In December last year I booked in a mentor session with Amy Rushbrook, I have followed and chatted with Amy for a while now, I came across her work and at that time she was local to me so I reached out.
I have watched her work flourish as she opened up, shared her values and her art.
In April along with two other wonderful women we spent a day being mentored by Amy, chatting, asking questions and soul searching. For me this was just the beginning, I haven’t stopped doing all of these things since. I have looked deeper into the work I love of others, I pushed past my comfort zone of well lit rooms and golden hour, to shoot more, grow more and find MY voice.
Now I am seeking more, I have my drive back, that I had lost for a little while.
There’s a clarity, in why I do what I do and what brought me to photography many years ago.
I am creating more meaningful work, meaningful for me and meaningful for you. As I am sure you have noticed, my work has changed, because I have. We face many things in life and each thing shapes us in ways we aren’t always aware of until later. Having children changed me, going through the highs and lows of a long term relationship has changed me, seeing my son suffer through severe trauma has changed me and guiding another through anxiety has too. Each of these things, some big and some small has impacted me and brought me to where I am today. Hungry for raw, honest, grattitude and connection. Filled with joy and warmth for love and coming undone, an appreciation for openness, of lifes chaos and calm.
If you believe in Honesty, in the value of being present with your loved ones and that the things we should treasure most are moments and people, not things. Then I am here for you, to see you, hold space for you and create some priceless moments, ones that will fill you up for years to come, that in the hard times will remind you of the connection you share.
