Many people were overjoyed when the winning goal was scored for England.

The photographer for the Lionesses panicked.

She might have captured the moment. She might have missed the goal. Is she in the right place?

She didn't need to worry. The picture of Kelly swinging her shirt around her head appeared on the front and back pages of national newspapers the next day.

During the Lionesses' record-breaking run to the European title, CAMERON spent every day with the team.

"Any time I spent with the girls was special," said Cameron, who began working for the Football Association in an official capacity. They allowed me to be in those moments and capture it.

I don't think you can purchase that bond. People didn't know who the Lionesses were before, so I wanted a personal photographer for them.

They were able to walk past them and not recognize them. I wanted to show their personality and dedication.

In her own words, she talks about her memories of the summer and how she picked out her favourite photos of the tournament.

1) Chloe Kelly's iconic goal celebration

panic was the first thing that came to my mind. This is the biggest moment in women's football in this country, so I was wondering if I got the chance. It was calm in the stadium. The whistle went to confirm that the goal had been scored, and the girl ran.

She ran to the bench with everyone else. A group of people were sitting next to the bench. I would always choose the bench if I could because the players go to that spot every time.

She should have taken off her top. The moment should be celebrated by her. I'm happy she did.

You smile when you see that photo. The goal was the winning one.

She said her brothers were doing the same celebration in the stands after taking their tops off.

2) England captain Williamson sings 'Sweet Caroline'

England defeated Norway in the group stages of the tournament. The captain of England came over to me and said "So good, so good, so good" while SweetCaroline played.

It was a very special time for me. The atmosphere swept everyone along. It was powered by electricity. There was a connection between the players and the fans. It was not the same as before. The way people reacted to the players was similar to how they would react to a premier league star.

At our games, there was a song on the radio. Everybody started bouncing after 'SweetCaroline' came on. They could celebrate with their fans if someone put the song on later.

3) The bench for the final

I love training the day after a match. The people who didn't start would work out. Everybody was happy to be there, that's why it was so special. On those days, they probably trained as hard as possible.

I like to get a picture of the bench before the game because we spent a lot of time together. I felt like I was included.

The funniest thing about this one is that the man is so concerned. She is happy. I didn't notice that at the time. Afterwards, she pointed it out to me. She thought this could be her last match. It is more obvious now.

4) Angels on the Wembley turf

There was a lot of stuff on the ground and a few of the players decided to run and slide.

They all started running and I was miles behind because I couldn't run as fast as them.

They were laughing when I arrived. We could do snow angels.

The confetti was thrown in the air. The picture was authentic and you couldn't make it better. They were very happy in that moment.

5) Reading the back pages as European champions

After the final, we went back to the hotel. Suddenly, it was the morning. It felt like we weren't given enough time. The players did not want to sleep.

I took the papers back to the hotel. England won the Euros on the front and back pages of newspapers. I felt a strong emotion.

I wanted to take a picture with the captain and the trophy. The other players had just come over to read them after I found her.

They came down to breakfast in their medals. It was honest. They began to read the papers that were in a pile. I told them that I needed them to get the picture with the girl.
