Over 20 years. That's how long I've been doing this — and honestly, I still get butterflies before a shoot. The anticipation. The excitement.

Shooting the memories that matter most — portraits, maternity, newborn, families, boudoir, branding and weddings.

I'm a single mum to the most incredible young woman — she's my person, my right hand, and if you book with me there's a good chance you'll meet her, because she often comes along to sessions to assist me. We're a team. Always have been.

So many people come to me and say I hate photos of myself. I hear you. I've said the exact same thing.

But here's what I know — the people who love you most don't see what you see in the mirror. They see a light that you cannot see. My job is to capture that.

There will always be a reason to wait. The timing will never feel perfect. But time doesn't slow down for any of us, and these moments — right now, as you are — are worth keeping.

You don't have to feel ready. You just have to show up. I'll do the rest. 💛
