I was honoured at the end of last year to take photographs for Francesca Baker of And So She Thinks. Beginning like all great things, it started with a coffee before several photographs in Eleto Chocolate Cafe, Folkestone, and a wander through Folkestone’s full festive garb. It was also the second time I got to let my new camera loose.
Francesca is involved with great organisations like The Margate Bookie and does a lot for poetry and wellbeing in Kent, running events and workshops. On top of this she is an adept and diverse writer and freelancer, helping lots of organisations express themselves through the content creation and social media!
“Everything I do comes from my core values – communication, connection, curiosity and creativity. And So She Thinks is me, my passions, my skills, and my plans; a place to share my thoughts and the things that I discover.
I’m an NCTJ trained journalist, and through freelance journalism, radio and podcasting, creative writing and more the focus of my work is telling the story of things that excite me. I’ve written for TNT, The Establishment, State of the Arts, Le Cool, Mature Times, Adios Barbie and more. I run creative writing workshops, which you can book here, and work as an editor for authors in health and psychology.”
