I have always preferred to be on the other end of the camera. I am sure my children will say some day - why are there no pictures of our Mum? - well she was the one always taking the photos!

Some of my earliest photograph memories of are of my mom’s 1960s  Kodak Instamatic Camera, the one that you would put the square flash cube on!

I am lucky enough to have two parents that are both artists in their own ways. My Dad has been taking pictures for over 50 years. I can remember watching him develop pictures of my brother Ben and myself in his darkroom, and being amazed by seeing a piece of paper go into the developing agent and then seeing the image come up like magic!

I met the love of my life when I was too young and stupid to realize who he was - as life has a way of doing, I re-met him when I was old enough to realize who he was, and I am truly blessed to have been married to John for the past 20 years. Sometimes - I think my extended family just keeps me around cause of John!

Family is very important to me. I have two fantastic children - Chloe - 17 and Jake 13. I have a great relationship with my brother Ben and my lovely sister in law Susie, and I have two terrific nephews Charlie and Elias. I credit my Mum with making my brother and I have a good relationship!
