Hi, my name is Victoria and here goes with my About Me page…
Formerly based in Abu Dhabi with my own business, I relocated back to my native England in 2017. I’m a lifestyle & family photographer based in beautiful Warwickshire. I live with my husband and our two young children – a beautiful blend of British & Syrian heritage!
More about me & how I started? My photography journey began in the high school darkroom & photography club and has continually evolved over the years. My interest renewed after becoming a mother – realising I couldn’t miss capturing all those tiny, fleeting moments with my own little ones. Photography has always been an essential ingredient to my life; it isn’t just something I do, it truly is who I am. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t want to learn more about my skill.
And to prove the point of how long I have been passionate about my craft: I was so thrilled when my Northampton High School teacher, through the power of Facebook sent me this:
“It is wonderful to see from your Facebook that you have developed your considerable natural photographic talent into what is obviously a highly regarded business. Your pictures are delightful.” – John James Glover
I find so much joy in using my photography skills to create lasting & priceless memories for myself and others. It challenges my mind and breathes energy into my soul. I relish freezing these moments to capture not only the big picture but also the beautiful details and time-capsule minutiae, to celebrate the love and connections within family and kinship.
Photography for me is a passion, a way of life – a daily practise. Every day I try to take a little time to look around me in search of beautiful light, simple things, details, moments to capture. I also love all the creative possibilities of photo processing, and time can disappear while I’m in this mode! Trying to find the perfect balance to fulfill all of my daily responsibilities, yet continue to pursue my dreams, passions, and creative outlets definitely has its challenges, but I can’t imagine my life any other way.
My passion is clearly family and photography, but I also love Thai food, social media, film, and sharing an uplifting coffee & chat with friends.
