A little about me

Originally an Oxfordian I moved to beautiful Devon IN THE EARLY 2000’s following my parents after their retirement, setting up home in lovely torquay. 

After meeting my husband we decided that we wanted to remian by the sea and start a family, along came our goregous little boy to accompany my two incredible step children, completing the family with a much loved miniature Schnauzer. 

i started photography at a very young age helping out my dad in the studiO, he was an incredible car photographer which has to be one of the hardest subjects to shoot. FROM THERE MY LOVE STORY WITH THE CAMERA JUST GREW AND GREW. 

I studied Photography at Nottingham Trent University – old school in the darkrooms, this taught me that when you have only 24 or 36 exposures & you are on a students budget you needed to get it right in the camera or you would be spending hours in the darkroom correcting any mistakes dodging and burning!  

Photography is more than a job to me, it is a passion and love and there is nothing more satisfying than creating images that can tell a story WHETHER IT BE FOR A BUSINESS OR AN INDIVIDUAL CREATING IMPACT,EMOTION AND A LASTING IMPRESSION. 

WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN OFFERING HIGH QUALITY IMAGES DELIEVRED HAND IN HAND WITH GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, ENSURING YOUR IMAGES MAKE AN IMPACT AND STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD.  

Whether its capturing moments in time or increasing your brand's presence, professional photography is crucial.

But, why choose me?

I am most at ease behind my camera and can’t help but to take photographs on EVERY occasion. The power to capture moments in time has always captivated me. 

I specialise in Interiors, Branding, Headshots, Events, Product and Food photography and love what I do, I work hard to create lasting memories with my clients, not just the images I deliver but also the service, always going above and beyond providing an excellent all round experience from initial contact to final delivery. 

I studied photography from an early age, following in my father’s footsteps, and graduated with a photography degree from Nottingham Trent University.  

Starting my photography journey working for a well-known car magazine, as well as on large cruise ships, after stepping away from Photography for a few years I started Poppy Jakes Photography back in 2018, leaving a well-paid sales job and taking a huge risk, thankfully I’ve never looked back and the business goes from strength to strength. 

I love what I do and feel very fortunate to work with such an array of businesses and individuals making each day different to the next.
