Life update
After some changes this year, I've decided to step back from photography as a full-time pursuit and bring it back to what it always was at heart, something I do purely for the love of it. It's meant so much to share this work with you, and I'm genuinely grateful for every order and every bit of support along the way.

Capturing Life’s Moments Through Resilience and Art
After a stroke changed my life, I discovered the power of photography as my therapy and a way to connect with others. Join me on this journey as I share my story and showcase the beauty I see through my lens.

From Recovery to Rediscovery
Photography gives me purpose and peace. It’s how I reconnect with the world, sometimes even bumping into it (my depth perception isn’t great!). But through the lens, I found a new perspective, one that’s shaped not only by what I’ve lost, but by what I’ve gained.
2018
I suffered an ischemic stroke, a blood clot blocked an artery in my brain, and everything changed in an instant.
2019
I had a career in the motor industry, but like many stroke survivors, I had to leave it behind.
2019/2020
Photography started as a distraction and something to focus on, to get me out into the light quickly. It became my therapy.
2024
I opened my shop in Folkestone to start selling my photography and help raise awareness around strokes and the impact they can have on your life.
Now
Now, every time I pick up my camera, I’m continuing to rebuild my life one photo at a time. I run workshops and events to support other stroke survivors on their journey. I’m also proud to support Different Strokes, a UK charity for younger stroke survivors.
