I love my Mister, a lot! I love that when we’re watching TV together (which doesn’t happen very often) he’ll pick up my feet put them in his lap and start to massage them for me. I love, that after being away from him, he arrives at the airport to pick me up with a…

A year ago, I woke up quietly with my heart tight in my chest and stared at the ceiling. A year ago, on June 20, 2009, I woke up excited and happy that I was on my way to marry my mister. My girls and I excitedly giggled and smiled as we got ready for the day, but…

How wonderful you are

I’ve been asked quite a bit recently why I don’t photograph weddings, and at first I didn’t know how to respond, but now with no hesitation I know why. I don’t want to shoot them. I used to feel really awkward saying that, almost like I wasn’t an actual photographer because I chose portraiture over…

If I was…

If I was a season, I’d be spring – full of change, colour, and hope for the future. If I was a piece of furniture, I’d be a mirror – reflecting the best in everyone. If I was a country, I’d be Wales. If I was a food, I‘d be Foie Gras – I would be…
