She originally studied film photography at Photography Studies College. After 7 years as a digital family and wedding photographer, she bought a couple of film cameras prior to embarking on a 3 month motorhome adventure with her own family, mainly because she wanted to be able to give her kids a shoebox full of real photographs documenting this experience, much like the ones she had received from her own parents. She has hardly taken a digital photo since, and her professional and personal work are all film.
