Newborn & Family Photographer
Multi Award Winning Baby Photographer
About Me
My Story
Photography has been part of my world since 2010, when I became a studio photographer and business owner in Manchester. I ran my own photography studio, specialising in fashion, family and portrait photography — with a little bridal fashion thrown in too.
It was there that I truly learned my craft. I mastered lighting, understood how to work with people, and built my confidence behind the camera while running a business I poured my heart into. After a couple of incredible years, I made the brave decision to close the studio — not because I didn’t love it, but because I knew I was ready for my next chapter.
Why Choose me!
Choosing your photographer is about more than just loving the images — it’s about trust, experience and feeling completely at ease.
With over 15 years in the photography industry, I bring both creativity and confidence to every session. From running my own studio to photographing weddings and newborns, I’ve built my career on skill, passion and genuine connection.
My couples choose me because:
• I create natural, timeless images that feel like you
• I’m calm, organised and supportive throughout your day
• I understand lighting inside and out — in any setting
• I’ve photographed love stories that have grown into families
• I genuinely care about every person who steps in front of my camera
Whether it’s your wedding day or your baby’s first days, I’m here to guide you, support you and capture moments you’ll treasure forever.
When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a photographer — you’re choosing someone who is fully invested in your story.
