A few things you might not know about me...
Before photography, I spent over a decade as a hairdresser.
I also spent years working as a personal trainer, managing gyms and teaching Les Mills classes.
Looking back, it might seem like a random career path.
But honestly, every one of those roles taught me something I still use today.
Hairdressing taught me how to connect with people quickly. How to listen. How to build trust. How to help someone feel comfortable sitting in my chair.
The fitness industry taught me something different.
It taught me that confidence isn’t about being perfect.
I spent years helping people who felt nervous walking into a gym, doubted themselves, or worried they weren’t fit enough, strong enough or capable enough.
Sound familiar?
It’s often exactly how people feel before stepping in front of a camera.
Whether it’s a wedding day or a family session, most people aren’t worried about the photos.
They’re worried about themselves.
How they’ll look.
What they’ll do.
Whether they’ll feel awkward.
And maybe that’s why I love this job so much.
Because at its heart, photography has never really been about cameras for me.
It’s about people.
Helping them feel comfortable.
Helping them feel seen.
And showing them that they don’t need to change a thing to be worthy of being photographed.
Turns out every job I’ve ever had was preparing me for this one.
