MEET
THE PHOTOGRAPHER
A VERY WARM
WELCOME
I’m a forty-something year old Mum (to two scrumptious boys!) living in Aston Clinton with my husband Jim who I met at university when I was still a teen (just)! We survived a year of me studying abroad in Pisa (I am obsessed with Italy) and I went on to do a Masters in Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art.
I was never far from a camera, but academically, my creative side was never fulfilled.
In 2011, Jim and I were able to take a career break to travel, and in that time I was surgically attached to my camera, visiting 15 countries in 7 months, I took 1000’s of photos! Having always enjoyed photography, the photos I took on that trip gave me the confidence to pursue it as a career, and when I returned to the UK it seemed like the perfect opportunity to embrace my passion for my hobby professionally.
In 2012 I took a Diploma in Wedding Photography, and have been taking photographs ever since. In 2020 when my youngest was one, I finally gave up the day job in London and embraced photography full time. I haven’t looked back.
I love dancing around the house, eating crisps, drinking coffee, all things Italian, and trail running and I hate bad manners!
I love people and I love a natter, so please give me a call and we can talk about your photo requirements.
I’m passionate about capturing what is unique and joyful about you and I can’t wait to get to know you!

2024 Photography Events with Maison Francis Kurkdjian

A Year of Capture & Connect
In the summer of 2023 I launched a new thing - group headshot sessions. I did three in the second half of the year and then in 2024, I went BIG! I absolutely loved the three session I did and wanted more - it was great for my clients and barely even felt like work to...
