Hey, I’m MAUREEN

I AM AN ARTIST and GUIDE with a passion for helping WOMEN, LOVERS and CREATORS RECONNECT WITH THEIR WILD NATURE THROUGH EMBODIED PHOTO SESSIONS.

Growing up I always felt I was an artist, but it wasn’t until I got a camera in my hands as a teenager that something finally *clicked.* I was a very shy girl, but came out of my shell with my new hobby as I began to connect with others.

I left my island home at 17 to study Film & Media, and develop my skills for telling visual stories. After graduating I worked on national campaigns as a photographer’s assistant in London, but soon realised I needed more freedom and started my own business in 2013.

My wedding and portrait work has taken me all over the world, from Australia to Iceland, and has been featured in leading industry publications. These days I am found more rooted, living slow paced on my island home of North Uist, with my 2 young children.

I travel frequently across the highlands and islands of Scotland, with adventures to warmer climates in winter, for work and play. I share a deep connection to the land I live on and enjoy bridging the beauty of the natural world with my subjects in my work. I believe in the healing power of nature and art, which have saved me on so many occasions.

I am a student of life, forever following my interests, which in turn add to my client’s experiences. Be that by hosting women’s circles or training as a birth doula and bodyworker.

I wish to tell honest, raw stories in an artistic way, helping women and lovers connect to themselves and eachother. It’s an honour to witness humans come alive in front of the camera – whether that’s during an embodiment session, creating at work or on their wild wedding days.
