"And if a day goes by without doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up." Richard Avedon

Since I was a child I have always taken photographs. Despite qualifying as a Chartered Accountant and having a career in accountancy, photography has always been part of my life, a hobby that became a passion. As a mother of three boys I have always had the camera out, capturing those memorable moments.

I have done various photography courses and workshops, and achieved my Diploma of Photography from the Photography Institute in 2011. I am a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society.

Taking photographs is a way of life for me. I take a daily photograph for my photography journal (www.polaroidblipfoto.com) and have done this for the past three years - my day would not be complete without a camera in my hand!
