About First Avenue Photography

When I first walked into a newsroom at The Portsmouth News (in the very early 90’s, shhh!) and deeper into the depths of the photography darkroom, I found myself surrounded by a new breed of people I’d not met before – press photographers. It felt like I’d arrived home.

Since then I’ve freelanced, put myself through the NCTJ Press Photography course, getting my first ever Distinction, worked with four top regional newspapers, freelanced again and had my photos published all over the world.

I love working with my clients to achieve aesthetically pleasing photographs that suit their purpose, whether it’s for their website, their profile or for a publication.

Showing the people behind your company or your brand in a confident, positive way makes you shine through. Let your customers know they’re in good hands.

Everyone has a photo in them. What's yours?

Typical Clients

I’m now proud to call Airbus, Bristol Zoo, Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal & Triodos Bank, amongst my clients. Feel free to look at my portfolio and see for yourself.

(Come on, I know how much you love having your photo taken!)

We’ll work together to capture the right tone, fulfilling your brief and giving you creative photographs that tell your story.

My camera’s ready when you are!

What a Women!!

Barbara was an absolute god send on my wedding day. The weather was unpredictable and Barbara adapted to what the weather was doing. She was patient and calm when there was a lot of chaos happening. I can't thank Barbara enough for everything she done for us at the ceremony and after. I can not wait to see the photos, but if they are anything like Barbara, they will be perfect.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your wedding day and to capture such a special occasion for you both. The weather certainly kept us on our toes, but your positivity and trust made it easy to adapt and make the most of every moment. Thank you again for choosing me to document your wedding. I can't wait to share your photographs with you and relive all those wonderful memories together. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and love!
