MEET DEBBIE - 40 OVER 40 PROJECT WOMEN’S PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY IN NORWICH

40 OVER 40FOR YOUREVIEWS AND TESTIMONIALS

5 Sep

Debbie originally applied for my 40 Over 40 Project Women’s Photography Session and then pulled out shortly after, which I was devastated about because I knew how much fun it would be working with her in the studio. So I was over the moon when she changed her mind again and jumped in with both feet!

Initially, Debbie came to my studio in Horsford, near Norwich to have a styling consultation and discuss the styling we were going to do to make her five ‘looks’ represent her, her life, and her personality. The concepts we discussed were so fun - glitter, bold colours, fairy lights, a twist on the 'regular' lawyer and, not to mention, pop art! With a bold colour scheme and those red sunglasses, I knew we were onto a winner and the whole series of those images look so great.

ABOUT DEBBIE’S EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION:

We had so much fun during Debbie’s photoshoot! We turned on the tunes, got the snacks in and stock-piled all the glitter we could - I’m still finding pieces in the studio months later!

Debbie's hair and make-up was Lina Hallberg Makeup doing what she does best and she even got a hand cameo going on this session for the pop art images, which I will share at another point Nice one Lina, you’ve been promoted! 😆

I've been waiting a long time to share these with you and I'm so pleased that I finally can! I could have shared with you all of them because I love them so much so it was hard choosing just a handful.

After the session, I set about editing the session and it made me smile all over again. Debbie loved all of the photographs when she came for her reveal session and chose a fine art print and a large, glossy wall art to remind her of it which looks absolutely lush.

DEBBIE’S THOUGHTS ON THE PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION:

“Claire is 100% the reason why I joined the 40/40 Project. She is completely down-to-earth, friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and has excellent ideas and I’m amazed at what she could produce!

100% the best photographer and I have recommended her to several people and will continue to do so. I thorough enjoyed the day and I just wanted to say a MASSIVE ‘thankyou’ because you probably don’t realise the impact you can have on someone that hasn’t much confidence and sometimes not much belief in themselves, so thankyou.”

— Debbie Everett
