These sessions are more than portraits. They are a gently guided photography experience that honours individuality, nurtures well-being, and captures lived experience with dignity and quiet presence.

I adapt to your pace and preferences, guiding the experience with care to ensure a person-centred, engaging, and meaningful session throughout. You’ll come away with a rich collection of images, including portraits, candid moments, and visual storytelling.

(I’m happy to include one to two persons)
