We create imagery by making each of our clients not just look, but feel unapologetically beautiful just as they are. So often we hear that "I hate having my picture taken." or, "I'm just not photogenic. I look terrible in pictures." Lucky for you, Claire is highly skilled in posing and direction. ‘It is my job to coach you from pose to pose to ensure that the only thing that shines through in your pictures is you and your personality. Remember, there is no such thing as being photogenic.”

Our core belief is that beauty exists in everyone and our job is to provide you with tangible proof via photographs. Our promise to you is a fun and luxurious experience with the most beautiful photos you have ever seen of yourself. Our talented team will style your hair and makeup so you look as good as you feel.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

TESTIMONIALS

“Incredible experience”

“The whole experience with Claire was incredible from start to finish. I knew I wanted a Mummy-To-Be shoot as I hadn’t had one with my first and wanted to capture that special moment.

I’ve never been photographed in this way before, so used to taking a selfie and using filters so I was a bit anxious as to how it was going to turn out. on the day Claire made me feel really relaxed, knew the best positions, lighting and everything and when I then saw the photos, WOW. I literally felt incredible.

Everyone I have shown them to just think they are incredible. so thanks to Claire for capturing that special moment for me and I’ll be back soon!”

“Beautiful memories”

“Claire was amazing capturing beautiful memories of my two daughters. They weren't the easiest to photograph, but Claire was so patient, kind and took some really beautiful photos.

Thank you again. Couldn't recommend more.”

— Georgia

“Something special”

“Claire did an incredible job during my creative portrait session with her. The whole experience was amazing and totally different from a standard photo session.

Claire listened carefully to what I wanted from the session, and was then able to direct me, suggest ideas and change the lighting and backgrounds to achieve the desired shots.

Her editing skills are fantastic. She managed to keep me looking like me, while making each photo stand out and shine. I highly recommend her if you want something special.’’

— Imogen

“Professional & slick”

“Very pleased with my head shot from Claire. I normally am not happy with myself in a photo, but Claire knew exactly how to get the best out of me in a flash (excuse the pun). Very happy with the result. Professional and slick, no fuss way about Claire's approach and my lovely photo will be brilliant for me to use on all of my business platforms.

Highly recommend Claire, she for sure gets my vote !

Thanks so much”
