Woburn Abbey Gardens
Thanks to my wonderful mum and grandma, who are both keen Gardeners, gardening has always been a big part of my Life.
From getting the Garden ready for Winter, digging up bulbs, harvesting strawberries and apples, cutting grass and bushes or just sitting down and watching busy bees and butterflies. I loved watching the cycle of seasons and documenting it with my little Box Camera.
Today I am lucky to work together with Woburn Abbey Gardens and a wonderful team of Gardeners, spending many hours capturing the beauty and colour with my camera. Garden Photography is about telling a story. A story filled with life and colour, passion and growth.
Capturing the changing of seasons, the first bees collecting nectar, the beauty of a single snowdrop hidden in the grass and the abundance of summer flowers, this is what makes my heart jump when working at the Gardens of Woburn Abbey.
