I'm a mum, a photographer and happily married to my husband, Kenny. We live in the wee village of Crawfordjohn in South Lanarkshire with our four children, Jake, Jenna, Ruari and Chloe. Life can certainly be lively, but we wouldn't have it any other way!
My Life and Loves
I'm a country girl through and through! Having grown up on a farm and now being a farmer's wife, I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by the fresh air, open spaces and sounds of the countryside (although I could definitely do without the freezing temperatures!).Country or city? I'd choose the country every time!
My Photography Journey
My love for photography started at a young age. I still remember the excitement of collecting my prints and seeing how my photographs had turned out — long before digital photography was a thing!Although I never initially imagined photography becoming a career, a few years ago I had a little lightbulb moment. Something shifted in me, and the self-doubt that had held me back began to fade.So, with my head down, plenty of homework and a whole lot of determination, my photography journey began. Looking back at how far I've come makes me incredibly proud, and I'm excited to see where this journey takes me next.What I love most about photography is capturing those genuine, unplanned moments — the little looks, the laughter, the happy tears and the connections between people. I love getting to know the people I photograph and helping them feel comfortable in front of my camera, so their personalities can shine through.Whether I'm photographing a wedding, a family, a special event or a business, it's the people and their stories that make every session unique.For me, photography is about more than taking a lovely picture. It's about capturing moments and memories that you can look back on and treasure for years to come. And I'm so grateful that I get to do something I truly love.
More About Me
When I'm not behind the camera or chasing after our children:*I'm not very good at sitting still (though I think I'm getting slightly better!).*I absolutely love Jaffa Cakes! No explanation needed, surely?!*I'm a big fan of Twinings flavoured tea. There are plenty to choose from in our cupboard, which drives Kenny mad when he has to wait for me to decide which one I'm having!*Prosecco is okay... I know, I know, I'm in the minority! But does anyone else remember the good old days when Asti Martini took center stage?!*It's the simple things that make me happy. The smell of freshly cut grass, hanging out the washing on a lovely day and those wee everyday moments that make me stop and smile.*Music is always a must!! -I love a bit of Skerryvore and Tidelines, but I also like to mix things up with some country music and what every spotify puts my way.
