Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to draw and play music. She spent hours on the garden swing dreaming of a life filled with sunny days, laughter and cute, furry animals. She discovered photography and the magic of watching pictures appear in the dark room. But life moved on, she drifted into the big bad world of office jobs, and the time for creating art and music disappeared. Then one day she found her handsome prince and they had two beautiful children who inspired her to make pictures again. She began sharing her work and soon friends and even strangers asked her to create beautiful images for them too.

I’m sure you’ve guessed that that little girl was me. My life has lots more sunny days, laughter and cute, furry animals than it used to have – but there is still room for more.

For those of you who need to be convinced by something more than a passion for creating images, I do hold two photography qualifications: I gained my LRPS (Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society) in 2007 and my LSWPP (Licentiate of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers) in 2009.

PS: If you're wondering what happened about my music, I'm still working on that one ...

You can find me on Facebook and Twitter too.

I take at least one photo every day, some fully formed images, others casual snaps that give the feel of my day - you'll find them here: "A Photo a Day" blog

Whenever I can, I like to raise money for my favourite charities. In 2011, I'm raising money for our local hospice who looked after my Dad so well in his last few weeks. If you'd like to donate, my online fundraising page is here
