Hi, I’m Debbie – a proud mum of two, a multi-award-winning newborn and portrait photographer, and a passionate newborn photography training mentor based in Tamworth, Staffordshire, near Birmingham. I’ve spent years perfecting my craft, and now, I’m here to help you grow your confidence, develop your signature style, and achieve your goals as a photographer.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your existing skills, I offer personalised mentoring and training designed to elevate your work – from camera to client gallery.
Why Train with Me?
Photography is a journey, and mine has been filled with learning, inspiration, and growth. I’ve been fortunate to receive some incredible mentorship throughout my career, and now I’m thrilled to offer that same guidance to others.
Here’s a little about my professional journey:
✨ Craftsman in Newborn & Baby Photography and Master Craftsman of Professional Photography (Guild of Photographers)
🏆 Portrait Winner, Newborn Runner-Up, and All-Round Photographer of the Year Winner – 2020
🌍 Top 10 International Newborn & Baby Photographer – since 2016
📸 Qualified in Newborn, Baby, People & Wedding Photography
💫 Photographer’s Bar – (2016 to date)
From top international rankings to multiple “Image of the Year” finalist positions, each accolade is a result of continuous learning – and a mentor who helped me see what I couldn’t see for myself. That’s exactly what I now offer my mentees.
