A women’s football photographer, working in the game for many years.

Hi everyone, I am a female photographer who mainly covers Women’s Football in the UK. You’ll probably see me pitch side usually with a hat on.

Having grown up in Kenya, I always had an interest in photography and I’d usually take my camera out when we went on Safari to take pictures of the Wildlife.

I came over to the UK for University and when I finished that I sort of came across Arsenal Women and started going to games as a fan. I’d always been an Arsenal fan but didn’t know much about the women’s team as there wasn’t much coverage of it back home in Kenya.

I started out doing sports photography to help grow the women’s game and promote it as well as some of the amazing athletes that are involved.

Fast forward a few years and I now regularly shoot at Arsenal Women’s games as well as other WSL and WC matches. I am also the Welsh Women’s National Team photographer. The highlight of the last few years has definitely been covering the Women’s World Cup in France in 2019, it was an unbelievable experience.

Here is some oh my favourite photos that I’ve taken over the years.
