I literally cannot get over the fact, I was personally invited by gorgeous paper invitation by THE KING to Buckingham palace for a garden party. Like what is my life???
My journey with started in 2012. It all started, coming out of university, with a degree in Fine Art chasing my dream to be a photographer. My nan (who if you know me, was my fave person ever and if you got to meet her you were a lucky devil cause she was ABSOLUTELY MINT) pushed me to join the enterprise program when living with her which I went on a week long course and started putting my business together but then the world had other plans. I ended up pregnant and just continuing to use my photography as a hobby and love for years.
Then in 2020, after my first ectopic pregnancy, I had a little MH breakdown. I rang my nan and said “I’m going to do it I’m going on the course again (at the time, was Princes Trust) and I’m going to quit my job and be a photographer full time. My nan had always been so proud of me and wanted me to chase my dreams.
From there, I never looked back. I absolutely love my job so much. I love every opportunity it’s provided me with. Being the first person to win 2 awards the same year on the Kings Trust in 2023, just 3 years into being full time, capturing over 200 weddings, hundreds of goddess women, having my studio, being able to give back and help young people chase their dreams by giving talks, networking with some amazing people and now going to the palace.
I of course too my nan with me, around my neck. A lock of hair I had made into a necklace. Knowing how proud she’d be.
I want to say a special thank you to my first business mentor who has seen the whole journey from the front row, who’s supported me through the lows and the highs, who always shouts my name in any room she’s in and i am now lucky enough to call one of my most closest friends.
Thank you everyone in the Kings trust who’s believed in me and supported me. I will forever recommend every young person starting a business to hit you up. Because you do incredible work and I wouldn’t be where I was today without all the mentoring, learning and advice!
