WHY WORK WITH ME

Fifteen years ago I picked up a camera and never really put it down. Since then it's taken me from high-end studios in Dubai to cliff-top weddings in New Zealand, and now to working alongside small businesses here in Cornwall that I love.

Along the way, whether I was photographing weddings, families or events, I learned the same thing every time:

The most important part of my job is always the same: to listen, to understand and to make sure the story shines through.

I'm a mum to two boys, so I know exactly what it means to be stretched thin, time poor and quietly putting yourself last. That's part of why I love seeing the journey people are on, whether that's a small business owner finding their confidence, or a retreat where people are coming back into themselves. I know how it feels to need something done properly but not have the time or energy for a process that feels overwhelming. That's why I do everything I can to make this experience easy, enjoyable and worth every minute.

MY GOAL WITH EVERY SHOOT IS TO MAKE YOU FEEL COMPLETELY AT EASE, CONFIDENT AND TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE SOME FUN ALONG THE WAY

GET IN TOUCH

Whether you know exactly what you need or you're still figuring it out, I'd love to hear from you.

The best shoots always start with a good conversation, and there's no pressure to have it all worked out before you get in touch. I'm here to make the whole process feel easy, from that very first message right through to the moment you see your photos for the first time.

Tell me a bit about you, your business or your event, and what you're hoping these photos will do for you. I'll come back to you within a day or two, and we can take it from there.
