Hi there,
I'm Grace!
Being a photographer is a privilege and a responsibility.
I grew up in a society that told me I wasn't enough. It told me I should look a certain way, act in a certain way, and be a certain way (thanks, in part, to 2000s television and fashion magazines).
As I got older, I welcomed healthier messaging. These days, I celebrate individuality, confidence and compassion.
These values are at the heart of my photography and videography.
I live for moments that make us feel alive inside.
There is only one you, and that is a wonderful gift.
My job is not about changing you, it's about getting to know who you are and what motivates you, and capturing that magic on camera.
Particularly when it comes to dance - there is not one body type or experience level. Inidividuality is what makes dance magical.
As the one-and-only Judy Garland said:
"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."

“"Grace has a meticulous 'dancer's eye' for line and movement.
Her creativity and artistry makes her the perfect individual to capture dance visually. She brilliantly relays the expression, mood and energy of my dancers and translates my choreography onto film superbly!
With Grace behind the lens, she makes everyone feel at ease. She is a truly wonderful individual to work with. She always exudes professionalism and passion for her craft.""
Valerie Mae Brown, Artistic Director
""The video so perfectly captured our company's spirit, and the talent of our dancers.
I noticed a distinct increase in both calls and emails coming from users who visited the site, and many even mentioned how fabulous the video is.
Her familiarity with proper dance placement and excellent musicality meant that I didn't have to spend one second micro-managing the project.
The dancers absolutely loved having her there, because she made them all look fabulous. I cannot speak highly enough of Grace, and her work.""
Lucie Rayner, Physiotherapist
“"I used Grace Pictures to make a short film for my updated website.
I had some ideas on how I wanted the film to look and Grace quickly understood my concept and was able add her own ideas. Grace made the filming easy, relaxed and organised despite working in a confined space with challenging lighting.
She kept me updated throughout the editing process and was open to feedback and alterations to the initial draft. I am very happy with the finished product and would not hesitate to recommend Grace for similar projects."”
