Why empowerment photography is my passion

When it comes to choosing a photographer, it's essential to take your time and find the right fit for you. I appreciate that you're here to learn more about me before making a decision—this shows how much you value the connection and trust that are vital in empowerment photography. To help you determine if we’re the perfect match for your upcoming shoot, I’d like to share a few things I truly love about this art form and a bit about who I am.

#1 – I’m a people person. Empowerment photography requires a strong rapport, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients before our session and starting the creative process before you even step foot in my studio. Building that connection is crucial, which is why I offer in-person consultations (usually at my fave cafe The Green Dot in Bishop’s Stortford) or Zoom calls to foster trust and comfort.

#2 – Embracing body positivity. Like many, I too have struggled with body image, but after years of personal growth, I now celebrate my body and encourage others to do the same. I am more than happy to show and share my story with you to help you shake off those shackles. Witnessing a client’s reaction to their photos is incredibly rewarding, knowing they’ll have a lasting reminder of the moment they embraced every part of themselves. It encourages them to always be reminded of the freedom and joy they felt for themselves which is an important part in the journey to accepting and loving ourselves.

#3 – Confidence boosting. I take pride in being a professional confidence booster. It’s truly amazing to help women recognise their beauty, both inside and out. The joy on their faces when they see their photos is a moment I cherish every time.

I could share countless reasons why I love empowerment photography, but I believe this gives you a glimpse into my passion. If this resonates with you, make sure to get int ouch. You never know which experiences in your life will be the life changing ones, but I can hand on heart say that I believe this one has been life changing for many of my clients.
