WELCOME, FRIEND
It’s so lovely to meet you!
I’m delighted you’re here and I would love to get to know you better too,
so we could work together and create some beautiful photographs + films
for whatever life story you’re hoping to capture in this moment of time.

STORYTELLER
CHILD AT HEART
OVER SHARER
AND LOVER OF A GOOD ADVENTURE
My love for photography began in my childhood with my Mam and I sitting on the floor going through albums and boxes full of old photographs.
She would tell me stories from those photos, some of which predate me being born. There were so many beautiful moments that would’ve been forgotten if it weren’t for printed photographs.
My Mam was able to recall the feelings she had while making memories with her family and friends, so when she told the stories I could really feel those photographs come alive. This was our favourite way to bond and experience life together and I can certainly say my love of photography came from my Mam.

My true appreciation for photography has started during my travels in Ireland back in 2003, when I saw the amazing scenery and endless beauty welcoming me to what I have been calling home now for the past 22 years. I photographed with a film camera back then, so the feeling of anticipation, when getting photos developed and seeing captures for the first time, was truly special.
I came to Ireland for work never thinking this would become my permanent home, but the old Irish charm of the country and meeting my soulmate Irish man kept me here along with the warm presence of the people. I fell in love with the country, and the man who blessed me to become a parent.
Having my first child was a turning point, where having my camera in my hands felt like an absolute necessity. I got obsessed photographing all the moments of life that were so fleeting. It was truly fulfilling being able to take care of the little humans we created and capture through photographs the most memorable experiences of motherhood, and parenthood as a whole.
We’ve two girls and a dog now and their lives have been extensively documented in printed albums and photographs.
My girls were quickly evolving into young adults and looking back at the photos I took of them, I experienced those same feelings and emotions that my Mam shared with me. As the years were passing by I started to feel the need to share the same experience with other people. I wanted to gift people the ability to relive their memories through photographs, especially as memories can fade fast with each year passing.
Through support and encouragement from my family and friends, I’ve decided to offer my photography services to clients, and I’m proud to say I’m doing a job that I absolutely love. It fulfils my soul and my purpose in life! After many years in corporate jobs which never really felt right, I finally feel like I’m living and not just existing.
I realise how incredibly blessed I am to be able to do this and I’m grateful every day that I get to meet incredible souls along the way!

ALL ABOUT THE FOOD
Mexican food is my absolute favourite – nachos, tacos, quesadillas, burritos – love them all!
BEAUTIFUL SKIES & SEASCAPES
There’s something about the fresh sea breeze, the sound of seagulls and those incredible sunsets that I can never get enough of!
ROMANTIC MOVIES WITH HAPPY ENDINGS
I would also cry watching pretty much any movie that has beautiful music in it, having tissues at hand is a necessity with me 😉

THE GIFT OF
CAPTURING THE SMALL AND BIG MEMORIES
IS MY PURPOSE FOR YOU
There is never going to be the right time or a perfect moment to get photographs.
If you don’t capture the small moments, you will forget these significant small pockets of time that end up being the most memorable.
I’d love nothing more than to help you preserve these moments through photographs and/or film!
