      Photographer for everyday, modern women. I create stunning, magazine inspired portraits for women of all ages. As a body positivity advocate, I empower women to feel beautiful & confident, I see natural, individual beauty & capture stunning portraits. I want women to be seen, celebrated, empowered & to feel confident at every stage of their lives. Womanhood is a beautiful & transformative journey, I believe that Portrait & Boudoir Photography is more than just beautiful photos, it’s about taking your power back & reconnecting with your inner goddess by embracing your true self. My style is minimalist, chic & modern, I don’t go for over-stylised, dramatic sets, my signature style is a timeless, classic look with black, charcoal or white backdrops and creative studio lighting that flatters and puts the focus on you. I shine a light on the power & beauty of women & build confidence, one woman at a time. Show less
