I'VE LIVED IN SHETLAND FOR MORE THAN HALF OF MY LIFE. I'M SO LUCKY TO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE BEAUTY AND INSPIRATION, OF THIS INCREDIBLE PLACE, FOR SUCH A LENGTH OF TIME.
I hopped onto my website to make a tiny quick tweak… and promptly fell down a rabbit hole. It turns out it’s been four whole years since I last updated it. Four! No wonder it was starting to feel like a time capsule.
In those four years I’ve barely sat still — I’ve photographed weddings, newborns, families, products, more Up Helly Aa’s than I can count, and even had a brief spell as an estate agency photographer. It’s been a blur of galleries and giggles, and I’m so grateful to everyone who’s let me capture their moments (and occasionally climb on chairs, be lifted on forklifts, watched me get soaked in the sea and whatever else I've had to do to get “the shot”).
In that time I've also taken over the ownership of Shetland Jewellery so if I'm not behind a camera lens you'll find me in the workshop in Weisdale. Which is really cool.
I will persevere with my site updates, and in the meantime thank you for taking time to look, and much gratitude to those who choose book me even though my website needs an overhaul.
Much Love, Sophie - July 2025
