I cannot recommend Liz highly enough! I’ve never felt confident in front of a camera, and rarely like how I look in pictures, but Liz completely changed that for me. She has an incredible gift for capturing the best in people, and the photos she took of me were so beautiful, yet still looked like me. Beyond her immense talent, Liz is warm, patient, and genuinely caring.

About me

Photography has been my passion since my teens and I have been lucky to be able to travel the world, had my work published, taught and become a successful portrait and wedding photographer.

After going head to head with cancer, I decided to realise a dream and open a cosy, welcoming studio to capture and celebrate life, love, and real emotion—helping you feel confident, seen, and fabulous in front of the camera. My mission is enable you to be yourself so that I can capture the real you, beautifully, and create memories that matter to you.
