Hello & lovely to meet you!
I'm a personal brand photographer based in Chester.
I'm a mum of two, married to my best friend, and falling madly in love with my two-year-old puppy.
​
These days I've become a little obsessed with playing paddle tennis (tell me you've heard of it?!), and I'm loving it! I never thought I would be good at any racquet sports, but it just shows the more you practice, the better you get at it...
​
I've also been bitten really really hard by the travel bug, and am always dreaming of holidays in the sun, either by the beach or up on a mountain - I love them both!
​
And I wish I could dance more, sing better and eat chocolate without feeling guilty!
My Superpower
But that's not all. I have a superpower. ​
​
I can make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, so you look more natural and relaxed, and the whole experience of getting a brand shoot with me leaves you feeling excited and ready to be more visible in your business!​​​
​
It wasn't always easy for me either. I was far more comfortable behind the camera!
​
​
Im not a fan of being in front on the camera like so many, but Maira put me at ease. She took the time to find out about me and my business and could therefore bring that into the shoot - AND we had fun!

My Story
I was bullied at school and growing up in a society where fair and light skin were the only measures of beauty, for many years I suffered from a lack of confidence and self-esteem, especially when it came to my physical looks.
​
It was the birth of my daughter (I also call her my secret weapon) which shook me out of this cycle of self-pity and that feeling of not being 'good enough'. I wanted to raise her as a confident and self-assured woman, someone who believed in herself and didn't need that external validation to prove herself to anyone else. And that's why I am on a mission to help other women feel more comfortable and beautiful in their own skin.
​
So whether it's getting over your fear of showing up and being visible, or feeling like you don't look good on camera, I've been there, I know how it feels.
I've created a mini training that can help you feel more confident and relaxed in front of the camera. I've used these tips myself and with my clients, and these will help you too to feel more natural and comfortable in your own skin. ​​
