Camera Confidence – & why you shouldn’t be afraid of getting your photo taken I’ve heard it before: You don’t like having your photo taken So I thought I’d share my experience of being in front of a camera. It’s common for many people to say they don’t like their photo being taken, but I’m here to change that!⁠ At some stage, our perception of ourselves change.

powerful Black and White Portraits Black and white portraits are timeless, no matter what the genre. Black and white photographs always seem timeless. I’d say that’s because of the history of photography, and traditional photography developed black and white results. And while photography moved into colour, and now digital, there is still so much power in a black and white portrait. People still love black and white family photos, and they certainly look great framed on the wall in a […]

You can really see how much they adore each other, and witnessing their sibling love in our fine art photoshoot session was really quite amazing. What was extra special about these two was their natural tendencies to support each other. Encouraging words, smiles and making each other laugh. While Monet was a little bit unsure at first about having all […]

She brought along her stunning Tutu, blue which was perfect to compliment her eyes too. I styled this shoot to be darker, moodier and creatively lit. There’s both contrast and softness. Annabelle has become a real focus, and her ability to relax and portray soft, serene and […]
