This last week has been an eye opener for me in so many ways. Not only have I discovered that if I stay up until about 2am every night that I turn into a bit of a zombie! But I feel as if I finally understand what it is I am trying to achieve with my business and how I can get there. Or at least I can see the start of the pathway. I’m going to be shaking up my business over the coming weeks and months, because I want to offer you all the best experience possible. I want you to be so excited about having me photograph you before I even pick up my camera. And I want you to be even happier by the time I have finished.
So I thought I’d try to get a bit more personal on my blog and instead of only showing you what I do all the time, I’d start telling you a bit about who I am, why I do what I do and what motivates me too. So I’m beginning with a quick get-to-know-me list….
- I love lists. I have lists for everything. They help me keep my mind in order when everything else is in chaos.
- My dream holiday is to go to Svalbard and I am determined to get there with my camera in the next couple of years. Polar bears, snow and midnight sun excitement!
- I am definitely a morning person. In fact, I think I turn into a pumpkin at midnight!
- I was recently diagnosed with coeliac disease, which is an auto-immune disorder. This means that I have to follow a gluten-free diet for the rest of my life. I’m actually coping with the changes much better than I expected, but I can’t tell you how much I am missing cakes right now…
- I used to play the saxophone in a Big Band at university, and have always wanted to learn jazz piano.
- I love making things. When I’m not photographing, I’m usually sewing, making cards, baking, quilting or doing something else crafty.
- I can juggle.
- I love marmite.
- I have 2 crazy but cute tabby cats. Sabrina (named after the Audrey Hepburn film, not the teenage witch!) and Sebastian.
- Photography is also my hobby. And my passion. It consumes my everyday life. But to get away from the business, I’ll take out my large format camera (with bellows and a dark cloth over my head) and create photographs in the tranquillity and beauty of the UK landscape.
So there you are. A little soupçon of information about who I am. The woman behind the camera… I look forward to hopefully getting to know you too through my blog (so please do comment – I love hearing from you).
