What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
I am a portrait and still life photographer based in Ealing, London. I cover London and many surrounding areas and love the variety of meeting new people and new businesses from all sectors. I photograph the whole spectrum of small to big businesses, events, weddings, pregnancies, families, schools and classes. My life is never boring and enables me to give you photos full of vibrance and energy.
I work hard to understand what you want in terms of style, and the key messages that you want to give your clients or atmosphere that you would like captured in your celebration or event.

What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What style of images do you love? Have you seen any on my galleries for instance that capture what you are looking for?
What are you going to use the images for and how many do you need?
Do you need digital or prints from your photoshoot photos?
Where would you like the photos to be taken?
Do you have a particular date or deadline for the photos to be taken?
Is there a time convenient for you to have a chat about what you would like?
What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting people from all different places and walks of life, and the diversity that it brings. I feel privileged to get to know so many people, many of whom are at a particularly special time in their lives and being able to capture this and give them images to remember. There's also nothing better than feeling that someone who has walked in saying that they hate having their photo taken, on leaving, telling me how much they love their images and that they'd had a really great experience.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always loved taking photos and getting different angles and perspectives on what's going on around me and was spending more and more time on photography. For years I worked for the Red Cross on international programmes which gave me a real appetite for understanding multiple issues with different needs whilst being highly organised and working closely with lots of different people. In 2008 I decided to bring all my skills together and set up as a photography business. I love having my own business.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have chosen not to specialise in photography because I love working in different environments and with different types of people. I will take the time to understand exactly what you would like out of your photography and add my technical expertise and creativity to this brief. I am not fazed by going out of my comfort zone and therefore can react to changing situations and needs that sometimes cannot be anticipated. I will give you high quality images full of character and life.
