From London to Los Angeles.
I’ve always known that I was going to be a storyteller.
At 16 I moved with my family to the US from the UK. The move from London, where I had lived my whole life, to just outside of New York City was a big change, and at 16 it felt like a REALLY big change. Initially, I didn’t take the news too well, I didn’t want to leave my friends and my life in London, but after some chocolate and ice cream the big unknown felt a little bit exciting. I moved across the world and it ignited my passion for seeing the world.
Over the years I would lean into change over and over again. I lived in 4 different cities, and traveled to many many more. I worked with Studios in New York City, Sydney, London, and Los Angeles. Putting in my 10,000 hours felt easy. I was creating art with people that I admired and along the way those people became my friends.
It’s kind of rebellious to be yourself

My Story
Throughout my life I’ve taken countless photographs, especially of my friends and family. Everything from family holidays to my new kitten. I didn’t fully appreciate the power that a photograph has until it was one of the only things that I had left. My Mum passed away suddenly in 2019 and instantly my world was turned upside down. I was so grateful that I had taken her photo as much as I had. I held them so tightly to me in those early years. I looked at them every single day, and a special few still decorate my bookshelf at home. These photos of her are some of the images that I am most proud, and I don’t think that will every really change. She taught me the value of a photograph, of a memory, and the love that it can make a person feel.
Photographing memories lead me down the path towards wedding photography. To tell someone’s story, to record a memory, is a very amazing thing. I am thankful every single day for where I am, and for the people that have helped me on my journey. Their love, guidance, and advice has made me into the person, the photographer, that I am today. I owe everything to these people, and I strive every day to make them proud.
