Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself
I cover those big life moments, from engagement/couples' shoots to the day you make it official and tie the knot. I've photographed all kinds of weddings, from clifftop vows, timeless and traditional church ceremonies to ancient woodland hand-fastings. You can find more details below or discover my packages here:
Ten Facts About Me
1. I was born in the depths of winter and am 38% English, 31% Irish, Scottish & Welsh and 31% Scandi.
2. I love animals and have faithfully served cats and dogs in my time.
3. Fast fashion isn't my thing. I have long been a slow fashion devotee. My home and personal style can best be described as "eclectic." I love vintage and preloved items that come with a little history and enjoy the challenge of putting together outfits that not everyone will be wearing.
4. I'm passionate about nature and am lucky enough to live in an area with beautifully diverse scenery here in the West Midlands, so my exercise regime is taking long walks and discovering new places - always carrying my camera. I feel very zen in the shade of woodland or by water.
5. I'm probably happiest when amongst a crowd of people at a music gig. My music taste is pretty diverse, spanning genres and decades. Current favourites include Wolf Alice and Fontaines DC!
6. I've worked as a Filming Assistant at the Black Country Living Museum and undertook stints on the Sky film production of The Colour Room and Season 6 of the BBC drama Peaky Blinders.
7. I'm attracted to dark, surreal, leftfield comedy and have visited the Edinburgh Fringe Festival numerous times in the past.
8. Halloween is my favourite time of year. I'm fascinated by historic buildings, graveyards claimed by ivy, folklore and the paranormal, having had my own unexplained experience early in life.
9. I have an irrational fear of balloons!
10. I gravitate towards free spirited creative people with poetic souls and dark humour.

GIG PHOTOGRAPHY/BEHIND THE SCENES/STILLS PHOTOGRAPHY
As a music lover, if I can't go to gigs as a punter, I'm just as happy capturing the atmosphere and energy of a performance. If any local rising stars need any press shots/promo photos, I can put together a bespoke and affordable package. Let's talk!
The West Midlands is fast becoming a creative hub for those working in the TV, Music or Film industry. My proximity to Birmingham makes me a good and affordable choice for local creatives.
MINI OUTDOOR/INDOOR PHOTO SHOOTS
For as long as I can remember, I've always loved people watching, attending weddings and dressing up. So now I get to do all three!
I understand what it's like to be camera shy but also love to empower people by helping them relax and enjoy being the centre of attention. I offer mini outdoor photoshoots or indoor portrait sessions to help people learn to love being in front of the lens; my goal being to work with them to produce some beautiful photos showcasing them at their best!
Mini outdoor photo shoots and indoor portrait sessions are available all year round and I will consult with you to discuss your ideas and hopes for the shoot, whether it be to update the family album, give an alternative gift to a loved one, fly solo with an empowering photo shoot or dress up as your favourite movie character!
