I’m Christine, hi there. I’m a wife, mum and canine lover. I was born and elevated in South Africa and moved to Scotland on a little bit of a whim when I was 17. The regular “I generally experienced a digital camera in my hand” tale is very accurate for me, and super monotonous – so we’ll skip that portion. My interest turned into my job pretty immediately, and I had enrolled for a images qualification alternatively of business enterprise and regulation, quit my job and as they say – the rest is background.

There isn’t one working day that I seem back and regret the journey I have been on and I am so completely grateful to my to start with consumers in 2012 who gave me a likelihood, with no experience and minimal package. I don’t forget them continue to, 10 years afterwards.

Conference new people with similar values and outlooks and having amazing photographs of them, in with any luck , beautiful light-weight. Listening to their tales, meeting their households and mates, and documenting the bits and pieces of the day, the times that make their day special to them.

I really like that when the day’s all been and gone, they’ll even now have people reminders of what the working day felt and seemed like. I unquestionably enjoy it when partners reply with “Oh my gosh, who realized we could look so superior?” and that makes me giddy!

Who, or what conjures up you?

I don’t have mom and dad remaining sadly, only photographs of them. The relaxation of my loved ones are all over the world, and once more, pictures are these types of a essential portion of how we remain connected and how we keep in mind.

Really don’t get me completely wrong, there are photographers and artists I absolutely adore, and I really like films and Television set and huge, magnificent photographic espresso desk guides – but it’s likely the WHY that inspires me as opposed to the who or the what. Does that sound cringe? Almost certainly, but it is accurate. As the indicating goes, if there are no images, it didn’t materialize!

Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?

Oh wow, quickly that feels like a life time absent. Unquestionably in Scotland, a somewhat much larger household that permits my very own office house as opposed to the dwelling space – thanks to working-from-property-without end, my husband has hijacked my business house for superior. I do not brain as the living room is nearer to the kettle in any case!

Unquestionably nevertheless photographing weddings and persons! I cannot see myself at any time accomplishing something else.

Owning a camper van would be pretty as we really like adventures. I’d adore to shoot much more proposals, engagements and chilled way of living family members stuff in the quieter months. Normally I’m quite happy with daily life and material with points as they are. No more canine, seemingly.

Notify us a secret…

Oh, challenging. Not truly a magic formula but my husband and I fulfilled on line, 11 a long time back. I cannot stand espresso and if I have two alcoholic drinks a yr, which is a whole lot for me. I’m a total chocolate and tea addict nevertheless!

Increasing up in South Africa, my mother and I applied to rescue kittens identified in the wild nearby, bottle feed and elevate them and then discover them new, permanently houses.

On a working day off, we’ll uncover you the place?

You will uncover me discovering somewhere with my spouse and toddler, going for walks the dogs someplace new and usually in research of a fantastic very hot chocolate and a look at. Different to this would be at residence ingesting tea, making puzzles and binge looking at Netflix.
