About Me: 

I grew up in Guildford and have always been based in the Surrey and Hampshire area; currently living in Bordon with my husband and 2 little pups. Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, inspired by my dad and grandad, who both shared a real passion for this craft. They were particularly interested in nature photography and that is the area I therefore started with, following in their footsteps.

My first digital camera was a little Nikon Coolpix that went everywhere with me. I have such fond memories of summer trips to Wisley Gardens with my grandad, taking endless close-ups of flowers and bumblebees. I’d rush home excited to upload the photos to the computer to see how they’d turned out! I still smile thinking about how impressed he was with some of my shots — so much so that we almost turned our visits into a friendly photography competition as he didn’t want to be outdone by his grandchild!

My interest only grew from there. I chose photography at GCSE, achieving an A, and continued on to A-level, where I earned an A*. During that time, I also discovered film photography and learned how to develop images in the darkroom — an experience that deepened my appreciation for the craft and the magic behind every image.

I also attended a couple of family weddings as a teenager and of course took my camera along as I wanted to capture their special day in my own way. I remember sharing my photos back with them after the day and was complemented as to how I captured the essence so well and even said that they preferred some of my images over the actual photographer they hired :)

Alongside photography, I have a strong interest in geography and environmental biology, which I ended up going on to study at degree level. However, photography has always remained my true passion, something I just keep coming back to - especially throughout my travels after uni where this spark was reignited once more. Finally, after several years working in the corporate world, I have now decided it is time to follow my heart and pursue a career doing what I truly love.

I genuinely love all aspects of photography. Whatever the subject or occasion, I’m always searching for those beautiful, natural moments and the very best shots to tell a story. Any support as a new photographer trying to establish themselves in this industry will be truly appreciated!
