I’m a specialist colourful photographer of people based in Hampshire but with a strong will to travel the UK to connect with humans celebrating, connecting or advocating. I photograph people for businesses, charities, families (and their pets) as well as weddings.

I’m a bit weird and proud of it.
My pronouns are she/her.

I love dogs, sushi and margaritas, and if all three combine, it’s a real treat.

I’m a colourful, people-focused photographer based in Hampshire, photographing weddings, families, events, businesses and charities across Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, London and beyond.

I’m quite sharp and I LOVE making people laugh. I tend to blend in and get chatting to everyone, because I find human connection always makes for better photographs. Whether I’m photographing a wedding, a family at home, a charity event or a team doing brilliant things, I want the photos to feel natural, relaxed and like the people actually in them.

When I’m photographing, I’m pretty up for anything. If getting the shot requires lying on the floor, climbing something, hanging out of a crane or generally looking slightly ridiculous, I’m all for it.

I’m fully insured, have more clothes in my car than is probably necessary, and I care about two things: getting bloody good photographs and having a total hoot while I do it.

Whether you’re looking for relaxed wedding photography, natural family photos, colourful event photography, business and branding photography or photography for your charity or organisation, I can help.

Basically, if there are people doing something worth photographing, I’m probably interested.

I live in Alton, Hampshire with my husband Tom and our daughter Elliott and dog Ernie (my Mum and Dad have Bert…!)

I identify as a bisexual woman and queer rights as well as the rights of those who don’t conform to gender norms are very important to me.
I’m not a Tory, and I’m not a vegetarian.
