I know I’m supposed to list the things I ‘love’ (the rising sun, adventures with my loves yada yada) but your time is precious and I want to give you more of me from the outset…

I struggled for a long time with who I was; I knew I wanted a creative life of art and adventure but the details never really fell into place. This made my twenties a tricky time as my peers climbed the career ladder and generally made strides to becoming who they were always supposed to be.

The birth of my daughter Thea changed everything; I suddenly had a real sense of purpose and an incentive to make our lives something special. Documenting her early days became incredibly important, so I dusted off the camera and got to work.

As I practiced on her little face it became very clear that this was more of a calling than I’d ever anticipated. I was in love with photography, and the more I shot, the more I wanted to keep on shooting. It wasn’t long before I began getting bookings, and the rest - as they say - is history.

Photographs are more than just shallow reflections on how we look; I believe they give us a chance to preserve details and feelings as our memories inevitably fade. They are an investment in our truth and our future nostalgia - how do you want to feel looking back on your days spent on this earth?

I know, personally, I don’t want staged photos and cheesy forced smiles against a white backdrop. I don’t want someone to airbrush my baby’s already-perfect skin, or ask my children to be anything but themselves. I want their real characters and real emotions; I want them running free in fields with all of their expressions on show. I want raw, honest, artful images of the genuine love that I feel for my family.

I want that for you too.

It is my life’s greatest privilege to be able to use my art to give you the memories you deserve. Whether that’s your intimate wedding, or your family’s portrait, your growing life as the sun goes down over the horizon, or your love as it happens at home - I am here giving you my heart and my art for every part of your journey.
