A wee bit about me

My name is Donna Murray and I live in Aberdeenshire with my partner Ben, and my son’s Finn & Iggy. Ok, Iggy is a whippet but he does believe he is human!

First things first…Photography! I love it! I have had a camera in my hand since I was 14 years old. I studied photography at North East College Scotland in Aberdeen and Napier University in Edinburgh then got a job as a press photographer. I then took a year out to go travelling and worked as a photographer in the Rocky mountains in Canada! When I got home I set up my own business and 12 years later I am still in love with what I do!

When my wee dude came along, I used to travel a lot. I’ve travelled from Nepal, Morocco to South America. A massive life moment for me was photographing maternal health in India and Malawi for an Aberdeen based charity and exhibiting the images at Hollyrood to raise awareness of poor hospital conditions. If i’m not at weddings or editing, i’m out walking, I adore Scotland and plan big walks and climb Munro’s when I can, but love all the local walks around the north east just as much.

I love meeting up with friends for walks followed by coffee and cake. I have recently rediscovered my love for live music and I enjoy a rummage through vintage shops.
