Imagine, sitting naked in front of a roomful of people – 6 of whom are looking at you and deciding whether or not you are good enough to stand up to their high standards. They stare, they get up and look closer, they discuss amongst themselves while you sit there, breath held, not moving for...

Family Portraits for YOUR family!
Cora and Dez have a family just like mine, 3 girls and a boy with one girl being the busy one! All through their family session, their daughter begged to show me a headstand. I encouraged her to hang on because her hair was so lovely and I didn’t want it messed up for family...
