About

Always a keen 'snapper' I never thought that I could actually become a photographer. My brother - a professional photographer - had given me cameras and gamely tried to teach me, and I did learn a lot from his vast experience, but I never thought of it as a career until relatively late.
I enrolled at college determined to work at something I enjoyed, and that something was photography. Film was the predominant medium then with digital photography still being viewed with suspicion by the photography fraternity, it was looked down on as being inferior to film, however things have moved on and very few photographers now use film. Having learnt with film though, learning to print my own photographs etc, I have a broad understanding of how to make a great image - not just relying on the camera to do all the work for me.
Whilst at college I became pregnant with my son, and initially not knowing what type of photographer I wanted to be, once I had my baby, it became a no-brainer. I love photographing children - particularly when they have forgotten about the camera and are totally in the moment. I love looking through the images when the shoot is finished and finding that special one that completely captures the essence of the child, it is very rewarding and I love it!
