Mrs Hargreaves has been into photography since she was a teenager but it was the sad loss of her father, Horbury businessman Bob Hammerton, that probably pushed her into taking it further. She added: “I needed something new to concentrate on. After attending my cousin’s wedding - where I took some lovely photos of them, even though I wasn’t the official photographer - I kept getting asked why I didn’t take this up professionally. So I then embarked on several wedding and newborn photography courses and joined the Guild of Photographers.”
