hey, I’m ali

Wife, mum of two, cat and soon-to-be dog parent. The sea has my heart, and moving to North Berwick was one of the best things I’ve ever done. I love paddle boarding on calm days, body boarding when the waves show up, and heading off in our campervan for family adventures.

When I’m not with my camera, you’ll probably find me elbow-deep in a DIY project, carving prints, or rearranging a corner of my home just because it makes me happy. I dabble in tennis (aspiring is the key word here), binge crime novels, and balance it out with a steady stream of health and fitness podcasts.

Coffee is my daily obsession (flat white, please), and I’ve never met a piece of stationery I didn’t love. Hand me a good notebook and some fresh pens and I’m content.

I’m one of those people who notices the little things—probably thanks to my engineering days—and I can’t help but bring that into everything I do. I’m also the one who’s always early, because being on time just feels right.

At the heart of it, I love people and their stories. Whether it’s my own family or the ones I get to photograph and film, what matters most to me is the real stuff: laughter, connection, and the small details that make life feel like yours..
