The ambitious director said: “I’m really pleased with how well the business is doing and due to the amazing growth we’ve experienced over the last six months, we’ve been able to expand the team, which is fantastic.

“We’ve employed Ashleigh and Tamsin because they are as enthusiastic about photography as I am; I know they will help us to keep growing.”

The new employees bring the all-female team up to six, who together have over 70 years’ experience in photography, with Jane’s mum, Ann Simmons, having established the business 34 years ago.

Ashleigh Bell, who completed her Fashion and Photography degree at Southampton Solent University, is excited to be a part of the team and hopes her fashion background will add to Camera A’s services.

“I love photography and I really want to incorporate modern concepts I learned at University and adapt them within studio photography,” said the passionate photographer.

“Camera A is one of the best wedding photographers in the area and I knew I had found the right job as soon as I met the team, as they are clearly passionate about what they do.”

Tamsin Wood, who studied an Art Photography course at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, is eager to get involved with as many projects as she can.

The talented, young apprentice said: “It’s a fantastic opportunity for me to combine real work and learning into my apprenticeship and I’m really looking forward to working with the photographers and gaining as much experience as I can.”

Camera A is on track for a record year and Jane is planning to further develop the business by building relationships with local hotels and enhancing the team’s skills by enrolling them on courses.

She added: “Camera A’s success is due to our effective, forward thinking team and our excellent customer service.
