Nicky’s career has been varied & exciting from her 1st job in a local photographic studio to travelling the world as a photographer for 4 years on one of the world’s largest cruise liners. She returned from her travels & secured the prestigious post as cheif photographic technician at Cambridge Universties photographic & illustration department.
With a desire to push her boundaries In 2003 Focusfirst Photography was born, concentrating firstly on contemporary weddings; now she has proven to be a much sort after wedding photographer. Her key to success is in putting the clients at ease with the camera.
In 2006 Nicky took her baby daughter to classes with her local swim school Dolphin Birthlight, Inspired by the experience she just had to capture that magic on camera. With her past experience of dive imagery coming in very handy & a passion to perfect the image she was given the wonderful opportunity to conduct a professional underwater shoot.
Now Nicky is a leader in her field specialising in stunning images of babies & children above & under the water. She is also proud to uphold her reputation of the gentle approach to her Underwater Art. The child’s wishes are always respected & they are never pushed.
Swimming is great fun & bonding experience for the child & adult alike. Nicky feels passionate about capturing the freedom & pure pleasure children have above & under the water.
Excellent friendly service & outstanding customer care is a must; all staff are CRB checked

Dear Nicky,
We had a bad experience of underwater photography then Focusfirst was recommended to us. Nicky has found a gap in the Market, by being very open & approachable & above all being respectful to the child. This combination works, to create a fun & nurturing experience during the shoot. Children are unpredictable & you have to adapt to each little individual. Thank you also to Clare for her fabulous poolside shots, the fun was certainly captured in abundance.
