About me & why I can help you
Based in Stamford, England
What advice would you give to your 17yr old self? It's an interesting question. This photo is of 17yr old me. Relaxing, smiling and clutching camera film in its case ready to send off for printing. I did not follow my creativity. Instead I spent years in high pressure sales jobs which I hated. I have been married and divorced, I have 3 children and 3 grandchildren. I have loved and lost, laughed and cried. Ive been up close and personal with ill health and death. I have juggled working life with home obligations and also spent time as "just" a stay at home mum. |
These experiences have helped shape and define my journey. I know how it feels when things go awry. I have worked hard on personal growth and self development to get to where I currently am. Sometimes we get beaten down and find our heads heavy to lift, bad habits can get ingrained and self confidence/self-love bottom out. Yet I think women are amazing in ways they don't recognise. We are so many things to so many people and sadly, all too often we feel there is nothing left for ourselves. This is what gets me fired up. We deserve to spend some time on ourselves to allow us time to reconnect with our younger selves, to see how truly unique and beautiful we are, see how far we have come on our journey and take stock of just how far we have come and what we have achieved.
So I find myself, nearly 3 decades later returning to my passion of photography but specifically photographing people. It has been quite the education so far, and I am grateful every day, that I have had the opportunity to re-train. I am currently working towards accreditation with The Portrait Masters and am a registered member of The Guild of Photographers.
I love connecting with people and showing them the best version of themselves, you are worth celebrating you regardless of any extra pounds you carry or any body insecurities. You deserve to be seen by all who know you and to exist in legacy photographs that will be cherished long after you are gone. It is my job to provide you with the opportunity to buy the most amazing images you have ever seen of yourself and to provide you with a safe space where you can really embrace your transformation .
