Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I first picked up a camera at just 13 years old, starting with a Canon EOS 450D and spending hours photographing the little things that caught my eye, mostly flowers and nature. Even then, I loved not only taking photographs, but the entire creative process behind them. Editing images, bringing details to life, and creating something meaningful from a single moment quickly became a passion of mine.

As the years went on, my love for photography naturally evolved towards animals. After moving house in 2018 and finding myself visiting places such as Dudley Zoo and Castle regularly, I discovered just how much joy I found in capturing personality, emotion, and connection through animals. Photography became more than just a hobby; it became a way to slow down, observe the world differently, and tell stories through imagery.

By the time the Covid pandemic arrived, I had the idea of creating my own pet photography business. At the time, there were very few dedicated pet photographers in the local area, and I saw an opportunity to combine both my creativity and my lifelong love of animals into something truly meaningful. What started as a passion project quickly grew into something much bigger. Over the years, I continued investing into professional equipment, developing my editing style, and refining the experience I provide for clients and their pets.

One of the biggest inspirations behind my work was my late dog Marley, who sadly passed away in 2024, just four days before his 10th birthday. Marley played a huge part in shaping not only my love for pet photography, but also my understanding of how precious photographs become over time. The moments we capture with our pets often become memories we treasure forever, and that perspective deeply influences the way I approach every single session.

Life has not always been straightforward behind the camera. At 25, I experienced a mental breakdown that completely changed my life and forced me to step away from photography for a while to focus on rebuilding myself. During that time, I lost touch with who I was creatively and struggled to reconnect with the passion I had once loved so deeply. However, over time, photography found its way back to me. Returning to it at 29 felt incredibly emotional and healing, reminding me why I fell in love with it in the first place.

Since returning, my passion for photography has only grown stronger. In March 2026, I had the incredible privilege of working as an Official Photographer at Crufts 2026, an experience that reignited my confidence and reminded me exactly where I belong creatively.

As you explore my website, I hope you see more than just photographs. Every image represents patience, connection, emotion, and the beauty of simply being present in the moment. Spending time outdoors with animals, surrounded by nature, has been incredibly healing for me personally, and I truly believe photography can have powerful therapeutic benefits. Whether it is the calming effect of nature, the unconditional comfort animals provide, or the creativity involved in capturing meaningful moments, photography has the ability to ground us, reconnect us with ourselves, and offer comfort during difficult times.

I am also a strong advocate for being open about mental health struggles. For a long time, I believed I had to hide my own experiences, but I have learned there is real strength in honesty and vulnerability. Mental health challenges can affect anyone, and I believe conversations around them should be approached with compassion rather than shame. Photography became one of the ways I slowly rebuilt myself, giving me purpose, focus, and a way to express emotions that are often difficult to put into words.

Today, my goal is simple: to create timeless, personality-filled images that truly capture the bond people share with their pets. Whether it is a playful adventure outdoors, a quiet portrait full of emotion, or simply capturing the little expressions owners never want to forget, I aim to create photographs that feel authentic, natural, and meaningful for years to come.

Photography is more than just taking pictures to me. It is connection, storytelling, healing, and preserving memories that matter most.
