THIS ISN'T ABOUT LOOKING SEXY. IT'S ABOUT FEELING POWERFUL. 💪✨

An empowerment session is a celebration of YOU. Your body. Your strength. Your story.

Maybe you've overcome something big. Maybe you're reclaiming your confidence. Maybe you just want to see yourself the way others see you—beautiful, capable, worthy.

We'll talk through your story. There's space for vulnerability AND laughter. We'll focus on connection, not perfection. And when you see your gallery, you won't just see beautiful images—you'll see yourself reflected back with the power and grace you've always had.

This is about reclaiming something deeply personal and sacred.

Ready to celebrate yourself? Let's create something that makes you feel unstoppable. DM to chat 🔥

Who else thinks they are not photogenic?

You would be amazed how many of my 40/40 Project ladies say exactly that before their session. Sound familiar?

Here's the thing. Nothing magical happens. We take our time, play with the styling, and I guide every pose so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands. Before long, the nerves melt away and you are standing tall and owning the room.

That is what the 40/40 Project is all about. 40 women over 40, each seen, celebrated and given portraits that feel like her.

There are still spaces left. If you have been thinking about it, or you know someone who deserves this, send me a message and let's have a chat. No pressure at all.

A note on sharing: I only ever share client images with permission, because the people in my photographs matter to me.

Half term for me means a lot of tea and a lot of editing!

I spent two days at a school this week and I am now working my way through some absolutely gorgeous images. Every child has their own little spark, and it's such a joy to bring that out in the edit.

I just love seeing their little personalities shine through, and making them laugh is honestly my favourite part of the day.

Did you know I do schools? Lots of people don't!

A quick note on the photos here: I don't usually share school images, because protecting children's identities matters so much to me. The pictures you can see have all been approved by parents. I take protecting your little ones very seriously indeed.

If you work at a school, or you're a parent or governor who thinks your school might love something a bit more relaxed and a bit more special than the usual school photo day, I'd love to hear from you. Pop me a message and we can have a no-pressure chat about what would work for your school.

Right, back to the editing...

When someone comes back for more, you know you have done something right 📸

Claire is one of my 40/40 Project ladies, and when she saw her portraits she loved them so much that she booked herself straight back in for headshots too. I absolutely love it when that happens.

She wanted professional headshots that were warm, approachable, and versatile enough to cover all angles of her professional life. So that is exactly what we created.

We built three completely different looks together, all here in my own private purpose-built studio. It has its own dedicated dressing area, so she could change and restyle between looks in complete comfort. Different backdrops, lighting from bright and airy to shadowy and dramatic, hair up and down, with glasses and without. A full headshot collection she can reach for no matter the occasion.

LinkedIn, her website, speaker bios, press features... she is covered.

She loves them. I love them. Win win!

If you are thinking about professional headshots, drop me a message and I would love to chat.

I've been having the best catch-ups lately, and spending time with Gemma from Mindset HR was genuinely one of my favourites.

Something brilliant is coming to her brand and while it's her news to share in her own time, these images give you a little taster of what's ahead for her.

They're also the perfect example of what an Environmental Content Session actually is.

It's a one-hour shoot at your workplace or a location that feels like you. Not a studio with a plain backdrop. Somewhere real, somewhere that reflects who you are and what you do. And in that single hour, you walk away with a library of 150+ fully edited brand images ready to use across your social media, website, emails, blogs and everything else.

No more scrolling through your phone looking for something half decent. No more stock photos that could belong to absolutely anyone.

Real locations do something a studio backdrop simply can't. They tell your brand story. They show your personality. They give you proper variety: different spaces, different angles, different outfits and moods, all from one session. And because you're shooting somewhere familiar, the whole thing feels more relaxed and natural, which always comes through in the images.

The result is a full content library that looks authentically like YOUR business. Consistent, professional, specific to you. That kind of imagery builds trust with your audience in a way that generic or stock images never will.

I have one spot left at the introductory price of £250 (usually £395). Once it's gone, it's gone.

Drop me a message to grab it before it goes!

Today I want to take a moment to wish the happiest of birthdays to my absolute rock.

For every client I photograph, there is this man quietly running in the background, making it all possible. He helps collect and make props, takes the girls to school, looks after the house when I'm up at the crack of dawn heading to another county, and has built me the most beautiful studio space so every one of my clients has a safe and cosy place to relax and just be themselves.

He never asks for recognition. He just shows up, every single time.

He allows me to be me. To follow my passion for photography. To be the best person I can be. And without him, none of this would exist.

Today he turns 40, and I thought this image absolutely deserved to be shared. Happy birthday, my love. I couldn't do any of this without you. 📸 x

When a new team member joins, it is the perfect excuse to update that team headshot! 📸

I have been working with the brilliant team at SMASH Marketing for a while now, and it is always such a joy to go back and update their headshots. They are an absolutely lovely bunch - and pretty good at what they do too (seriously, if you need SEO help, they are the ones to call!).

This time around we were welcoming Victoria to the team - and does she not look absolutely fab? That smile is everything.

Keeping your team imagery current is so much more important than people realise. When a new face joins your business, having fresh, consistent headshots across your website and social profiles just makes everything feel cohesive and professional. It shows you are a team that takes pride in how you present yourselves.

If your team has grown recently - or if your current headshots are looking a little dated - I would love to help. Drop me a message and we can chat about what would work best for you.

There is something truly magical about photographing dogs in autumn. 🍂

The warm, golden tones of the season create the most breathtaking backdrop for fine art pet portraits - and this gorgeous Jack Russell is absolute proof of that.

Those earthy browns and soft, misty bokeh... it just makes everything feel timeless and painterly. This is exactly why autumn is one of my favourite times of year to pick up my camera and head outdoors with your four-legged family members.

A fine art pet portrait session is a beautiful way to capture your dog at their very best - the kind of image you frame and treasure for years to come. Not just a snapshot, but a proper piece of art that celebrates the personality and soul of your beloved companion.

If you have been thinking about booking a portrait session for your dog, autumn really is the most stunning time to do it. The light is soft, the colours are incredible, and the results... well, you can see for yourself.

Sessions are available now across Norwich and Norfolk. Drop me a message or click the link below to find out more.
