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.
