“I am the taker of the photos…
I am the receiver of the groans, they eye-rolls and the `hurry ups`.
I am the one who disrupts the moments, to capture them.
And sometimes it’s hard to be that person.
But I am also the holder of the memories…
I am the one who keeps the precious proof.
I am the bearer of the stories, the maker of the photo books that bring tears, laughter and love rushing into the room each time they are opened.
And if you are too, please know you are capturing this life, as it happens.
You are capturing stages, ages, twists, turns and last moments no one could have foreseen.
And generations to come will thank you for it, even if no one does right now.
The eye-rolls will be replaced one day with absolute all-consuming gratitude, for the image of a smiling face so missed and a memory returned home to stay.
Keep disrupting life to capture it my friends, when it’s all that is left, someone somewhere will be so very glad you did.”

I’m often reminded of the deeper meaning behind what I do. Earlier this year, I photographed a remarkable woman for a charity calendar. Tragically, she passed away just two weeks after the photoshoot. Her family now treasures those photos as a beautiful memory of her strength and joy.
Whether it’s for your business or personal life, photography preserves moments that can never be recreated. It tells the story of who you are, captures the essence of your journey, and creates lasting connections—for generations to come.
This Christmas, I’m offering gift vouchers for photography sessions—perfect for gifting to someone special or treating yourself. Whether it’s for a business branding shoot,a family session,or any other occasion, these vouchers are a meaningful way to give the gift of memories.
When you purchase a gift voucher, I’ll add an extra £50 credit. You can pass this on as an additional gift or use it to enhance your own session—it’s my way of adding even more value to your thoughtful gift.
By gifting a photography session, you’re gifting everything Donna’s words describe: the stories, the smiles, and the joy of reliving moments that might otherwise slip away.

Vanda is a superb photographer and a beautiful person. I trusted her 100% having my photos taken as a part of my business makeover.
Working with Vanda was so effortless, she created a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. She intuitively knew how I wanted my pictures taken and what message to send out through them.
I can highly recommend her professional skills!

Vanda really is a special person. More than a photographer, she takes on the very heart and soul of your business to capture it cleverly in image form. My first shoot with her was a beautiful experience with pictures to match. Although I am confident with my clothes and style, I didn't really know what to bring in terms of props so it was her creativity that added those all important touches. On continuing to work with her I find myself comfortable in front of the camera as I know and trust her. When she tells me to waft around waving scarves in the air or to lie in a grassy field at sunset I just know there is a vision in her mind and the outcome will be magical. For images that capture your personality and stand out from the norm Vanda is your woman!
