I am lucky enough to live and work between two stunning Counties, Dorset and Somerset. I love my job as a professional photographer, not just because I get to meet some lovely people, but it also brings me the diversity of work that I love. Being a professional photographer enables me to provide high quality creative photography and also great customer service.
These are two of the main things that I am passionate about. I also believe that personal recommendations are the best form of advertising. You will find just a few of the lovely comments from clients about my services as their photographer, in 'Testimonials'. My father was an artist and I have definitely inherited his eye for colour and balance in a composition, which enables me to see things in a creative way through the lens of the camera.

I have always believed that recommendations are the very best form of advertising. So here are some of the lovely things clients have said about me and Sturgess Mills Photography. From the very beginning she put me and my extremely camera shy husband at ease. She seemed to be everywhere at once, totally unobtrusive but having a giggle with all the guests.
I have been a successful Wedding Photographer for over 20 years, offering a friendly, professional approach to your special day. My aim is to make sure you both enjoy having me around as your photographer. I like to work in a relaxed unobtrusive way, with gentle humour and making sure your family and guests feel included too.
I offer a relaxed professional portrait experience. My main aim is to make your time in front of the camera as easy as possible, so I allow my subjects and especially children, time to settle with me. I believe the way to get the best from any portrait shoot, is by helping my clients to relax, have fun and enjoy the session, so I will never rush you.
I have a relaxed and calm approach with pet portraiture, as I find this approach works very well with all animal and pet photography. I am patient and comfortable around animals of all types, temperaments and sizes.
Having spent many years with horses, farm animals and owning my own horses dogs and cats, plus a plethora of rescued creatures over the years, I am able to capture the essence of your pet by encouraging play and letting them relax around me.Once they are happy with me and the camera and without rushing things, I know I will get the perfect portrait.

Josie took beautiful photos of my two children.
They really are smashing and went down very well with the grandparents at Christmas.
During the photo shoot Josie was extremely kind and patient towards my daughter and son.
We had half an hour with her which was plenty of time for the children, Josie did so well to capture the lovely photos in such a short space of time.
I would definitely recommend 😊

Josie was our wedding photographer at Brightwell Vineyard on the 1st September. From the very beginning she put me and my extremely camera shy husband at ease. She seemed to be everywhere at once, totally unobtrusive but having a giggle with all the guests. She delt with our wayward families with professional ease and was so patient and good humoured as she wrangled all our guests into group photos. (We had extremely unruly guests!) And in amongst the pretty pictures and family groups she's managed to slip in some incredible artistic shots. Absolutely stunning eye for lighting and depth. I COULD

Josie photographed our wedding at Sherborne Castle, Dorset, and we can't recommend her enough.
From start to finish she was absolutely wonderful. Neither of us are particularly comfortable being in front of the camera, but she made us feel so relaxed. She was great at arranging the group shots and got some amazing candid shots without feeling like she was in the way.
Cannot recommend enough.

I had some photos taken by Josie of my teenage daughters. From the start she listened to my requests and preferences and during the shoot she made the girls feel extremely comfortable and relaxed, getting the very best from them. The whole family is delighted with the results and I can thoroughly recommend Josie.
