Portrait sessions with me are relaxed, collaborative, and (believe it or not) actually fun. My goal is to help you feel completely at ease: we’ll have a chat ahead of the session, and make sure we give you a chance to explore how you want to be seen. I’m inspired by art, atmosphere, and those in-between moments that feel a little bit magical. Whether you’re after something bold, soft, moody or mythic, we’ll work together to create portraits that feel like you—with a little extra drama in the best way.

“You’re amazing at getting people (me) to relax more behind the camera. I hate having my photo taken and I’m always hyper aware of the camera, so thank you for making it easier and enjoyable for me.”

FAQs
How does a photoshoot work?
Whether you’re a seasoned pro looking for a refresh, or it’s your first time stepping in front of the camera, the process is designed to be as easy and, hopefully, fun, as possible!
To start, just pop me an email with a rough outline of what you have in mind and any deadlines you have. We’ll find a time and place that works for us (I can provide guidance on where would be best), and we can share inspiration to make sure we capture exactly what you want.
Then, the day itself! I find 90 minutes is the perfect window to allow us to meet, chat and relax into the shoot. It normally gives us time for a lovely range of photos (and some outfit changes too) without feeling rushed or being long enough to start the smile muscles aching.
However, if you’ve got a time limit, or we want to try a different location nearby, there’s flexibility built in to allow this. My priority here is to help you relax, and feel at ease if you’re not normally in front of the camera.
When will I get the photos?
Within two weeks of our photoshoot, I’ll share across all your final edited images via a download link, with my top three attached. I try and provide 10-15 images, depending on how many different locations we visited or styles we used.
If there are any editing changes (e.g. a handful of your favourites in black and white instead of colour), just let me know and we’ll get that sorted quickly!
How much does it cost?
This depends on what if you want to shoot indoor or at a studio, and how long you want the shoot to be. Roughly, it’ll be about £275 for outdoor shoots, and £325 for indoor (to cover the extra cost of the studio).
