My only rule is
TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE
I’m a self taught portrait and lifestyle photographer, with special love for natural light and minimalism. I seek mindfulness through photography, finding joy in creating luminous images embedded with emotions. Based in Co Durham, UK, yet also available to work outside of Europe.
My approachMy work is an expression of what I am most passionate about, mindfulness, simplicity and human interaction. I see beauty in everything and in everyone. Do you feel the same way?

AND SOFT EDITINGI MAY BE the one photographer YOU NEED
I truly believe that there's no such thing as a not photogenic person. Portrait photography is an art of discovering a person, observing and finding those features that make them so unique and special. Then you just grab a camera.
My style is predominantly documentary however I do a minimal directing when I feel it’s necessary. I love deeper tones and classic aesthetics. I'm also passionate about helping people to relax, open up and reveal their most beautiful authentic selves.
All relationships are based on trust & common values, it’s important that we connect and see beauty in the same things. We will have a call or meeting before booking anything in.

I’m ready to capture moments filled with love
values I care for
Mental wellbeing
The automatic and unhelpful ways of thinking and responding can be difficult for anyone. It is my aim to keep learning to observe, to describe, to participate fully, in a non judgemental way. To develop a skill to place myself in a better position, to break free of or not ‘buy into’ unhelpful habits that are causing distress and preventing positive action. Mindfulness is everything.
Environment
The connection between mindfulness and environment is profund. The world doesn’t exist for us to consume, our choices have a huge impact on its fragile ecology. The power to care for our precious planet is in our hands. Whatever action we are taking now, there is still so much more we can do. We only have one home, to feel the sense of gratitude and responsibility is crucial.
Equality
Instead of searching for words, let me share one of my favorite quote:
“One day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us as complex human beings.
— Franklin Thomass
Something personal
In 2012 I decided to become a photographer. For an APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) Engineer in the automotive industry with a degree in agricultural sciences and quality systems this was not as easy decision. But when you try to take romantic, elegant and luminous pictures of plastic glove box latches and the insides of a two-shot moulding machine… Sadly passing beautiful sunrises and misty hills on the way to work thinking, “I want to be able to stop, breathe and spend quality time with these wonders of our world… Well, you know it’s time to move on.
It took a few years but with the support of my wonderful husband I was able to pursue a new career. After the pandemic we moved to the North-East and here we try to make the most of being surrounded by beautiful national parks, only 40 minutes drive from the coast.
Soon we will be a family of four and my priority will be to become a better mother, wife, daughter and sister.
