About us
I am a part-time family photographer and a full-time mum to Charlie and Evie, two very loveable and energetic toddlers.
I love spending time outdoors and am never happier than when I’m on a beach blowing away the cobwebs, or out walking with my children, my husband and my dog. For as long as I can remember I’ve always had a camera and loved taking photos of friends and family. For me, the idea of being able to freeze a moment in time and capture a smile, a special moment, a kiss (or even a tantrum) is what photography is all about!
My style as a photographer is very relaxed and flexible. I am passionate about capturing the natural and happy moments that exist between family members, and I choose to shoot in a very unobtrusive manner, as some people can be extremely camera shy and find posing uncomfortable and awkward, so the last thing they want is a camera in their face. I balance out my shoots with some direction (if and when it is needed), but also shoot in quite a reactive style which works well with young children who just want to run around!
I know from first-hand experience that asking the majority of young children to sit and smile nicely at a camera will either result in a tongue sticking out, a crazy smile or them just turning away. To combat this, I tend to provide a lot of props to entertain and distract younger children, so they have fun and don't even realise their photograph is being taken! This is always why I like to allow up to 2 hours for a shoot, as sometimes it can take that long to get people to relax and get into the swing of things. Nobody likes to be rushed, and being rushed on a photo shoot will certainly not produce the best images!
I love watching the light throughout different times of the day and in different seasons to see how it produces a beautiful range of atmospheres and moods, and I love to capture this both in my own family and others. It is for these reasons that I always prefer to shoot in the great outdoors as no two days... show more are the same, and people always feel more free and relaxed.
I absolutely love my job and feel it is such a privilege to capture people and freeze that moment in time for them. show more
