Hello and welcome to my little corner of the internet!

I’m Victoria and I’ve been taking photographs professionally since 2009. I have a very unsophisticated addiction to mochas and the garden is my happy place!

Having bounced around a bit, I now live and work 10 minutes from where I grew up in a sleepy village on the border of Cheshire & Wirral.

I photographed weddings for 11 years before the pandemic hit. We were in the process of demolishing our new house when - in true Grand Designs style - I found out I was pregnant with my first baby! Weddings were illegal and my priorities had well and truly shifted.

4 years, 3 lockdowns, 2 babies and 1 house build later, I resurfaced and pivoted my photography business from weddings to lifestyle and family portraits. Now I get to capture modern day families on old school film and I consider that a real honour.

Yes, I did say film!

A blast from the past I know, but hear me out. I’ve shot both digital & film extensively and to my mind there is no question that medium format film makes more soulful photographs.

Take a look at my 10 reasons why you want to be photographed on film or listen to me talking about why I love capturing portraits on film and why I’m all about prints over digital files on the Gather to Grow photography podcast!

I believe that great photographs are not meant to languish as digital dust on a cloud. They are meant to be artfully printed, seen, shared and loved!
