Hello, I’m Anna
I am a professional commercial photographer based in Preston, Lancashire, having recently moved here from my home county of Yorkshire. I work throughout the North West of England. I have two children and my husband is a primary school teacher, so I understand the challenges of day-to-day life in a school. I have also spent years volunteering as a Youth Worker and thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to work with young people.
I have been working as a photographer since 2010 and now specialise in prospectus and advertising photography for schools and charities. I have developed a unique set of skills through my work as a documentary wedding photographer, which are invaluable in my work in education photography. I am able to quickly adapt to situations as they unfold – for example, when the light changes suddenly or schedules need to shift – and can quickly put people at ease. I can seamlessly go between staged and candid images as needed.
I find real joy in capturing fresh and modern education photographs. I aim to deliver a real, unique set of images which help websites and prospectuses stand out.

“Anna came into our school on a grey November day but she brought enough sunshine with her to ensure the most amazing set of photos were taken. The quality of composition, the ability to capture the joy and energy of the classrooms and playgrounds were captured with ease, making this set of photos the very best we have ever had. I recommend Anna without hesitation; her work will enliven websites and walls.”
