Hi there!
Hello, I am so glad you found me here.
I fell in love with photography about 11 years ago when I was living in Abu Dhabi. And, yep, you've guessed it. I still love taking pictures
There is a magic to that. Being able to capture a moment in time with a small clever box. (My trusty Nikon camera & my gorgeous Sigma Art lens). Perfect for emotive Lifestyle & Family photography.
I started out taking pictures of my own children, growing up. Lifestyle & documentary family photography. Ordinary moments that tug at the heart strings. And recently in Dublin, Ireland. All around me, there are gorgeous ocean & park locations. Perfect for atmospheric Dublin photoshoots.
As well as everyday traditional family photography, I love to capture special occasions. Engagement, maternity, Holy Communion & debs. Your perfectly new, newborn.
Celebrating seasonal highlights such as Easter, Halloween, Christmas, birthdays. Or just making the most of seasonal color & light, with your family.
My kind of magic.
I don't have a bunch of fancy camera equipment, I like to keep it simple. This means I can focus on what's going on around me. The emotion, expression, gesture. I don't want to miss out on all the best moments.
I'm inspired by films, books, art, music. Fairytales. (Magic, again...)
My pictures have been featured in Iconic Artist Magazine & VOGUE Italia portfolios. I have received prizes at the International Child Photo Competition Best of Black & White.
The light outside. And the light within.
I hope to capture just a tiny piece of magic. In my life, and in yours.
