Rebecca Peake
Tell Us About Yourself!
My name is Rebecca, and I’m from Kent in the UK. I have always loved photos, but when my son was born it became even more important to capture moments, and then I did my first photography course whilst I was on maternity leave with my daughter and have never looked back. I am a proud mother to my son and daughter, and love the outdoors. I run a part time photography business, as well as work as a pensions consultant. Life is certainly busy!
How Would You Describe Your Photography Style?
I find it difficult to describe my own photography, but I’ve begun to realize I am drawn to connection and colours so these are the two words I would use.
What Inspires You To Create?
Being my family’s storyteller. I love to curate a family photo album each year and remember the special moments.
What goals are you hoping to achieve as a Hello Artist?
To take more time for my personal photography and grow my ability and style as much as possible . Photography has become my passion and I never want to stop learning.

Tell Us About Yourself!
I am a mum of two boys, living in Surrey, UK. I built my career working as an international disputes lawyer in London, but I have recently swapped the long hours of city life for time at home with my family. We have lots of woodland in Surrey and I am rarely happier than when I am out walking in them with my husband and boys. I love to travel (with my camera in hand!).
How Would You Describe Your Photography Style?
I primarily take environmental portraits of my children. I love to use colour in my work. I’m a big fan of directional light and low light indoors and natural light bokeh outdoors.
What Inspires You To Create?
My boys are my inspiration. I love to capture our adventures, the things they enjoy and the rhythms of our year. Over the past couple of years I have had more time and space to notice the changing of the seasons and I find myself really drawn to that when I create.
What goals are you hoping to achieve as a Hello Artist?
I’m excited to work with and learn from the wonderful Hello Creative family. I’d like to continue to push myself as a photographer and get to a stage where I am able to help others starting out.

Tell Us About Yourself!
Photography is more to me than something I do it is my passion and integrated into everything! I’m a nature lover and prefer being outdoors to indoors. I prefer dirt, snow, rain and sun to the indoors. I’m a hiker, camper and runner. I prefer runners and flip-flops to heels and wedges. I’ll always choose cozy and comfy over stylish and polished. I’m okay with my makeup being not so perfect and a ponytail. I’m an introvert that prefers a quiet conversation with a friend as opposed to being the life of the party. Coffee in the am tea all day, and a craft (must be craft ) beer or glass of wine in the evening. I’m a book lover who usually only reads psychological thrillers. Well…usually listens to them on Audible because I’m a multi-tasker. My favourite place in the world is on top of a mountain with my camera in hand. My favourite people are my children and my fur baby.
How Would You Describe Your Photography Style?
I embrace technically solid images with a creative edge. My style is simple, colourful, filled with pretty light and full of depth and emotion (usually quiet and peaceful).
What Inspires You To Create?
My children and nature specifically the Canadain Rocky Mountians.
What goals are you hoping to achieve as a Hello Artist?
I’d love to connect with a community and inspire and mentor other photographers (women) to embrace landscape photography.

Deja Engel
Tell Us About Yourself!
I live in the far NW tip of Washington state with my husband and 2 sweet daughters, Sienna (4) and EvieMae (1). We live in a nature lovers paradise between the coast and the North Cascade mountains. I met my husband 11 years ago when he asked me to dance at a concert in Seattle. He is an amazing swing dancer and we used to go dancing multiple times per week before we had kids. I’m a virgo. My favorite color is teal… ALL the shades. I love Italian food and anything with cheese. I began my photography journey about 15 years ago while documenting my travels… I have visited 30+ countries thus far and I was a finalist in Travel Photographer of the Year 13 years ago. My photography has evolved a lot since then… these days I love documenting our daily life… capturing the memorable moments and pretty details
How Would You Describe Your Photography Style?
Vibrant, organic, graceful, timeless, and a touch whimsical.
What Inspires You To Create?
Creativity has been infused into my life from a young age (my mother is an artist and father a musician) and it has continued to evolve throughout my adult life in many forms… starting from being an art major in college, to working as a designer for 10+ years, and also traveling the world. I have always been creating in some form and it is a drive that runs deep. After having babies, motherhood absorbed most all of my time and left me with little time to create, but photography has given me an outlet that can both involve my girls and fulfill my creative needs. My girls are the most beautiful thing in the world to me and are certainly my biggest inspiration. I am also inspired by nature, flowers, music, art, design, dance, antiques, tradition and traveling.
What goals are you hoping to achieve as a Hello Artist?
I would like to continue to connect with the community, and find ways to grow and improve as an artist and a storyteller.

Priya Easwar
Tell Us About Yourself!
When I’m not making colorful tales out of my family’s ordinary and extraordinary moments, I’m a busy homeschooling mum to two adventurous and independent littles, aged 7 and 2. I have a very strong support system in my husband. I enjoy fiction and self help books. I’m quite crafty and have a never ending list of things to make. Traveling is a big part of my family’s life. We love everything Disney and can’t wait to visit all the Disney parks in the world, someday. As Walt Disney said, “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”
How Would You Describe Your Photography Style?
Colors play a significant role in my creatives. I love bold and vibrant tones. I am inspired by light and hues, which help me compose cohesive and compelling stories.
What Inspires You To Create?
Time cannot be stopped, seasons change, babies don’t keep and parents age; I document memories to remember and reminisce. I turn an idea into an experience for me and my subject, and eventually capture that moment to be enjoyed for years to come.
What goals are you hoping to achieve as a Hello Artist?
When it comes to creative arts, there is no ceiling on the techniques one can learn. Creativity is like an axe; an axe that needs to be sharpened all the time in order to cut trees effectively and efficiently. In my brief time being a member at HS, I have learned a lot. I have also been able to offer suggestions to my peers. I am hoping to continue to learn and share knowledge, when possible.
