WHAT PEOPLE SAY
'Billie is an astounding photographer who captures real spirit, personality, and charisma in every portrait — delivered on time and edited to a tee. She works to the brief, but brings her own artistic instinct to it, consistently delivering more than you knew you wanted. The results are immaculate, every time. Technically sharp, genuinely creative, and a joy to collaborate with — Billie doesn’t just take the photo, she elevates it. Couldn’t recommend her more highly. (Kate Cornish, Pets At Home Magazine)
I''I've seen many of Billies' photographs and also witnessed personally her taking them. I think they tell a story that somehow has an uncomplicated and uncontaminated truth. She seems both to make it so easy and comfortable for her subjects yet not imposing any agenda. In my view she is a truly brilliant photographer'. (Clive Oxford)
'Billie is my go-to photographer for portraits, events and workshops in Hay and further afield too. She's wildly talented and also super supportive of her clients' creative endeavours. From my own book launch to website photos to delivering workshops and launching the town's first Pride, Billie has been there, bringing her magic and I am SO grateful and lucky to know her! Thank you Billie. (6 stars out of 5!). (Helen Jane Campbell)

'Billie took the most amazing photos on our wedding day. We didn’t want a traditional wedding photographer taking staged photos, but instead someone who could capture us and our guests enjoying every moment in more of a “reportage” style. Billie was the perfect woman for job, she took so many beautiful photos and really captured the joy and the magic of our big day. She is also a fabulous person and it was a delight to have her there with us! Cannot recommend her highly enough.' (Gary Marsden)

(Jo Maurice, National Lottery Community Fund)
'We've been using Billie for our professional photos for over five years and she never fails to amaze us with her beautiful photos. As well as making us feel completely at ease during shoot days, Billie seems understand our brand even better than we do; her photos capture our story in a way I couldn't even begin dream of! To make it even better, editing is done and the photos delivered with amazing speed. With her incredible eye for colour and narrative and simply as a lovely person to work with, I'd recommend Billie to anyone- she is truly talented and a joy to spend time with.'
