Eleanor
Did you know:
As a toddler Elly was a prolific snail eater! We’re glad she’s grown out of that one 
One of her first jobs was as a Lollipop lady! In fact at the time, she was Britain’s youngest lollipop lady! She also worked as a cycle courier in her 20’s – cycling a whopping 60 miles daily for the princely sum of £1 a mile… I don’t like to think how long that must have taken 
She also spent a year learning Haute Couture with the company that made Camilla Parker Bowles wedding dress She’s currently on a 1544 day streak learning French with Duolingo!
Daniel
So without further ado – here’s the goss on our Dan!
Dan is a complete chocoholic! If you look closely at the picture you’ll find more evidence of this hehe
(I’m sure a lot of can relate to that ) You might know that Dan is an Aussie and grew up there – but he once got lost in the Australian Bush and had to spend the night in a cave. He’s a total Movie buff 
He’s also really into Music! So much so, that you could ask him pretty much anything on the topic and he can tell you answer! ♫♫ And finally…. he loves to sing! When he was younger he was part of a band, but now spends his spare time writing and performing his own songs! How cool is that!
Hannah
So what about outside of the studio?
Hannah has a degree in Illustration and loves drawing, making and generally getting her creative skates on! If you’re on one of our plans that includes an album – Hannah will be personally illustrating your cover! How cool is that! 
As a young child Hannah had ten friends that went with her everywhere- her fingers. They were called ‘her fellas’! 
She was a keen, competitive swimmer from the age of 8. A few years ago she swam the length of Coniston Water to raise money for charity…in October. Yes, it was just a little bit cold! 
Hannah loves to travel. This has taken her on solo adventures to Australia, Canada and India and she had a wonderful stint working in the Italian Dolomites. Since Covid and the birth of her daughter her travels have been UK based but she’s found ‘being a tourist on your own doorstep’ to feel just as intrepid! She’s a bit sporty and loves skiing, climbing and biking. More recently she’s enjoyed hula hoop and silks and can do ‘the lift’ from the film ‘Dirty Dancing’.
Jo
If you give us a call, you will very likely chat with Jo. We think of her as our fairy godmother, she is our studio manager and utterly wonderful solver of all problems. She can answer any question you throw at her and she makes a really mean cup of tea too!
But what about when she’s not in the studio?
Jo can’t stand Mint Chocolate. It makes her feel sick and yet her family insist on offering her After Eights every Christmas? 
Her daughter Arwen is named after the Half-Elven Princess in Lord of the Rings. Both Jo and Arwen’s Dad are huge Geeks- loving all things fantastical- including Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones and Stranger Things… to name just a few! 
️
Jo loves all things black- her wardobe is almost completely black, with any bright colours being in her hair and tattoos! Jo is half-Iranian and was born and bred on the humble cobbles of Burnley, Lancashire- an avid Claret- some might say she gets a little too invested in the football every weekend! 
She is obsessed with Musical Theatre. As a trained Actor, her favourite thing to do is reference Musical lyrics at every possible opportunity. And having played every character under the sun- her favourite part to play is the classic Villain 
…Eeeek! Finally, she loves a nice Chinese takeaway, lots of cheese nibbles and glass of vino! 
Lina
The little ones absolutely love Lina! She has a natural flair for baby portraits and is a fantastic new addition to our wonderful team. She’s with us two a days a week, and alternate weekends, and when she’s not with us, she keeps herself very busy…
When she’s not at PhotoBaby, she works for Escape2Make, a youth charity that puts on creative events for teenagers and young people around Lancaster and Morecambe. And she spends her Saturdays working at a PQA, a performing arts school in Morecambe. She has a background in film production. Last year she produced a short documentary that celebrates the cultural heritage of the Mill Race area in Lancaster. She is currently taking a course in film photography and learning how to develop photos in a darkroom! She was born in Bulgaria and moved to the UK in 2019. She has been fluent in English since she was 10 and also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics and Chinese! And if all that doesn’t keep her busy enough, she is also interested in music and theatre. She worked at The Dukes during my time at university, and was the assistant director for The Grand Theatre’s 2023 family show – The Twits. She also does a bit of singing and can play an acoustic guitar (although she say’s she is not ready to share her playing with the world yet).
