Born and raised in the south of England, I moved to the USA in 2018 to live ‘The American Dream’, and boy, has it been a wild ride! The landscapes here are absolutely stunning, and being able to capture them with clients I work with has been so much fun.
I got to grips with my camera back in 2007, when I studied at University to be a Crime Scene Investigator. Learning crime scene photography was so much fun, learning to take photos in weird light, at strange angles, and of all kinds of things! Although my work now is very different, so many of my skills I was able to pick up through my degree.
I found I much preferred working with the living (easier to pose, don’t smell as bad!), and started to build my portfolio with friends. This soon spiralled out into all sorts of shoots - from a ‘boys on the farm’ dudeoire shoot for a charity calendar, tarantulas for pet Christmas pictures at a vets, a dog birthday party and zombie chase halloween photos!
I love to throw those kind of shoots in among my every day ones. But what I really love is finding beautiful backdrops for natural light photos. Couples, families, kids, all sorts. I love candid photos - capturing those special moments between families, rather than stand and smile at the camera kind of pictures. I like pictures with movement and soul, real laughter and fun moments to be preserved in photos forever.
I’d love to talk to you about your project, no matter how big or small. Drop me a message and lets chat!
