A Devon photographer has won a top prize in the Muddy Stiletto Awards 2017.

Claire Tregaskis, based in Ivybridge, won the best photographer category in the highly contested Muddy Stiletto Awards.

Claire has been a professional photographer for 13 years, beginning in the industry as a photojournalist before specialising in wedding and portrait photography.

Muddy Stilettos was founded in 2012, in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, where its founder, Hero Brown was struggling to find things to do in the area. She decided to carry out research herself, finding events to attend and places to visit, alongside searching out the most unique and interesting lifestyle businesses, and so, the blog was born.

The aim was simply to write a local guide for the very best restaurants, walks, boutiques, day trips, hotels, interiors and events. Four years on, and Muddy Stilettos is now in 17 countries with over 150,000 readers.
