When and why did you take up photography?

I originally studied for a diploma, hairdressing Level 3. I finished in 2018 and started my own hairdressing business in 2019, but then covid-19 came and my health condition started to change, being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. This led to me reconsidering my career options.

I have been taking pictures since I was about 10-years-old. Back then, I was just playing with a disposable Kodak camera.

In 2020, I borrowed a camera to start practising again. I tried out different styles and learned the angles and how different lighting works. I nearly forgot how much I enjoyed it while getting back into it! I am so happy I have not given up.

As I grew more passion into it while learning, I decided to start doing it as a job in 2023. I enjoy creating these special memories for everyone to cherish and keep. Something for all to look back on years later and to bring a smile on their faces.

What do you love about taking pictures?

I love capturing in-the-moment pictures, especially the ones when people don't notice, when they're enjoying themselves, and see how happy they are when I show them. Also, I love dogs and taking pictures of them, it makes me very happy and content.

Where is your favourite place to take pictures?

Outdoors in the woods and nature. I like capturing natural lighting with people, either with friends, family or simply walking their dogs alone. I think these are the rare, beautiful moments when they're enjoying themselves, living in the moment captured in a picture.

What do you enjoy about being part of the Leader Camera Club?

I love seeing how everyone has their own style and sharing ideas with each other, there are a lot of positive comments and encouragement. There is a lot of good people there who show their kindness through supporting each other.

If you could photograph anyone or any place who/what would it be?

I would go back in time to take photos of my grandparents when they were still around, they have passed on many years ago. I miss them very much.

Anything else you think we should know?

I have helped many charities over the years, Nightingale House Hospice I was volunteer when I was doing hair and beauty. Also helped other charities by doing photoshoots for them and offering one-hour photoshoots in raffles to help fundraise money. I've collaborated with many local traders, small business in Wrexham and Chester to help with their marketing and promote their business branding. I've taken many photos for Wrexham events too, such as Wrexfest, Focus Wales and Wrexham Feast.
