Whether you’re a total newbie to working with photographers, or a seasoned pro that just wants to know how I work before booking, hopefully this handy guide will answer any questions you may have about how I work, and so all my clients know what stage I’m up to, and what’s coming next!

As a chronically ill photographer, accessibility in photography is something I feel really strongly about, so I’ve put together this accessibility guide for my own shoots so you know what kinda of accommodations are available before you book! Have a need that isn’t covered here? Please don’t hesitate to ask or mention it in your pre-shoot questionnaire!

You might have come across the common debate on whether photographers should be giving out their RAWs or not. There’s many sides to the argument, and I’ll give my opinion, but first, what even is a RAW file?? First of all, let’s start with what a RAW file is not.

There are many reasons you might want to hire a professional photographer as a brand or business owner, but here’s a few key factors that you should consider!

This wedding had family at the heart of it from the start, I got to capture this day from the bride and the bridal party getting ready, full of fun and music on a gorgeous summer’s day. Then on to a moving Catholic ceremony at this stunning church in Urmston, Manchester.

Recently I went to see Blindboy Boatclub’s podcast live here in Manchester, and the guest he had on was legendary guitarist Johnny Marr, from The Smiths. A beacon, of local (to me) talent. And there were a lot of great topics they chatted about throughout the night, but there was one conversation that really got me thinking.

This September I had the absolute pleasure of photographing the Purple Goat Agencies second Purple Party event in London, celebrating their hardworking staff, and some of the amazing influencers they’ve worked with over the last year! I’ve worked on a few campaigns myself for Purple Goat over the last year, so it was a blast capturing this night for them.

Earlier this year I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this intimate, romantic, winter wedding in the centre of Manchester. The wedding was a delight from start to finish, the ceremony at Manchester Town Hall was so full of love and fun!

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing Scott, from All 4 Inclusion, a charity focused on combatting lonliness in the disabled community and more. Working with disabled clients is one of the biggest joys of my job, I love being able to use my lived experience to service the community that helped me so much!

Earlier this year I spoke about being diagnosed with ME/CFS, and the many bittersweet feelings that came along with it. After years of suffering and struggling, I was told I had an incurable, and untreatable neurological disorder that we know hardly anything about. It’s under researched, what little research there is, is underfunded, and it’s generally a very complex condition. I was told I wouldn’t be able to exercise anymore, which after a life of being active, and regulating my emotions through movement and dance, was devastating to hear.

There are many different types of image licensing out there, and for the uninitiated, it can be a lot of confusing jargon that makes you wonder what exactly you’re paying for. I’ve put together this guide to explain all the terms and reasoning behind image licensing for you, the client, so you can better understand what it is and why we use it.

So you want to have professional photographs taken, and now you’re wondering how much it all costs. It's just a few photos after all, it won’t even take long! Well, not quite, photoshoots can vary hugely in cost and time, and you might have a different idea about how long things take than your photographer.

If you’re a business owner who’s been thinking about getting professional photography done for the first time, you might be overwhelmed about how to start. What’s even involved in planning a photoshoot? Can the photographer not just handle everything?? Planning a photoshoot, especially for the first time, can be stressful and confusing. So, I’ve put together this guide that includes everything you need to know (and what your photographer needs to know) to plan a great shoot!

This November I had the absolute pleasure of working with VisitEngland, Jennie Berry (aka WheelieGoodLife), and Gem Turner to demonstrate accessible stays and activities in the North York Moors. As a disabled photographer it was a privilege to be able to follow Jennie and Gem for two days documenting all the fun things they got up to!

It's a new year and for a lot of people that carries the expectation of change, but if you're feeling the pressure this year as many are, this is your permission to just take a deep breath and keep doing you!

In a lot of aspects that's exactly what I'm going to be doing this year but there is going to be a lot of change as well, I've been very quiet with the long form content lately so let me catch you up with what I've been up to in 2022, and what I've got in store for this year!

This photoshoot was a celebration of Sapphic love (women loving women). Too often the Sapphic romance we get in popular media is tragic, laced with heartbreak, sadness and star crossed lovers. For once, I wanted something purely sweet, and loving, steeped in romance, not tragedy!

Self care is a phrase that I see thrown around a lot in the media, being used to sell more scented candles and bath bombs. But self care is about more than just having a night to pamper yourself every now and then, it should be a practice you build on over time that ultimately leads to you being happier, and healthier.

First of all, happy Pride Month to my fellow queers and all my LGBTQIA+ siblings out there! I hope you’re able to celebrate safely, and that you have a wonderful time, whether you’re out or not. For those that don’t know, I identify as queer through and through, from my sexuality to my gender!

Booking a boudoir shoot can be nerve wrecking, but it’s an amazing way to connect with your body, how it looks, how it moves, get one step closer in learning to love it! So who can do boudoir? Anyone! No matter your age, gender identity or presentation, or your build, you can do boudoir, because everyone deserves to feel good about themselves!

This is something personal I thought I’d share with you all, a little journey I’ve been on in my relationship to myself, and the world around me. I’ve experienced a lot in my life so far, and a lot of it, was not very good. For a very long time I told myself that all I was striving for in this world, was contentment. If I could just reach a point in my life where I was reasonably content, that would be enough, and even that seemed eons away. And I am so pleased to say I achieved that. However, after sitting here for a while, and facing new challenges along the way, I’ve realised that might not be enough.
