This is me, not a fan of being in front of a camera, but I love being behind one.  I've been shooting weddings and families full time since 2012. Although the pendulum swings as to what I shoot more of, I can't see myself shooting one without the other. More recently I have begun exploring the area of motherhood and what that means. It's an ongoing venture/project/art form that I am loving exploring. Birth photography is also something I am now offering, and I couldn't be more thrilled or humbled to be asked into such a precious space.

I'm a deeply emotional creature, I blame that on my star sign (Cancer) but it means that for me, connection is everything.

I love the quiet just as much as the loud.

I love weddings that are fun and bold.

I love an elopement that sits quietly between the two of you.

I love families at home full of mess and life

I love a clean, sparse palette

I love a beach shoot where we can run and play

I love you to be who you are - unapologetically

All of it is wonderful.

I want everything I do, each interaction I make and photograph I take to be authentic. My worst fear is that people will receive their photos and feel that strangers are looking back at them. I feel very uncomfortable about having my own photo taken, so I have my own innate knowledge on what that feels like. I have a pretty calm nature and know that helps a lot of people to relax. We don't focus on photos, we focus on connectedness. It's the key.

I'm an open book and super happy to talk you through your concerns or answer any questions. I'm more than happy to find a time to chat.

I can't wait to speak with you,
