Portrait Photography, Isle of Wight
so let’s rock’n’roll with these embellishments
Looking fabulous isn’t limited to trends. The way you plan your choices plays a vital role in looking elegant and style. It’s surprisingly easy to work a little taste of the trend into your wardrobe. Either way, you’re about to enjoy your portrait experience and be the reigning queen of style.

If your heart keeps telling you to make a decision that you wouldn’t normally even consider, try to find the meaning behind it! Listen to it!
Hesitancy whispers,
“I don’t look good in photographs”
“I don’t photograph well”
“I don’t know what happens”
“I’m too busy” [Read more…]
Alicia is like a magician, with a flourish she draws on her lively personality to produce portraits that are engaging and her magic box of tricks bursts with experience and creativity. These portraits transport me straight to a timeless age where women are appreciated for their intelligence and confidence. [Read more…]
Celebrating my birthday with new studio toys, I asked Krista to take a chance and play with me exploring hard light and fashion style.
Okay, I’ll be honest, the truth is it was a bit of a struggle. My camera was so cold from being in storage through the winter months the lens fogged over for most of the session. Huge thanks to the studio for loaning me a similar lens.
True to form, the soft box fell off nearly hitting Jasmine and my arms were shaking every time I picked up my camera because I’d over trained my muscles with the barbell that morning.
But we did it. In just a few hours, our portrait session was over and we won’t be back together again for quite some time. Not using this style anyway.
It’s hard to start photographing models without a plan.
Experienced and amateur photographers alike need a plan.
Models need a plan.
And that’s why I share my shoot plans especially for fellow photographers like you. See my last behind the scenes post from 2019.
My sessions are easy to enjoy, fun, engaging, slightly exhausting, and incredibly supportive. My plans are virtually fool-proof. And easy to follow.
I’ve spent an insane amount of time (hours, days, months, years) harnessing my craft and I enjoy sharing it with others because I get too much pleasuring from my hobby. I want to inspire the same in you.
Plus, as I’ve shared before, I love supporting fellow creatives.
If you have a question about today’s photographs, are you going to finally reach out and ask your questions?

We’re well into 2020 and it’s time for me to recognise the changes in my life.
No matter how busy life is, how much doubt we harbour, and how much we want to press a big, red button to transform our lives, the comfort of failure often shadow us.
So today’s post is to remind myself, and everyone who finds themselves reading this blog, to think about something you want to ‘fix’ in your life.
Because no matter how many hurdles seem to undo all your best intentions, change can truly happen.
We just need to reset our negative self-talk.
I learnt photography whilst working and travelling throughout Asia and a travel guide suggested, “The one regret is the photograph you didn’t take”. Like an echo, this reminder often nurtured my courage to turn around and ask a local market seller if I could take their photograph.
So my wish for 2020 is that we stop listening to our fears and doubts. They’re no fun.
They’ll kill your dreams and hold you back. You’ll be frozen in stasis for far too long and then you’ll punish yourself for not finding the courage to change your ways.
I pour my heart and soul into every portrait session because I know what it’s like trying to find the confidence to love yourself, worrying about what to wear on a portrait session, and feeling exposed because you’ve never done any kind of photoshoot before and not feeling sure about what to expect (do you do your own hair, makeup & outfits).
So if you’re enjoying these creative portraits taken in my Ryde home with Quinn during her Christmas visit to the Isle of Wight, get in touch because I’m going to guide you step by step and explain everything you need to know to create beautiful portraits that shine with your confidence and energy.
