Who's behind the camera?
I hate talking about myself almost as much as I hate being in front of the camera, so bear with me :)
Having put myself through college after my divorce to learn about photography and business, I arrived late to the self-employed party. Whilst I may not have youth on my side, I have a creative passion and over 2 decades of experience working with the public which is useful for helping make clients feel relaxed and at ease when they visit my small studio.
I won't bore you with my qualifications since I genuinely believe that when it comes to photography the only thing that really counts is experience, but for those who want to know I gained my Higher National Diploma in 2018.
I have been working as a photographer since 2015, during which time I have covered several weddings, volunteered my services at Pride and the Breastfeeding Network in Troon, as well as been blessed enough to have captured many smiley faces and bonnie babies for their families.
It's been a funny old journey, but I know which direction I want to go moving forward in 2023, and that is newborn and cake smashes. I will still offer limited edition seasonal sessions as well as provide portraiture of all kinds when asked.

​​And now.... 5 "fun" facts about me:
​
1) How many tattoos/piercings do you have - combined, 6
2) What guilty pleasure is on your Spotify playlist - Wham, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go (don't judge me)
3) The first concert you attended as a teenager - none, I was 39 before I went to my one and only gig! Blaze Bayley
4) What did your teachers say about you as a kid - that you could see my earrings before you could see me!
5) Favourite quote from a movie - "I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me."

The Studio
The new studio is a bit like me; a work in progress, and small but practical. I gave up the old studio in favour of one closer to home and with a bigger seating area for the parents to get comfy while the wee ones are being photographed.
it is taking me a while to get things organised while working around my other job, but it's getting there!
