welcome to my corner of the world & a little glimpse into my outdoor lifestyle
Meet my beautiful and exceptionally crazy rescue dog, Ruby, the Hungarian Viszla. She came into my life at a rough time. I was a single Mum with two small children, working full time and generally living on the hamster wheel of life.
She was an absolute whirlwind, living at 100mph. She quite simply showed me how to live in the moment, enjoy every precious second and live life to the full. She was the driving force behind me as I followed my heart and reconnected with a passion for photography from my younger years.
I'm cally and i named my business after my crazy rescue doggo, ruby!
I was around 8 years old and on a family holiday in Cornwall. What a place to be inspired! I remember having my first camera and a couple of rolls of film to go with it. I was snap happy and finally understood why my Dad was obsessed with photography. When those first pictures were developed I was well and truly in love with making memories.
The first spark
I joined the Royal Navy. My love of travelling had me exploring how I could combine work with seeing the world. And I ticked off lots of new destinations along the way. But deep down I knew that engineering was not the career choice for me. But the Navy taught me so many life skills. Calm under pressure. Resilient & resourceful.
Exploring the world first
When photography called me back, I dove deeper: professional workshops in storytelling, couple direction, natural light, and fine-art editing. Not to “take pretty pictures,” but to learn how to reveal what isn’t said out loud.
My photography training
What brought me here isn’t the technical side — it’s people. Their tenderness, their chaos, the fragile in-between moments. Today, my work exists as a bridge between your lived experience and the memory you want to keep of it: intimate, honest, profoundly human.
