A little about me...

Before you share your story with me, let me tell you a bit of mine ꩜

My journey into the world of photography actually started underwater in 2018 whilst working for a marine conservation organisation in Madagascar. I began by taking photos of coral species as a way to improve my identification skills, alongside teaching people about coral reefs and how to survey them.

I fell in love with capturing these unique, mesmerising patterns, textures and colours of coral, and tried to record some of the magic I witnessed in the ocean on a day to day basis there. I spent the next 5 years working in marine conservation and lived in beautiful Costa Rica and the Philippines.

After the pandemic I worked for the British government doing a desk based conservation job for 2 years. But I couldn’t ignore my pull to be close to the sea, and I quit to train as a freediving instructor and share my passion with others. I spent 2 years teaching freediving in Egypt, Thailand and Honduras, I've been sharing my journey with the water on my other page, @vitaminseadeficiency if you are interested to connect there too, the ocean is one of the biggest loves in my life.

Anyway, I know it’s a bit of a winding story... so how does all of this lead to me becoming a photographer? After spending years shooting on an old camera and underwater housing that was bought off eBay for £100, I decided in 2025 that it was time for an upgrade.

I bought my new camera and something clicked for me, I realised that I now had an incredible tool that allowed me to create photos not only beneath the water but above it too. I became obsessed with learning how to properly use my camera, as well as the editing process and how to create the images that I had in my mind. It gave me a whole new appreciation and respect for the art of photography.

So that brings me up to now, and I'm very grateful that my path through life has led me here. Photography has taught me so much so far and I know that I will be forever learning and evolving alongside this craft.

Some other things in my life that I love other than freediving + photography: sunshine, spearfishing, surfing, exploring nature, travelling to new places, sharing good food with friends, smelling flowers wherever I go, putting my phone on airplane mode, practicing Spanish, learning something new, and anything with chocolate on it.

My style

Earthy, natural tones and photographs that tell genuine stories. I especially love creating portraits of women, musicians and people in motion, whether that is through yoga or dance. I also have a passion for underwater photography, and love photographing humans in and under the water. I always like to connect with whoever I am photographing beforehand, as I feel the creative process is collaborative.

My approach

I will never edit photos to change a face or body shape. I care much more about capturing real beauty, in every way that it exists in the world.

As someone who has found being in front of a camera incredibly challenging at times, honestly, I get it. I think, especially as women, we're often hardwired to be critical of ourselves as a result of a lifetime of comparison to airbrushed models in magazines.

A camera comes out and we freeze up, instantly overthink what to do with our face or body, and when we see the photos we end up questioning "is that what I really look like?!" I can say with certainty it isn't.

My main goal is to help you feel comfortable, confident, and yourself during a photoshoot.

Being in front of a camera can also feel empowering, fun and creative, and I want to do everything I can to make a photoshoot feel like this.

The power of photographs that we genuinely love of ourselves should not be underestimated. In a world that tries to make us feel not enough, a photo can be the reminder we need of our true beauty, or of what matters most to us. Not to get all philisophical here, but I feel very strongly about this!

I've photographed various retreats & events and understand the extra care that needs to be taken in potentially vulnerable spaces. Participant experience always comes before the photograph, and I know there are moments that the camera shouldn't be picked up at all. I like to capture events in a discreet but intimate way, taking enough photos to document the day without leaving people feeling like a paparazzi was following them around.

I'm currently based in Sheffield, UK, but I'm no stranger to travelling with my camera in tow and I'm more than happy to venture further afield for the right project.

I believe it is a gift to allow ourselves to be truly seen by others and recognise the beauty in ourselves, rather than endlessly criticising our perceived flaws.

This one magical life we are given is short, and I know of no better way to celebrate the moments we want to look back on and smile about than by picking up a camera.
