I guess you could say photography runs in my blood. My Granda was the go-to wedding photographer in Peterhead back in the day. I grew up watching him head off to wedding after wedding, my grandma right by his side as his assistant. I’d often tag along with her in the evenings to the dance halls, where she’d sell guest photos — wild, right? Looking back, those moments lit a spark in me I didn’t fully understand until years later.
I photographed my first wedding in 2020 and was completely hooked from the first click. There’s just something about capturing love in its rawest, realest form - the joy, the nerves, the way people look at each other when they think no one’s watching.
But becoming a mum? That’s when it really hit home. Watching Alfie grow (too quickly, if you ask me), I felt this deep need to pause time. To hold onto the moments that slip through our fingers — the cuddles, the chaos, the tiny details we think we’ll remember forever.
Photography became more than a passion. It became my way of keeping the magic a little longer - not just for my own family, but for yours too.
Based in the heart of Aberdeenshire, I photograph weddings, newborns, and growing families with a whole lot of heart and a little sprinkle of magic. My background as a primary school teacher taught me the good stuff - patience, empathy, connection, and how to spot those quiet, meaningful moments that often go unnoticed. Now, those skills are woven into everything I do behind the camera.
Whether I’m calming pre-ceremony nerves, gently settling a newborn, or chasing giggles through a field, I’m here to make sure you feel relaxed, seen, and completely yourself. No pressure, no stiff posing - just you and your people, as you really are.
Because those little in-between moments? The hugs, the glances, the deep belly laughs? That’s where the magic lives. And if I can help you freeze even just a few of them to keep forever… then I’ve done my job.
Let’s press pause for a moment and bottle it all up — the love, the chaos, the joy, and everything in between. I’d be truly honoured to capture it for you.
My family is my heart. They're my home, my why, my everything. From quiet mornings to big life moments, they’re the people who make me feel full and rich. I love them for their laughter, their love, and the way we show up for each other- always.
Oh, and our shared love of snacks? That’s basically our love language. Whether it’s crisps on the couch or biscuits in the car, we’re a family fuelled by affection… and snacks.
