ABOUT ME
New to Perth (and Australia!) I made the move from the UK at the end of 2023 and am quickly settling in to life in the city. I have over 10 years of photography experience, starting officially with my Photography A Levels in 2010. Photography has been a great passion of mine for a long time, especially portraiture, as I love to create cherishable memories. I beleive that although taking photos on phones in daily life can help to keep these, having a professional photoshoot is at a whole other level, and these are the photos that really look amazing on your wall. I live in the Suburb of St James with my dog Bilbo and cannot wait to delve in to photography life here with all the stunning scenery.
PORTRAITURE
I have a strong background in studio portraiture, starting part time in a small studio called 'Photopurity' for several months in 2014, mainly working with dogs and families. I then moved in late 2014 to a large studio called 'The Fresh Academy' in Greater London for 3 years where I was privileged to shoot a range of genres including; fashion, families, mother and daughter makeovers, bump to baby, couples, boudoir and enchanted fairy themed shoots. As well as doing the occasional portraiture shoot over the years, from 2020-2022 I offered kids Christmas photoshoots out to the local community and even had Santa join in in 2022 to really give the kids the Christmas experience. I used my editing background in enhanted fairy photoshoots to add sparkles to the images to really bring them to life and add a bit of Christmas magic.
​​
Since moving to Australia; I spent 9 months working full time at 'Zest Photography' in Midland. Zest specialised in boudoir and nude photography, in particular using photography as a powerful tool to unlock women's confidence. It was a beautiful and enlightening venture to be a part of as I was able to see first hand just how photography can alter one's perspective of themself. I now work solo and aspire to provide timeless memories for my clients that can be cherished forever.
PET PORTRAITS
In September 2017 I trained in dog grooming and opened a Mobile dog grooming business, incorporating my love of photography. I produced some beautiful photographs of peoples dogs (and even 2 cats!) and in November 2019 I opened a salon, with a photography studio upstairs, which really allowed my photography side of the business to flourish. I offered mini post groom photoshoots to my clients, giving them the perfect opportunity to get a studio portrait of their dog whilst they had a fresh haircut, I also offered studio and location shoots to be booked out. At Christmas I did themed post groom shoots of the dogs, which was extremely popular, my number 1 product being Christmas cards which my clients loved sending to all their friends and family. Over time I have developed a strong preference to shooting on location as I love the colours and nature in the background - I think this all creates a stunning photograph that goes so much further than just a dog on a backdrop.
CHARITY WORK
Throughout my dog grooming business I raised the equivalent of $5,000 for various animal charities, including some Australian charities. I like to give back where I can and believe greatly in supporting charities. I already have a photoshoot lined up with a dog rescue in Perth, photographing their foster dogs in hopes to help them find a new home, this is of course something I donate my services to for free. For any other charity enquiries, please do not hesitate to get in touch,
MODELLING
Throughout the years I have also enjoyed being the other side of the camera and love to collaborate with other photographers to create great images. I beleive this is a great way for me to understand being in the clients shoes, as I know how awkward it can sometimes feel in front of the camera and how to feel more relaxed.
