Behind the Scenes/Stills Photography
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. Example images can be found here:

Mini Outdoor Photo Shoots/Portraits
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 celebrate people at their best by helping them relax and enjoy being the centre of attention. That's why 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!

Sustainability
I'm mindful of my impact on the planet and therefore, I try to keep work relatively close to home. My primary focus is on the West Midlands, venturing some way into neighbouring counties Shropshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire and Herefordshire and Warwickshire, but never be afraid to ask if you're outside the area! I'm happy to travel for the right project - sometimes it gives me the perfect excuse for a mini break!
Photographic Style
This is always a tricky question. I suppose I would have to say it's more documentary in style, using natural light. Should you require formal shots on the day, that's absolutely fine too, but I do love to lie low and capture emotions and stolen moments, aiming to ensure that mood and storytelling reign supreme.
A Little About Me
I love animals and have faithfully served cats and dogs in my time.
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 prefer vintage and preloved items that come with a little history and enjoy the challenge of putting together outfits that not everyone will be wearing.
I'm also 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 like historic, characterful buildings and young at heart people. Music, films, gritty crime novels, art and writing also consume my time.
​
I once worked as a Filming Assistant at the Black Country Living Museum and undertook stints on the Sky production, The Colour Room and Season 6 of the BBC drama Peaky Blinders.
I love to laugh. It really is the best form of medicine. I'm attracted to dark, surreal, leftfield comedy and have visited the Edinburgh Fringe Festival numerous times in the past.
​
What else can I tell you? I'm a wife, daughter, mother...I drink coffee (not too much), don't do dairy and can always be tempted by a Bendicks mint, a glass of fruity red or an ice cold G&T.
Affiliations and Publications
I was shortlisted in the National Trust Photography Competition 2019; one of my landscape photographs was selected to feature in the 2019 National Trust Handbook. A number of my photos are displayed locally. I've been featured by industry blogs, including the Boho Brides Guide Directory and Unconventional Wedding and my work has been also made it into print in Your West Midlands magazine (link here) https://tinyurl.com/ms542x57
Most recently, I contributed stills/behind the scenes photography for a short film production.
