You know that thing about flamingos? When they have babies, they lose all their pink. And then slowly - as life settles, as they start to breathe again - they get it back.

That's what Sugar Shot Studio is about. Getting your pink back.

​

I know what it’s like to avoid the camera. To be the one always behind it, or the one who untags herself, or the one who thinks “I’ll get nice photos when I lose weight / feel more confident / have a better hair day.”

​

I photograph women who are ready - or not quite ready but doing it anyway - to be seen. Women who contain multitudes. Women who are soft and fierce and funny and tender and a little bit extra all at once. Women who have spent too long making themselves smaller.

At Sugar Shot Studio, I create a space where you get to be all of it. Where the camera isn’t something to be afraid of - it’s something that finally, properly sees you.

​

​​My sessions are an experience. I have a wardrobe I'm always adding to full of incredible pieces - the big earrings, the tulle gowns, the silky fabrics, the disco balls, the crowns - things you'd never have an excuse to wear otherwise. This is your excuse. I'll guide every pose. I'll make you laugh. And I'll create something that makes you stop and think wait, is that actually me?

​

Yes. It always was.

 

Away from the camera I'm a wife and a mum of three - which means I understand better than most what it feels like to put yourself last. That is exactly why I do what I do.

If you’ve been thinking about booking a maternity session, a women's portrait session, school formal portraits, or restoring a precious old photo - this is your sign, baby! 

​

I can't wait to meet you!
