Growing up in both chic Geneva, Switzerland and the free-spirited vibes of Ibiza, it’s no real surprise that I’ve been drawn to and influenced by the world of luxury fashion and easy-going bohemian living.
Story telling is at the heart of my work. Always relaxed, natural, romantic and feminine, my ideas stem from a deep fantasy to retain the escapist and ethereal memories and emotions that dominated my childhood.
These days I live between London and Cornwall and work with brands and businesses such as East Clothing, Daisy Jewellery, Barbour, Joules, White Stuff, La Galeria Elefante and Crew Clothing to help them to grow their audiences, sell their products and inspire their followers.

When I was about 8 years old, my godmother moved to the island of Ibiza. Subsequently, I spent my most of my childhood and teenage summers on the island. Don’t mistake Ibiza for simply being a party island - it is so much more than that; a free spirited, easygoing, bohemian island, with warm temperatures, olive groves as far as the eye can see, and crystal clear waters.
As an angsty, emotional, and tragically romantic 15 year old, I discovered Flickr.com (I like to call it Instagram before Instagram). Fascinated that young people of the same age were taking photos, and sharing them, I was hooked. I taught myself how to use a camera, began to take photso and eventually went onto study a degree in Fashion Photography at Falmouth University in Cornwall.
My work is incredibly influenced by my upbringings in both Geneva, Ibiza and the time I later spent living in Cornwall. The love for fashion and luxury, and beautifully crafted accessories, coupled with my adoration of the bohemian, free spirited vibes of Ibiza somehow mesh into one, and create the photos that I take.
These days, I live in London and Cornwall, working with brands and business such as Daisy Jewellery, Barbour, Joules, White Stuff, La Galeria Elefante and Crew Clothing. I take images which help them to grow their audiences, sell their products and inspire their followers.

- Avon for Schon MagazineAvon, meaning "river" in Cornish. This river we shot these images on means more to me than I could probably express with words. It's where my partner and I had our first date, where he proposed to me, where we will get married next year. It's a place I've gone to when I've been sad, or happy. Where I've done walk after walk with friends, laughing and crying. It's my "happy place." Here's to many more shoots on the Helford River! Model: Elinor at Tess Management Stylist: Annie Swain Make

- Second Hand But Grand - Fashion Editorial Video - Moss MagazineCreative Direction by Olivia Bossert. Olivia: “Second Hand But Grand. This one took a lot of planning; I wanted to use nothing but second-hand clothing! I’ve loved vintage shopping since I was a teenager. My mum and I found a shop a few villages away when I was about 14 that sold the most amazing vintage pieces, and we’d go about once a month to see what we could find. I never knew at the time that what we were doing was “sustainable.” The movement to shop less and buy smarter has definitely m
