I’ve always had a love for the energy on a film location but had never truly pursued being in front of the camera. I was diagnosed with Still’s Disease as a small child which impacted my everyday life leading to impaired mobility, pain and challenges to vision with a blind left eye. As a child I was in and out of hospital for lengthy stays and surgeries, often missing out on an education, school trips or traditional PE activities. It was a determination to find my safe space for uplifting movement that I often found myself most at home on a dancefloor, which kept my spirits up and a love for my body. I did various modelling jobs when I was younger and whilst I have always loved the camera, back then, I didn't quite fit the 'modelling box' nor was I interested in competing in that ruthless world. Then in my early 50's I felt I had a story to share and with disability & grey hair becoming more visual in mainstream advertising, it was a good time to explore the possibilities of modelling and acting again.
​
Despite my disabilities, I have always had a ‘pure love’ for my body, wobbly bits and all! I’ve refused to let disability or age define me, and instead have in these last few years, exceeded all expectations and limitations others may try to put upon me. Rather than compare myself to other people, I’ve been focusing on my own healing, wellness and ambitions, inspiring others to live their best lives too.
​
I have a BA Honours Degree in Women Studies with Communication Studies, a background in styling and events, and have run a successful wedding venue, The Keeper and the Dell, for the last decade at our home in Norfolk. I've enjoyed leading styling crews for festivals and private parties. I still have a love of dancing and dressing up, but now there may be a walking cane or eye patch added to my outfit.
​
We're adding The Little Red Studio to our venue this year for my own use and also to hire out for content creation filming, retreats, workshops and consultancy work.

Cheers to everyone out there who is discovering their dream, telling their story and finding their tribe to help them succeed. If you'd like to work with me on your own passions or projects, please do get in touch.
Have a beautiful day, Lolly
