Why I became a photographer

Photography is something I’ve always loved. I got my first camera when I was 13 – a little bright blue point and shoot (definitely thought I was cool 😉 )

Despite everything, throughout school and then work, I always come back to photography. It’s truly my passion and something I absolutely LOVE.

At school I studied photography for an A Level, and it was great to have dedicated time each week to learn and practice editing.

When I finished school I took a gap year, worked for a while and then went travelling to New Zealand! (Of course my camera went with me there too!) When I returned is when I started doing some client work. I did a few equine photoshoots, and second shot my first wedding.

By the end of that year I was working full time in marketing, and continued to do so for a year and a half, while doing photography on the side.

But I just can’t stay away from it so here we are, with photography as my full time job (still sounds like a dream!)

I LOVE capturing special moments and connections that last a lifetime.

3 main reasons I love photography:

  • I can capture memories to look back on for years to come
  • Photos last forever
  • I get to meet amazing people like YOU
