    Who...

    Clare Gelderd, that's me!

    Cumbria
    born and bred, country lass who loves being outside.

    Very much a down to earth photographer that is always 'keeping it real'. Slipping in a few tasteful swear words where applicable, because honest people do that sh*t.

    I don't lack energy and enthusiasm, I wholeheartedly love making others laugh and helping others be successful!

    A spade,
    is a spade, not a shovel, and not a glitter embellished spade either. What you see is what you get. 'Straight in every aspect of the word' Clares friend 2020.

    I am NOT AN AWARD WINNING photographer!
    I am a barrel of laughs though, sometimes wo-man of the match when I play rugby, gathered up a number of 1st places whilst presenting and handling livestock, run my own successful business since I was 18, oh and still single

    An adventurous, outdoorsy, Northern, rugby playing lass, with farming in my blood and a wild creative flare. I identify as a hilerious Legend, and crazy*.

    *'Life isn't about being perfect, it's about being so rediculously passionate that people think you are a little crazy.'
