I am a single mum of five children. I have had a burning passion for photography for as long as I can remember! I love those shots that make you lose yourself in the image.
I have been self taught along the way, everyday I discover something new or different to try. I mainly use Paintshop Pro, again self taught. I love experimenting with different effects.
My models are mostly my children.
I hope you enjoy my work, I put alot of thought & time into each photo to make it a little “unique”.
I appreciate any comments received, good, bad or constructive. I value honesty.
My daughter also has her work on display, she would also love any feedback, comments or views. Her user name is JessNess91.
