Versatile and full of verve, this Brighton-based photographer will make sure the world sees not only your best side but your business’s, too. With over ten years of experience locally, nationally and internationally, she’s equally at home capturing the pulsing energy of a festival as she is snapping intimate glances at a wedding.

Food, interiors, lifestyle and events: these are her focus and her client list includes restaurants, hotels and vineyards – even yours truly (check out the pictures of our 2025 Muddy Awards). She’s especially passionate about harnessing the power of professional photography to help brands shine, and understands just how crucial high-end visual storytelling can be in wooing customers, be it candid behind-the-scenes glimpses or elegant portraiture.

A keen collaborator, she encourages clients to conjure up their own mood boards to help express the look and feel that they’re after, but is equally happy bringing her own creative direction to a project. Come the shoot, she likes to keep things relaxed and flexible so that the magic can happen. She works in multiple photographic mediums, and light is always a vital ingredient in her fresh, enduringly beautiful images.
