Lynsey Stamper is making her mark in the world of photography.

She has launched her new business, Klassy Kaptures, which is based in a converted trailer which features a studio and office.

She said: "It means I can take the photos and print them on site, all in one go."

The 34-year-old, from Cockermouth, has just completed her HND degree in photography at Lakes College, Lillyhall.

The business is the realisation of a long-term ambition for Lynsey.

She said: "It has always been a dream for me.

"I’m a single parent and it is something I have always wanted to do but never had the money for it.

"I have saved up over time to get the equipment."

She thought having a mobile workplace would give her the edge over competition and save on rent, though her new business arrived as a complete surprise.

Her partner Mike Shepherd travelled all the way to Dudley in the West Midlands to pick up the trailer and he carried out all the conversion work.

Lynsey said: "I didn’t know he was getting the trailer.

"When I first thought of the mobile studio, I thought it could be based in a caravan."

The new business is a family affair, with Lynsey’s son, Davey Lee Moore, carrying out the computer work.

He uploads images and processes the orders in the mobile HQ.

Local firms have provided flooring, signage, glue and other equipment needed for the conversion at reduced or no cost.

She has already photographed Distington Vintage Rally and her first major job will be to photograph the Gosforth show on August 20.

She will also be at Egremont Crab Fair in September.
