Pam was bought her first camera in 1979, but despite being a keen member of a local camera club the raising of her family meant she couldn't devote her attention to photography as anything more than a hobby, until she happenned upon a heavily discounted holiday package to Austria in 1988 which enabled her to put together panel of Austrian landscapes that earnt her a Royal Photographic Society Licentiateship.
In 1995 Pam was offered a place on a photographic degree course in Middlesbrough which lead to a Masters degree in Business and Multimedia and an Entrepreneurship at Durham University Business School. Not looking back Pam eventually settled on Wedding Photography as her niche, and is now well established thanks to BNI members and Wedding Fayres, to the point that she has been able to take on a female student presenting images to couple from a variety of perspectives.
