Hello there, I'm Carolyn.

Proud human to a (now slightly smaller) gang of geriatric rescue dogs — currently just two lovable characters left, one collie, one sprollie. At one point, our motley crew numbered seven! Here's where you'll usually find them, keeping me company on life’s small adventures.

Bonkers? Maybe just a little. 😊

My photography journey began back around 2005, when my daughter was growing up. Like many parents, I picked up my first DSLR to capture those fleeting childhood moments — until she reached the age where I was officially banned from pointing a camera at her!

But my real passion took off when I tried (and failed, many times!) to photograph my first high-speed, wildly energetic border collie. That’s when shutter speed became my obsession, and the love for mastering movement and emotion in an image truly began.

From there, I started volunteering for local animal rescues, capturing portraits of animals needing homes — some of the most rewarding work I've done. Over time, my photography expanded into family and pet portraits, and in 2011, I shot my very first wedding at Gretna Green. Since then, I’ve also taken on commercial photography, and enjoyed every new challenge along the way.

Small Adventures Photography officially launched in 2014, and I haven’t looked back since. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to photograph a diverse range of people, animals, events, and products. I don’t stick to one niche — I simply enjoy telling stories through images, whatever the subject may be
