Meet our Team
We like to think we are a friendly bunch here at Venture Derby; at least that is what our client's keep telling us!

We are passionate about what we do and enjoy working with our client's to create a truely unforgettable an unique experience.

Tony and Caroline- Directors and Owners of Venture Derby

Tony has been here from the very start. He loves seeing our clients enjoy themselves in the studio and the delight in their finished products! He appreciates just how amazing a Venture experience is from coming in himself with his family. We would describe him as friendly, enthusiastic and a bit of a rocker! Caroline on the other hand is the feisty one, and unpredictable like Amy Winehouse! She loves meeting the different families that we have at the studio, she joined the Venture Derby team about 3 and half years ago, Caroline knows how to keep us all organised!

Dave- Digital Artist

Dave has been with Venture forever; you must remember that the only way Dave will cooperate is if you make him a cup of tea first! He is the grumpy but loveable one. Dave is the master of computer technology. Unfortunately on the day of taking the Photographs for this website we forgot to make Dave a cup of tea!!

Our Bookings Team

Rachel- Bookings Advisor 

Rachel has worked for Venture on and off for 5 years- she keeps leaving to have babies! We would describe Rach as very funny, loud and feisty! She loves working here chatting to different people and socialising- she organises all of our team events- including our recent ghost walk! She is Keith Lemon without the ginger hair!

 Beki- Photographer and Pre-viewer

Beki has been with Venture Derby for about 6 months, she is a big traveller, always feeling positive and energetic she knows how to get the kids excited running around the studio and its especially rewarding for Beki during the session when client’s have been apprehensive about it but ended up loving it! If only she could remember everyone’s names!

Sally- Photographer and Pre-viewer

Sally has been at Venture Derby for 3 and a half years, it’s her job to make sure that everyone is made aware of all of the Venture Gossip and News. She is the organiser and you can hear her laugh a mile away! She loves to see the different items that people bring along to there session- favourite being a mountain of chocolate, but not so keen on the bananas- scary stuff!

Stacey- Photographer and Sales Manager

Stacey is another long-standing member of the team- having been here for over 5 years. She is amazingly witty, talented and beautiful but often prone to exaggeration!!

Paul- Photographer/Pre-viewer

We would all describe him as fun, and loved. He has no shame and his most memorable Venture Experience involves a tarantula, a Lizard, 2 cats and Grandma! Brilliant!
