My Journey into Photography

My passion for photography was inspired by my grandparents; my grandfather was an enthusiastic photographer, while my grandmother was a talented artist. This love for capturing moments blossomed within my family, which is why wedding photography holds a special place in my heart. It’s all about immortalizing the most important people in your life. Here’s a cherished photo of me with my grandfather’s camera. He captured memories with a Canon, and now I carry on that legacy. We are a amily rooted in creativity, kindness, and entrepreneurial spirit. As the founder of my own company, I love sharing stories of my photography adventures, influenced by my grandparents. I hope they are watching over me as I continue to photograph numerous weddings, spreading laughter and joy with my clients. My enthusiasm for photography is a treasured family legacy, and I take great joy in sharing that passion with yours. Ready to book your session?

Commitment to the Arts and Community Service

I am deeply committed to the arts and volunteer as a photographer for Naomi House. Supporting local charities is important to me, and I genuinely enjoy dedicating my time to assist with their incredible work. I have photographed their Winchester Santa Fun Run and cherish the opportunity to collaborate with the charity. My passion lies in supporting families and ensuring they receive the necessary assistance for their well-being and health. Additionally, I serve as an ambassador for Mayflower Theatre and actively participate in events related to the Southampton business community. I take great pride in getting involved with local projects and supporting the arts scene in Southampton. I had the honor of being the photographer for the *What’s Next Southampton* fashion show and collaborating with the Southampton City Council on this project. Being part of Next Southampton's social media team allowed me to work alongside talented professionals on various filming and directing ventures. I also contributed to the fashion show through photography and camera work, finding immense fulfillment in collaborating with designers and participating in such a dynamic project. I had the opportunity to photograph *The Addams Family* theatre production, showcasing stunning set designs and costumes. Capturing key moments and highlighting the performers' talents was a dream come true. I also assisted with social media content creation, and it was a pleasure to work with such skilled individuals while promoting their hard work. The photographs turned out beautifully, and I am proud to have been part of such a fantastic production. *



Photography Journey and Education

I have earned a Level 3 Certificate and Award, as well as a Level 4 HNC in Photography. I am passionate about education and dedicated to ensuring that the next generation of photographers has access to the same opportunities I had. Supporting others in their educational growth is something I care deeply about. Proudly LGBTQ+ owned, woman-owned, and dyslexic owned.
