I’m Ros,
Founder of Her Narrative,
and I document life as it’s really lived
"I believe deeply in memory. I want to preserve your ordinary life because it is beautiful."
"These days, photography feels less like making images and more like keeping time. Over the years, I’ve realised I’m less interested in creating beautiful photographs, I’m more interested in helping people remember their life through my photographs."
This is not for everyone.
"My sessions are fully unobtrusive. I won’t pose or direct you, nor will I ask you to repeat anything. I follow the rhythm of your day. I’m essentially documenting your life as it’s really lived."
So much of what we experience in life may feel ordinary while we’re living it, but that’s the whole point. Photography, to me, is a way of preserving life. Not by altering and definitely not through recreating them. But by being present enough to recognise how there is something beautiful in the ordinary. I don’t believe every meaningful photograph needs to be arranged or planned. Sometimes it already exists within us: Presence and someone to take notice. If a photograph can bring someone back to a feeling. then I believe I have fulfilled my purpose as a photographer.
WHAT I OFFER:
I photograph two things. Weddings, and family.
Both ask for the same thing from me: to stay present, and to preserve the memory of your life.
WEDDINGS:
I work alongside your main photographer, where I document everything that happens around the day. The moments between moments. I’m not there to direct or recreate. I’m there to notice.
FAMILY:
I come into your home, or wherever your family feels most like themselves, and document the day as it unfolds. Because I don’t believe everyday life is something we should wait to miss before we think it’s worth remembering.
Experience: 12 years
What I notice most on a wedding day?
It’s rarely the ceremony itself. My attention always drifts to the people around it. The families. The friends.
I’m interested in how people love when they forget they’re being watched. Those are the moments I find myself returning to.
What makes a photo meaningful to me?
I’ve come to realise that meaning isn’t something I create. It’s already there. My job is simply to notice it before it’s gone. Sometimes that’s where the story quietly lives. I hope my photographs help you remember how it felt.
If they can bring you back to that feeling years from now, then I think it becomes meaningful and I have fulfilled my purpose.
How I approach moments I didn’t plan for?
Before a wedding begins, I take time to understand the people behind it. The relationships and the family dynamics. I believe it is important. It allows me to recognise the moments before they happen. And through that, I am then able to be ready to receive them when they arrive.
How I want my clients to feel when they see their photos?
I want them to feel love; to be transported back to the day as if time folded on itself. I hope that when they look at their photos years from now, they’ll remember how it all felt. I want them to think, yes, that’s what happened, that’s how it truly was. And in that, the photos become more than images, they become memory itself
"I find myself drawn to the quiet moments, the ones people often overlook. The kind that doesn’t interrupt moments, but honours them. If you’re ready to walk into the unknown, I’m already there, waiting for you."
