ABOUT ME


After travelling for 12 years to various parts of the globe and developing a taste for photography from international inspirations,
I decided to return to college in London. This is where I received 4 distinctions in Photography itself and post-production.
I currently have over 15 years in the photography industry and showing no signs of slowing down. My passion for the industry is stronger than ever.

TESTIMONIALS

Majella works to a phenomenally high standard, with one of the most creative sets of eyes I know. I have recommended her services multiple times to chefs, restaurants and hotels – the work she produces for them is fantastic.
Founder at LJ People
Majella is a delight to work with, as part of my role as Head of Marketing for Fairfax Meadow and Fairfax London I have been to some of her London Kitchen Social events. The events are terrific fun, high energy and her photography output is excellent.
Since then I have worked with Majella for one of my other clients, Premier Fish, where she was asked to create some bespoke recipe dishes with supporting photography. I am really happy with the end result which we have been able to use across multiple marketing channels.
Majella is great to work with, professional, talented, a good communicator and fun! And that’s important because food, in my opinion, should always (where possible) be joyous!
Michelle Dalley
Founder at Umami Design For Food

I was very pleased when asked to write about Majella from Pavlova and Cream, because I finally have a platform where I can tell people how talented she truly is.
I met Majella through a chef I’ve admired for a number of years: Martyn Meid. I liked a few of his dishes on social media that she had photographed. Soon after I was messaged by Majella thanking me for the support, a sign of just how genuinely nice she is.
Soon after we arranged the first of our now many photo shoots. I don’t mind saying I was very nervous, but when meeting for the first time she made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I have always been very impressed with not only her photography skills but her attitude to the whole shoot and attention to detail.
I owe Majella a lot due to the results of our last collaboration together. Her amazing shots of my dishes landed me the job as Sous chef at Auberge du lac.
I highly recommend Pavlova and Cream highly for anyone that is looking for eye catching and beautiful photography.

I’m always truly surprised when I see her photographs. They are really my dishes!

Head Chef Anglo Farringdon

I have found working with Majella a very pleasurable experience. On first meeting Majella I found her very bubbly and enthusiastic in her approach,  and you automatically get the impression that this lady is fully dedicated to her profession. Very engaging and gets you involved with the work and pictures she is taking, because she has a tremendous love of food and a great understanding of the chef life, this in return reflects in the great images she produces.
An all round nice lady with a warm heart. Can’t wait to work with her again.
Darryl Collins
Head of Pastry

Majella’s passion for her work is infectious, she brought so much energy and professionalism to shoot our menu, Majella went above and beyond to achieve and meet our needs as a client. I would highly recommend Pavlova&Cream especially if you are looking for a photographer that has a great attitude and a fantastic eye for detail.

I was tasked with updating the website food pictures for our restaurant The Painted Heron and was fortunate to have Majella recommended to me.
From our initial contact through to the day of the shoot Majella proved herself to be extremely personable, professional and most importantly she “got” what we were looking for.
I then hired her again to take some pictures of cocktails for our new drinks menu and her interpretation was brilliant! Her rates are extremely competitive and it was a pleasure towork with her.

I cannot recommend her enough!”
