Josie Gritten
Hailing from the mountain valleys of Snowdonia in North Wales, Josie grew up roaming the fields, hills and fairy-filled woods with her brother and sisters.
Josie took up photography because she felt that her younger sister was better at drawing than she was. The first photo she took was of her mum and brother in the sandpit. It was blurred and had only half their heads but a love of photography was born. In secondary school, at the age of 15, she was given her first photographic assignment - 'A day in the life of a milk bottle.' And 25 years, a photography degree, a husband and three kids later she is still going strong!
Over the years Josie has photographed bands, babies, births, bump, bodies, ballet, brides, boys (and girls), beautiful places, blessings and baking and she loves it!
"I am finding, more and more, that my work reflects my joy of storytelling - lives, loves, raw heartfelt moments - these are what I draw out, these are what create the glorious wonderment of our lives."
Josie specialises in weaving stories within child portraiture, family photography and also has a passion for food and product shoots. "I shoot in a raw, homely style- think less cheesy camera smiles and more guffaws of laughter with kids piled on top of Mum and Dad. Close ups of pudgy grazed knees and that adorable bit at the back of a baby's neck that you can't resist nibbling every time you see it."
