About Us

Hi!

My name is Nickie Westlake. I live in the beautiful New Forest in Southern England with my husband and 4 children.

Photography has always been a part of my life ever since my grandfather left me his pride and joy, an old Pentax K100!

In the late nineties I started studying photography on a part-time basis at Bournemouth and Poole College. It took me about 3 years to gain my City and Guilds award. I have since gained qualifications with the Royal Photographic Society, The Master Photographers Association and The British Professional Photographers Society. It's part of my ambition to constantly improve my photography, ensuring my clients get the very best from me!

I worked for many years with-in the Financial Sector,which taught me how important Customer Service is! I believe in treating people how I would like to be treated. So you can feel confident participating in My 'Client Experience!'

My enthusiasm for photography just keeps on growing! I love a challenge! But my real passion is 'People' photography; having fun and connecting with you!

My style is relaxed and unintrusive. Although many of the poses are 'directed', I pride myself on capturing that magic moment, resulting in images that are personal to you. Particually at Weddings, I love to take the detail that the Bride has spent so long planning and preparing; for example, shoes, name place cards and all the little extras that make the day so personal to her and her husband-to-be!

Relax and enjoy yourselves - feel free to contact me to discuss your wishes and dreams - together, we'll make them happen!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND INTEREST.
