If you hadn't guessed already, I absolutely love animals. I have a couple of labradors, they are my world! Having the two of them has definitely helped when it comes to pet sessions as I've had loads of practice trying to capture action shots with these two energetic pups.

I'd describe myself as a lipstick tomboy, I love getting all glammed up for a night out but equally as happy if I'm covered in mud from a hike with the dogs.

I love travelling, skiing, catching up with friends, netball, gym, hiking, walking my dogs and of course taking pictures.

For 7 years I worked in the Kirkwall branch of Sutherlands Pharmacy and Photolab and loved learning how the cameras and equipment work.

I took lots of passport photos while I worked there which helped me learn and understand the importance of lighting and flash. Most people dread the thought of getting their passport photo taken so I have lots of practice with people who are not often in front of a camera and learnt how to make them feel comfortable and at ease.
