Family shoots - Portraits - Headshots - Business Branding - Events So I took the plunge – and have never looked back.

I see life through a lens

I have been inseparable from my camera ever since I was a little girl. Photography is my dream career and I still have ‘pinch me’ moments. I worked for twenty years as a broadcast journalist in the biggest newsroom in the world. I learnt the craft of story-telling from my talented and experienced colleagues. Transferring those skills to fine tune my stills photography ca

me naturally, but I never imagined I could turn the hobby I was so passionate about into a career. The lightbulb moment came when my children started school – suddenly I had a pool of diverse and willing models to practice on (their classmates). My own impatient children are, sadly, much less willing guinea pigs, particularly when I have run out of bribes. As my portfolio grew, I was greatly encouraged by both my local community and my BBC colleagues to put down my journalist cap and follow my dream. I have experience in many areas of photography, including business headshots, website content, press events, family shoots and portraits. I feel honoured and privileged when chosen to photograph your portraits and intimate moments – it’s a big responsibility and I take that seriously. I strive to capture natural, thoughtful and joyful photographs with a focus on reportage style – story-telling through images. My aim is to deliver pictures that you just can’t stop looking at and want to share with the world, because they have captured you and your family so perfectly at that moment in time.

Nursery shoots are the most demanding days of my year as a photographer. I have to show up mentally and physically ready, because it’s so much more than lighting, backdrops, and camera settings.

The real work is helping tiny humans feel safe, seen, and brave in front of the lens. Some days that means being the silly, big-energy entertainer. Other days it means slowing down, reading the room, and giving a nervous little one the space they need.

That moment we click is the greatest reward, with a giggle or gap toothed smile for the camera. Often followed by a cuddle when we’re done.

It’s graduation season now, and I feel so lucky to be invited back to capture this tender, adorable milestone.

Just lovely. Made me want to immediately pick up a pen and paper and write to all my nearest and dearest 🖊️ ✉️

A glorious intimate Wandsworth wedding, my first at St Anne’s Church. It’s always such a privilege being part of a couple’s most special day and I often find myself smiling and wiping away tears with the rest of the congregation ♥️

My camera equipment costs thousands, but my jokes remain absolutely free (lucky you!)

A behind the lens look at how I try to put my subjects at ease.

I find the best way to get a genuinely candid expression from a client is to inflict my unapologetically cheesy sense of humour on them. But I’m terrible at remembering the punchline and I need some new material. So please share your favourites and let’s see what reactions I get with them!

Don’t get me wrong, I work very very hard at events! But after spending a few weeks taking Nursery portraits, where I have to play the role of children’s party entertainer as well as photographer, there is a joy in tucking myself away in the corner and capturing moments as the evening unfolds. It is still all about human emotion but here I’m waiting with my finger poised on the shutter button, rather than prompting the moment myself.

Event photos from a fabulous fundraising gala evening at - raising funds for their mission partners. Can you guess the theme? 🎥 🍿
