WELL HELLO THERE
IS IT JO, OR JOANNE?
An open heart, is an open mind.
Dalai Lama xiv
I call myself both by the way, but my mum says it is Joanne. Either way, I am open to new experiences and ideas, so will happily chat with you about your exciting dreams & plans to learn what inspires you. Fancy a cuppa with your notebook to create something wonderful …
Yeah!

WHY PHOTOGRAPHY?
Will we get on?
If, like me, you love photos, from the old family albums, to the Insta squares, then we have this in common. I’m a visual person who learns and views the world that way and having been gifted my first pro camera at 18, I love to tell stories with images.
THE INSIDE SCOOP
Changing careers means I probably understand
From an employed designer, then buyer, to a mature university student, to a self-employed photograper and now also a co-owner in a retreat & accommodation business, I can probably relate to everything you are juggling in your lifestyle & business. So let me take some ideas from your busy head and get them visually out there for you.

THE NEW PLAN
I took a pause and I’m back baby!
After my move from Leicester city life in 2017, to Cumbrian country life to open a new business with Damian, we now have things in place, so I can offer you the new opportunities.
EVERY CREATIVE
HAS A MUSE
The things that set my soul on fire … or at least make me smile:
Nature, animals, open water swimming, mountains, travel, worldwide cultures, art, artists, yoga, breathwork, cold water exposure, the coast, exhibitions, movies, photography books, photo albums, live music, festivals, hiking, holistic therapies, second hand fashion, good fizz, a proper belly laugh, sunrise, like-minded vibes, a who done it mystery, positivity and gratitude x
Adventurer – erhm?
- IMPOSTER SYNDROME
- WILLING TO TRY
I’m not a fully fledged Lake District outdoorsey person, but I do love the opportunities of living here and am inspired to give things a go.
I can trek with you, get in open water, or crawl on the ground to get you the shots you need. With many years of photographing, weddings, families, children and animals, there is not much I can’t adapt to for you.
Us – Damian & Bracken
- LIFE IS FOR LIVING
- BE MORE DOG
We run St Marks Stays so we can have a life that doesn’t pass us by.
