My mother was a very keen photographer, as was her mother and her mother's mother. During the 1920s and 1930s she had her own Portrait Studio in Croydon and became well known both nationally and internationally. She continued to work under her maiden name after her marriage with my father in 1931.
She had been Madame Yevonde's pupil in London's Mayfair before she set up on her own, and maintained close links with Madame Yevonde for many years.
