In Pursuit of Portraits

Having your photo taken can feel daunting. I am here to reassure you that there is nothing more important to me when taking photographs than making sure you feel safe, happy and comfortable in your own skin. Before I even attempt to shove a camera in your face we will start the shoot with a sit down and a chat about what you desire from your images. I believe getting to know you is just as important as knowing how to take the perfect photograph; more often than not, the most brilliantly captivating images only occur if you are truly yourself for a moment. This can mean playing your favourite songs in the background, telling you my best-worst jokes to get that candid laugh or, if outdoors, simply jumping up and down with you between shots to keep warm. All chosen images are then edited and retouched by me personally. My studio is a safe and welcoming environment and I pride myself on my desire to collaborate creatively with each of you. Skin that looks like skin. Portraits for the multi-hyphenate; the 'Slash Artist'. Photographing headshots for creative souls and editorial imagery for website rebrands and social media. ​I pride myself on taking pictures that look and feel like the real you, to celebrate all that you are. Each shoot is tailored to the individual and can be shot in a studio or on location.
