A family & event photographer based in Somerset.

Portishead has been my home for a few years now, and I love it, not too big, not too small, with the water close by (if the tide’s in!). Big enough for good coffee, small enough that the barista already knows my order! I grew up in Stratford-on-Avon (yes, the Shakespeare town) and later lived across several continents, experiencing plenty of change along the way - not least the ups and downs of parenthood. Through all of it, I’ve always had my camera. I love how photographs have a way of holding onto moments, bringing back memories, stirring feelings, and keeping stories alive.

I always loved doing anything creative growing up - messing around with paints, collecting pencils and filling sketchbooks, all made me very happy. The love for all things arty eventually led me to study visual communication (which sounds serious, but mostly meant spending a lot of time designing and making things look beautiful). It was there I found a darkroom for the first time and discovered loading film in total darkness and watching images slowly appear on paper was something I couldn’t get enough of! And between that and getting my first “real” camera, I was hooked for good.

When I’m not behind the camera, it’s yoga to reset, travel for perspective, coffee to savour, cats for company, family to come home to, watching films to unwind, good food to share, watching things grow in my garden, anything herbal, and sunlight to brighten everything!
