This is a tough one. My intention with this post was to write about why photography will always have a little piece of my heart, all the reasons why I have finally bitten the bullet and decided to make this my career. (Because there have been a few false starts.) I just can’t seem to find the words right now, which is unlike me :) Let’s see how I go …..

I’m a creative person, and have always had an affection for photography and for everything an image holds. I guess I initally wanted to create beautiful images for myself, then I found myself falling in love with photography more and more, and finally surrendering to it. I decided to take a risk for joy. I decided to make this love a business.

As for my decision to shoot maternity, newborn and family portraits? I think I was born “clucky” …. I love babies and children, I love pregnant women with their bold, proud shape and I love what family represents. This, of course, naturally leads to relationships in general ….. lovers, friendships, extended family. I just love capturing all those “little” pieces of our days that ultimately make up our lives. And I really enjoy being responsible for providing these sorts of images for my clients, documenting their lives. Their loves.

It’s a colour … and I love it, so why not?! My best friend and I stumbled across it when I was choosing a colour for my room when we first moved in together …. “a coffee colour, or a toffee colour” was what I wanted, and in the end the paint was called “Biscotti”, so it just became “Coffee, Toffee, Biscotti” – and it has stuck!

I’ve started this blog to communicate, for fun and to grow my business most of all. I’m a photographer, a black & white portrait photographer, and I love shooting with film – I can’t wait to begin showcasing my work here for you to see. My passion within photography lies with my passion in life …. relationships. So while my primary focus in my business is maternity, newborn, children and family portraiture, I love images of a group of friends, extended families, snuggly head-over-heels in love couples …. anyone with their everyone.

I cannot wait until this is my everyday life ….
