Gosh, don’t you just hate talking about yourself? I know I do, but I really want you to know who I am before we step on this journey together.

Well, I have 3 kids, one who is all grown up now themselves! I live in West Yorkshire with my husband and our 5 cats – yes we are definitely crazy cat people!

I have always enjoyed arty, creative things, even as a small child but fell in love with the art of photography back when I was just 12. My step-dad took me on a night course to learn black and white film photography and that was it; I was hooked!

The thing is I never really thought of it as a career, I just loved to take photos, especially of my kids when they were really little.
So, I have had many different jobs over the years, all mostly retail/customer service type roles. In November 2017 I unfortunately lost my job working as a property manager due to changes in the business so after some thought I decided to go it alone and set up Sophie Ransome Photography!

And I love it.

I love taking photos of people doing what they love, with the ones they love, watching as even the shyest of people shine as they relax into their own confidence.
