Cheltenham based photographer specialising in Fine Art Maternity, Children and family photography

as well as qualified and Experienced Early years and Primary School teacher

Hi, I’m Magda

I live in a beautiful town on the edge of the Cotswolds called Cheltenham with my two wonderful daughters, cute dog, Benji and a chubby cat, Toffee.

I am a professional photographer specialising in fine art maternity and portrait photography, but mainly, I am a mum to my beautiful twin daughters, who are my whole world.

Beside this, I am a qualified teacher with years of experience in working with babies and young children, so you can be sure I will use my best knowledge, understanding and natural instinct to make your child engaged and happy.

Privately, I love animals, nature, traveling to new, beautiful places, finding magic in simple things, watching rom coms, dancing, my DIY projects and antique shopping.

“Do what you love, love what you do”

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved taking photos. Many photographers say it and it’s totally true. We all do. Still, every single one of us has a different story.

Here is mine…

The person who first introduced me to a camera, at a very young age, was my dad. He loves taking photos, well, most of my family does. (I think it runs in my blood…) We had an old film camera and I remember being fascinated by how it worked. Ever since then, I’ve been our unofficial family photographer, taking photos on every possible occasion : holidays, trips and family gatherings - a camera has always been in my hands.

In May 2005 I became a mum to my twin daughters and bought my first “proper” camera to photograph my babies as they grow. Taking photos of my daughters has made me extremely happy and fulfilled, I didn’t need anything else.

My whole life, I’ve been surrounded by children. For many years, I worked in a local nursery and then a primary school , but I loved every single day nonetheless. I loved teaching, but my passion has always been photography and I’ve found my calling is to create rather than educate.

In the meanwhile, my babies grew into beautiful, independent young ladies and I’m not able to photograph them as often as I used to. I’ve realised, I simply cannot live without taking photos. I tried to photograph my pets, landscapes, flowers etc, but I was missing the emotions, interactions and the connection that only people have when they interact with each other.

The final decision to start my own photography business was made on 1st May 2019 on my best friend’s wedding in Poland. I can remember the strong feeling, pushing me to stand up, take my camera and start shooting. On that day, I knew this is what I want to do with my life. I want to create beautiful memories, capture precious moments and show the uniqueness of us, human beings.
