Studio dog photographer, Billingshurst West Sussex

Wife, Mum, Dog photographer
Family means everything to me and that includes Stella, the dog who started this whole journey.
Photography has always been part of my life. I studied it at both A-level and university and spent many weekends working alongside a wedding photographer before eventually taking a different career path into teaching.
But life has a way of redirecting us…
At the end of 2022, while planning my wedding and preparing to welcome a new puppy into our lives, I became seriously ill and spent months in and out of hospital undergoing endless tests and treatment. It was a time that completely changed my perspective on life, family and the importance of holding onto meaningful moments.
Then along came Stella…
The moment we received her photo - tiny velvet ears, bright blue eyes, and the sweetest heart-shaped marking on her forehead - everything changed. I found myself wanting to capture every stage, every expression, and every little detail that made her her.
That’s what led me here.
