Meet your photographer

Hello, I'm a 59-year old South African native who has spent the past 31 years happily married to my British husband. We have one wonderful son. After relocating to the United Kingdom nine years ago, we finally found our forever home in Paignton, nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Southwest Devon. Living by the coast, within walking distance of the beach, has been a lifelong dream come true for me.

​

Today, I am fortunate enough to reside in Goodrington suburb with an amazing view and access to a beautiful expansive beach that I cherish all year round. My love for photography began at a young age when I used to play with my Grandfather's box camera and blossomed after becoming a mother and owning my first camera 36 years ago.

​

Photography quickly became more than just a hobby - it became my passion. My camera went with me wherever I went. Over the years, I've devoured every photography book within reach and enthusiastically pursued various online and in-person training courses and workshop related to photography.

Through the years I have photographed any event you can think of: family gatherings, birthday parties, weddings, motorbike rallies and events, church events, stork parties, hen parties...you name it, I have photographed it.

​

The first wedding I ever photographed was my brother's in 1991. I was so busy taking the photographs, we all forgot that I was never in any of the family photographs!

​

In 2005 my hubby got tired of spending so much money on developing my 35mm films, he bought me my first digital camera. And I was off! It was a game changer for me!

​

In 2014 I got my first DSLR camera and that was another game changer for my photography! I have been very fortunate enough to have won many competitions, and awards with my digital photography through the years.​

In 2023, an incredible milestone was achieved as I completed a Business of Brand Photography program with great elation. Graduating from this comprehensive program has been one of my life's greatest achievements as it radically transformed my life's trajectory by enabling me to establish my own Brand Photography Business.

​

For 36 years I have been photographing people and what fuels my enthusiasm for brand photography is how it allows me to uplift and empower other businesses through showcasing their uniques stories with captivating imagery. It brings me great joy knowing that I can use this passion of mine to make a positive impact on others' professional endeavours.

​

When I am not busy with my photography, you can find me walking on the beach, socialising with friends, gardening, doing counted-cross stitching, sewing, adult colouring, knitting, crocheting or my other great passion: papercrafting.

​

I am a creative individual with a strong sense of confidence and a great sense of humour, known for effectively connecting with people - inspiring and encouraging, possessing deep empathy and understanding. I am a fun-loving individual who passionately loves helping others and especially empowering women.
