Skip the Traditional!
A photographer, who know’s what she is doing...
Hire me as your photographer and you will get the following, I PROMISE…
I have used a camera since I was small, my own mother is a photographer (so, no guesses where the love for a photograph comes from)!! Don’t tell my teenage self that, who positively hated having a camera pointed at me. But didn’t we all have that stage at some point? But in all seriousness, I either use 35mm film photography or digital and have done so for many years. I would consider myself self taught, but my varying backgrounds creatively lend to the position I am today.
+ Personal cheer leader, as well as a friend.
Honestly this is true, I am not here to catch your bad side (if you even have one) I want to capture you most authentic, natural and raw intimate moments. So, as well as making you feel comfortable and at ease, I want to be your friend, even if it is just for the photography session.
+Closet styling, advice and tips all day long.
This is where my background comes perfectly into play, excuse me for just popping in the following; previously I was a knitwear designer for several years. So, before theUNTOLDphoto was even a thing, I was a Knitwear Designer and had been for several years, working for many lifestyle brands. Truly, there is not much I don’t know about knitwear and I often find myself being asked by my partner in particular or friends / family about whether a piece of knitwear is worth its price based on the yarn or construction. When you know, you just know. But this background fits perfectly within the styling guides that I offer to clients when they book. I want your photographs to be timeless and beautiful, and I know all the styling tips to make it work just right. Trust me!
+Energy, relatability and familiarity
Each session I come with 100% energy.
What you have seen, is what you will get and more.
I promise that I will become like a familiar friend.
+Patience, patience and a little more patience (don’t worry we never need to rush, nor would I ever make you)
I honestly and truly mean it when I say ‘we do not need to rush’. A session is either baby led or children led or if baby hasn’t arrived yet, then its mama led. Which ever way, a session regardless of its allocated time, there is always a good amount of wriggle room.
+Always searching for the light, but always bringing the magic from within the shadows.
As a natural light photographer, I do not use flashes. Instead I search for the magic within natural light. That means, regardless of whether it is bright light, where we will embrace the light by utilising the shadows to add depth and feeling, rather than being blinded and / or even if there is no sun, we will alternatively have the beautiful backdrop of the white clouds, so we will search for the expansive space and let the backdrop radiate your magic.
+Your gallery is my love, I will hand edit every single image like it’s the only one.
Following our session, literally, the first thing I do is back up every image, that’s a must. Next, I will cull the rather large amount of images that I know I will have taken. Then I am left with a smaller amount, of which I will hand edit every single image. Making amendments on many elements such as the contrast, highlights, shadows, white balance and so much more, before I will then start on any little blemishes or little touches that are so small and so unseen but matter the most.
Your gallery is personal and unique, hence why every image captured will be given my full love.
+‘Time’ I will always have time for you, make time or create time.
If it is physically possible, then I will try my hardest to make that time ~ TRY ME.
I’m an open hearted type of person, believe me!
