Do I LOVE what I do? YES YES!!
What's the best part of being a Photographer?
Having variety where no two days are ever the same, meeting the most amazing people + creating beautiful photographs that capture precious moments + memories!!

I’ve been working as a photographer for 18 years
I began my career as a stylist assistant working on fashion magazines and music videos which transitioned over to feature films where I found my feet as a photographer. From my early career experience I love styling out my clients + catching stray hairs or wonky ties before I click my shutter. I’m driven by wanting to make a positive impact in our beautiful world and alas not a science boffin, I live by this wonderful Maya Angelou quote
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”
So when I am creating images or working with my families + clients, we have fun, we joke, laugh and have a positive interaction. I can be serious and I am professional but also human + most people will do their best to avoid a camera so the more fun we can have the more relaxed our images and better the moment.
Whatever your brief or occasion, feel free to touch base to see if I’d be a great fit for you
+ I look forward to working with you soon!
