This is the first time!

The very first time …. Katharine enjoys the opportunity of being photographed professionally in my home studio, hidden away in Ryde. She experiences the giddy, tummy tingling excitement of seeing her elegant photos on the back of the camera – a life changing experience.

Why did she wait so long? Life has a nasty habit of getting in the way – deadlines, commitments, finances and fear. So I asked her, was it worth the wait?

The minute she walks through the door with mum, Katharine is invited to dive straight into her bag and sift through her outfit choices. The first thing we do is prepare to get excited styling your outfits with matching backdrops. Advice, support and broad smiles with twinkling eyes help you reclaim your confidence and determination to capture your best photos ever.

Within moments of stepping into my Living Room studio, I was able to remove Katharine’s first time jitters and self-conscious postures, giving her natural, expressive and elegant portraits that open doors for her dancing and acting auditions.

Remember, you can book your own mini head shot session and then use my welcome guides to help you prepare over the next 3 months (I’m booked through to January 2018).

Easy-going, relaxed, deserving … act now.

The answers obvious – motherhood isn’t just about cooking chef-like meals or keeping a tidy house. It’s about love; feeling the heartbeat of the person you’re raising; unconditional love forever.

By nurturing your little one, by sharing your life experiences, you set them on the path to happiness and resilience. [Read more…]

Here’s my ode to Holly. She’s da bomb.

What I really mean, is that she’s really, really good at what she does.

After reading my glorious review from a fellow photographer, I thought I’d share some behind the scene pictures to explain why I admire Holly so much.

 I cannot begin to thank Amanda enough. She was brilliant from start to finish and I absolutely love the photos she took of me. If you’re thinking of having a session with her, just do it – You will not regret it!

Isle of Wight Makeover Experience

There are lots of photographers I admire, and Holly is one of them. You can see her wedding portfolio here LINK. Some people might wonder about my sanity, why would I invite a fellow photographer to my house to take part in my Livingroom Portrait Series?

Simply put, I like Holly. A lot. I’ve stalked followed her on social media for quite some time: I’ve sent her well wishes for her marriage; supported her through fitness goals and applauded her successful photography business.   [Read more…]
