wedding photography and you have returned with your beautiful baby, or it started as a bump, and you have allowed me to capture your growing family. It’s a very humble feeling to be a part of so many milestones.

I source my props from all over the world, that said, I still love supporting small local businesses too, and these will be available for you to choose from on the day of your session.
I love discovering new ways to perfect my photographic skills to make my photographs even more beautiful. It’s the kind of art where you’re always trying new ways to create that ‘wow’ factor, that moment that will stick in your mind forever.

I have attended various training courses over the years, and I still attend some now, from time to time, learning new tricks of the trade.
They covered all sorts of areas of my business such as weddings, Newborns, Families, website/the technical stuff (not that I’m a very tech at all) as I am a big believer in investing in yourself and continuing to develop.
Far from it, I don’t pretend to know it all, but I love being creative. Every day can bring a new challenge, and I love that challenge!

 

Anyone who knows me would say that I try to seek perfection in everything I do.
I work with the vision that future generations will see your photographs of your family and friends.
I have always loved capturing those special moments you just never realised at the time.
As a family, we often have a flick through old photos – I love prints! And have a good old giggle, with a few awh’s!’ every photograph is a memory!’

I often wish I’d had the photo opportunities available when my children were little, even down to an excellent old Snapchat/Instagram filter. I love it!

I have been happily married to my husband and best friend, Dan, for over eighteen years.
We have four beautiful children, two of each! And We are both incredibly proud of each of them.
They all grow up to be hardworking, amazing people with big hearts. Their nanna would be super proud, too. Gosh, I miss my mum ღ 

My lovely Family

Whether I am photographing your wedding day or your newborn baby, I want to make your photographs the most beautiful, meaningful collection of memories you’ll ever have.

I would love the opportunity to work with you and your families.

No matter what you do make sure you capture it.
I love photos but have realised I don’t have any professional full family ones and I really need to change that.
