About Myself:
I got serious about photography when I was about 6. It all started with a roll of film and camera, then digital and now i enjoy both… actually, we have quite an open relationship. I absolutly love being outside and I love the never ending challenge of trying to portray ‘that feeling’, you know, the warm evenings at twilight, and that sense of isolation when you have a mountain or beach to yourself, the sound of waves lapping that shore line. My images are all about the outdoors and more natural free self, i find myself telling a story. To help me tell this story I have my camera.

About my Photography:
I love it! I just love it. The camera has truly changed my life and opened up my world. I am very self conscious and an introvert. Travelling by myself or even going for a wander with the dog to explore that ancient woodland, it always made me feel a bit… well, a bit of a loner. As soon as I had a camera in my hand, my travels and my wanders had purpose! The camera was the missing piece of the puzzle. All of my anxieties about being out for no reason were gone. Of course I couldn’t see it then, but I see now that I simply wanted to be outdoors and exploring.
My first digital camera was the Canon 350D. Now my camera's a Canon EOS 1300D. If I have my camera and I am exploring somewhere or something new, camping out, hiking, ambling along my local beach or simply going about my daily life i am a very happy girl indeed.
