I'm Megan Oakley, a freelance photographer based in London with a BA Hons in Photography from Nottingham Trent University. I specialise in event and portrait photography, capturing candid moments and telling stories through movement and emotion. I enjoy editing with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to bring out colour and depth, and I also practice video editing and social media management to help clients share their memories online. Outside photography, I nanny part-time for several families, supporting children aged 1 to 15 with daily activities, homework, and meals. I’m first aid trained and I love guiding and encouraging kids to try new things. I approach work with a proactive, can-do attitude and take pride in making a positive difference in people's days.
