I couldn’t do what I do if I didn’t truly love it…

In 2014 I married my best friend, surrounded by the people I love. My wedding was every bit as wonderful as I hoped it would be.

Then back in 2016, after being uncertain if I could even have children, my dreams came true as I fell pregnant.  I was given an early Christmas present that year becoming mummy to my beautiful baby boy in December. He is now a very lively pre-schooler obsession with Dragons (just like mummy) and cars (not like mummy). Our family was completed last year when we welcomed our second baby into our lives. The joy all my boys give me is unparalleled.  I feel truly blessed to have these wonderful boys in my life. They are my favourite reason to lose sleep!

My journey into photography started back at school. During my art class I was always fascinated with how trends moved and developed over the years. To be honest back then I spent more time painting and illustrating rather than taking photos. It wasn’t until college, when I studied the meaning and history behind photography and art, that my love of the medium truly began.

During university I learnt about art, animation, lighting and media. This led me to a career in the television industry. My camera was never far from my side and I found myself more and more drawn back to portraiture. So I decided to go with my heart, starting up Lorraine Claire Photography in 2012 and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve trained with award-winning companies and learnt from some of the best UK and international photographers.

I am a strong believer that you never stop learning and that there is always something new and beautiful just around the corner.
