"Photographing kids is hilarious, all the planning and pre-production meetings very often count for nothing when it’s time to start shooting. Unpredictable, chaotic, noisy and sometimes pretty messy, you never really know what’s going to happen on set, but that’s where the magic is; that’s when the authentic, un-scripted moments happen.

I’m always looking for a strong image that easily captures a moment or a mood. I especially love developing a narrative within a shoot, capturing pace within a group of people, and my distinctive and relaxed style enables me to deliver spontaneous, creative and beautifully lit images.

Recent clients include LG, BMW, Unilever, Danone, Laura Ashley, Dyson, Yamaha and Vauxhall.

Her private work is frequently published in Babiekinsmag and Hooligans Magazine.

"When parents tell their kids they're off to a casting, most of them ask: 'are we going to see Nina?' Why? Because no one takes better care of them, and there's no one they can have greater fun with on the set!"
