The Photographer
(accountant, set designer, children's entertainer, tea lady, and cleaner)
I hate talking about myself almost as much as I hate being in front of the camera, so bear with me :)
Having put myself through college after my divorce to learn about photography and business, I arrived late to the self-employment party. Whilst I may not have youth on my side, I have a creative passion and over two decades of experience working with the public, which is useful for helping make clients feel relaxed and at ease when they visit my small studio.
I won't bore you with my qualifications since I genuinely believe that when it comes to photography, experience is the only thing that really counts, but for those who care about such things, I gained my Higher National Diploma in 2018.
I have been working as a photographer since 2015, during which time I have covered several weddings, volunteered my services at Pride Glasgow and the Breastfeeding Network in Troon, and been blessed enough to capture many smiley faces and bonnie babies for numerous families.
It's been a funny old journey. My main focus is on cake smashes and themed sessions, but I still offer mini sessions and portraiture of all kinds and will return to small weddings in 2025.
​
​​And now.... 5 "fun" facts about me:
​
1) How many tattoos/piercings do you have - combined, 6
2) What guilty pleasure is on your Spotify playlist - Wham, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. don't judge me :)
​
3) The first concert you attended as a teenager - none, I was 39 before I went to my one and only gig! Blaze Bayley
​
4) What did your teachers say about you as a kid - that you could see my earrings before you could see me!
​
5) Favourite quote from a movie - "I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me."
The Studio
The new studio is a bit like me; a small but practical work in progress! I gave up the old studio in 2021 and chose one closer to home with a bigger seating area for the parents to get comfy while the wee ones are being photographed.
it is taking me a while to get things just how I want them while working around my two jobs, but it's definitely getting there!
