Hello,
Welcome to a little corner of my world, and thanks for taking the time to say hello. Here you will find everything that I love: food, photography and cooking. They are inextricably linked and they simply make me tick.
At 28, I’d resigned from my job as a teacher, depressed, with some unhealthy eating habits and lots of time on my hands. Looking back it was a natural and obvious to step into the world of food. I wanted to cook healthy meals for myself and my husband, I wanted to lose weight and I instantly found that cooking relieved my stress and anxiety. It was perfect.
Fast forward 20 years and I still feel just the same. Food heals me in every sense of the word; cooking is so calming and restorative. It magically takes me away to a place where the worries don’t seem to exist. It’s been my constant and I simply wouldn’t be who I am today without the influence of food, cooking, baking, and now photography.
Just like discovering food was a natural transition, so was photography. Capturing the detail, the beauty and the form of the food I buy or the food I cook makes me feel incredible. Giddy almost. I’m completely self taught which in itself brings pride and gives me a confidence I never really experienced in other aspects of my work life. And so, with 20 years of experience helping customers in our IT business, I now want to help food creators show the world how amazing their food is through the power of a photograph. Delivering a image that helps bring a vision to life.
I live in Lancashire with my husband and two children. They are incredibly supportive and they give me the confidence to do what I love.
I’d love to talk and connect if I sound like your kind of person.
