Spark. Sport. Story.
Shaped by sport, people, and the spirit of the North East.
Hey, I’m Emma!
Hi, I’m Emma — photographer, sport obsessive, and storyteller at heart. My work is all about colour, movement, and authenticity — because I believe your photos should feel like you, not a stiff headshot or stock image.
Spark
My dad always had a camera in his hands — usually pointed at me (back when I was too small to complain 🙄). One day he handed it over, showed me what to do, and I was hooked.
That spark never faded. Now I blend sport, storytelling, and emotion to create bold, movement-filled images that feel alive.
But my favourite part isn’t just capturing action — it’s helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera. My shoots are chilled, chatty, and full of laughter — because when you feel good, you look like you.
Sport
I was born in Wiltshire, live in Gloucestershire, and carry the pride and passion of my dad’s Newcastle roots. It’s that Northern spark that fuels my work and keeps me grounded.
Sport has always been my heartbeat — if there was a ball, a pitch, or a court, I was on it. Tennis came first: I trained hard, competed at Earl’s Court, and later coached juniors and adults (including one or two who made it to Wimbledon). Football came close behind — I even had tryouts with Bristol Rovers, Chelsea, and Birmingham City. But tennis had my heart… unless Newcastle United had called, obviously. ⚫️⚪️
Story
Before photography took over, I spent years working with children and young people. They taught me more about patience, empathy, and resilience than any textbook ever could — and showed me the power of showing up, even when it’s tough.
Somewhere in there, I studied Law through The Open University — working full-time by day and studying by night. It wasn’t easy, but it built the determination and resourcefulness I now bring to every shoot. Whatever the challenge, I’ll always find a way to make it work.
Off-camera, you’ll find me chasing sunsets (or auroras if I’m lucky), making a mess of a golf swing, or swearing at video games (Mario Kart, anyone?).
