Well, Hello there you
and Welcome! Thank you for stopping by.
I am Justine, an award winning, qualified, female photographer living in Hampshire with my husband of 23 years, two teens and an over- loved Labrador called Jonty – as a family we are known as The Berties.
I drink red wine.
My favourite day is Sunday, when I go for a family dog walk, eat a delicious roast cooked by my wonderful husband and watch a film. With a glass of red wine of course.
My other favourite day is any day I am photographing. I am incredibly lucky to do a job I really enjoy.
I also like days when I am lying on a beach in the sunshine A lot.
Or mooching about in an independent homeware store.
I wouldn’t be described as an exercise enthusiast. Except if you count spas. I’ll do a dog walk, as it has purpose, that purpose being, it brings my dog and I joy.
I love people.
Everyone is welcome here.
I am hugely empathic and genuinely enthusiastic about all things people; getting caught up in the sheer excitement, joy or sadness of the moment you are in and reflecting that back in the photos I take.
I am a true ENFP personality type. It very much influences the way I work and how I approach your photoshoot (whether it’s branding, family, weddings or events)
To really capture who you are, I insist on getting to know you.
I smile A LOT.
Mostly because I am happy and when I’m not, I’ll listen to a podcast, an audible book, or go for a walk to lift my mood to smiling again.
I’m not mad-keen on having my photo taken either.
I believe in the same way music can transport you back to a moment in time, your photos are a tangible memory too. In other words if you aren’t enjoying having your photo taken you’ll remember that whenever you look at them. It’s unlikely you’ll like the end results.
I therefore endeavour to make that moment as effortless, fun and comfortable as possible throughout all my shoots and for everyone that’s in them. One of the greatest compliments I often get is people assuming I am an old friend of my client and their family.
I am almost entirely booked by word of mouth, by people who have met me.
Apart from you of course …. but we’ll be friends soon enough.
Why not book a chat to see?

Amazing caring and brilliantly clever. We are so pleased we followed our first feelings to ask Justine to capture the essence of our dayThe Glovers
The day of our wedding has been portrayed perfectly by the album Justine has created for us. She was introduced to us by The Hotel, with superb samples of her work. She managed to capture all the aspects of our wedding from the quirky to the sensible to the fun and tears. We couldn't be happier with our gallery. Thank you so much JustineMr and Mrs Munsch.
We chose Justine for our wedding and could not have wished for better. She was brilliant before, during and after the event and helped us so much in having an amazing day. She made us feel so comfortable, relaxed and confident, which was a big thing for me as I don't often like having my picture taken. She is so enthusiastic, dedicated and positive. Our guests could not say enough nice things about her either! The preview photos are wonderful and we can't wait for the finished article. The Brembers
A portrait sounds rather formal but it doesn’t need to be .. let me show you how I can create beautiful, natural cherished memories of ALL your family , on all the special occasions.
