11 YEARS AGO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW MY DREAMS
Art and storytelling has always been my passion. I remember writing a lengthly essay for my English exam about my desire to make films, like my hero Sofia Coppola. As a very shy girl I didn't do great at school, but this got me my first A.
After travelling Europe in an old 70's camper van, I went on to study Film at university in Edinburgh and moved to London shortly after to try break into the industry.
Before landing a studio job, something unexpected happened - I fell in love with the art of wedding photography while planning my own tiny wedding. I took the leap and quit my 9-5 job to begin paving my own path as a documenter of love.
Over the years, life transitions have shaped the work I seek out - namely entering motherhood and beginning to work more with women. These days I specialise in capturing elopements/intimate weddings and portraits of mothers & wild women in nature settings, using a mixture of still photography & film. I love what I do.
I still dream of creating narrative films one day, and spend my off seasons penning scripts & putting visuals together (watch this space.)
A snapshot of my life
After years of travels I returned to live on the island I grew up on in the Outer Hebrides, situated just across from Skye. I call North Uist home and share my life with my husband Chris, our 4 year old son Iggy, new baby daughter Mara, 2 cats Peggy & Freya and lots of chickens!
We live in an old croft house by the sea and enjoy amazing sunsets. Life here is slow paced and we relish in all its natural beauty with full moon walks, growing veg and wild swimming. Living in tune with the seasons and nature is really important to me, and greatly inspires my work.
I'm adore rural island living but my free spirited nature still craves to roam and adventure. While the majority of my work these days takes place across the islands and highlands, I still frequently travel across the U.K and internationally to work with my dream clients.
Much of my spring to autumn's are spent on the road for weddings, while in the winter we escape when we can to hotter climates for hiking & desert camping.
