I am a woman with a passion for life, a wife and a mother of two daughters that I adore.

I am a happy soul that thrives on connection.

My family,friends, people - my pets, the environment and beautiful food constantly bring me joy and feed my soul.

I have always had a deep passion for photography. I love that it gives me the ability to show others the beauty in everyday life the way I see it.

Its the day to day moments that are so important, because they are real, and they are felt in the heart. These authentic, spontaneous moments, so often go unseen, yet they are what shape who we are, as individuals and as a family.

They are priceless and worth documenting.

Photographs are timeless records of the precious life you are living. The keepers of your families memories.

Now that our girls are adults, and the whirlwind of being a parent with young children has subsided, I look back and ask myself “where did it all go” ? It seemed like it would last forever.

Days were packed with the essence of life. Early morning rises, that started with the patter of little feet, making there way into our bed for a snuggle. ….strong coffee, love, giggles, stories, sticky fingers, tears, and tantrums. Repeat !

Beautiful, messy chaotic moments in time that have now passed, …….and a new chapter of our family’s story is unfolding. Life is forever changing.

I realise now, more than ever, that we can never have enough photos of these precious times. Documenting these moments in our lives and in our families is so important.

Laughter fills my cup

Outside of photography a perfect day for me would be

  • time spent with family

  • being rugged up on a Winter’s day with a cup of home made soup, warming my bum by the fire amongst family and friends.

  • exploring another country and tasting new foods.

  • going for a walk along the lake with our Cocker Spaniel, as the day is coming to an end, and night starts to fall.

  • out with close friends for a glass of wine and a chat

    Funny facts about me :

    I love the colour purple. Animals are a must have in life. Coffee and New York cheese cake are my weaknesses. I used to sit for hours and watch my girls sleep. Cooking is something I do when I am stressed. Photography is a form of therapy for me. Family is my everything.
