My photography journey began back in 2010, when I returned to education to study photography and learn more about my dad’s DSLR camera. That path led me to a degree in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography. While the intense study left me a little burnt out, the passion never left.

In 2021, I picked up my camera again and I haven’t looked back since.

I now primarily photograph fitness events. As a CrossFitter myself, I understand the energy, effort, and sense of community that make these events so special. I love capturing not just the action, but also the atmosphere and the people who bring it all to life. I’ve added videography to my skill set, so I can offer highlight reels alongside photography packages.

In 2024, I launched Moments by Claire Cooper. Weddings have now become a huge part of photography that I love. I offer a candid, documentary-style approach that focuses on real unposed moments but am comfortable to help prompt and pose for couple and group shots. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera, so every wedding includes a pre-shoot. Couple’s have often used these photo’s for their invites and it just ensures we can work together on the day without any awkwardness.

I also absolutely love working with families and couples. Whether it’s a relaxed session at home, a golden-hour walk through the woods, or a fun day out with the kids, my approach to family photography is all about capturing real moments; laughter, connection, and the unique chaos that makes your family yours. These shoots are relaxed and pressure-free, designed to make everyone feel comfortable and to let your personalities shine through.

I'm always open to new projects. Whether you're a business, a brand, or a creative project I haven’t worked with before, feel free to get in touch. We can chat about how we might work together!
