Photographic Experience

The Photographic Experiences

Be it a before and after session or enjoying Over 50 and Fabulous shoot with me, it’s all about the whole experience—the final image is the bonus at the end.

What its all about

I begin by getting to know my subject, finding a fun and creative concept that truly reflects their personality. Each session kicks off with professional makeup, and with my years of experience as a makeup artist working alongside top photographers, I aim to give the full model treatment. Sitting in the makeup chair is an intimate experience, creating a unique bond that often carries beautifully into the photoshoot itself. I believe this makes for a truly special and memorable photo experience.”

“I started my photo sessions for fun and as a way to promote my make up and Graceful Disgraceful workshops. It’s been such a joy—everyone has truly enjoyed both the experience and the images we create together. So I’m planning to offer The Make-up Experience session as part of my Graceful Disgraceful, making paid sessions available. If this sounds interesting to you, please reach out—I’d love to hear your thoughts!”

And she works her magic again! Arrived at Karen’s absolutely frazzled, end of the school term and absolutely exhausted but look at the magic she made. Not just in the wonderful makeup but the whole experience. The boost she gave me through the experience of doing my makeup and photo shoot. I left feeling completely uplifted and reenergised. And what a wonderful memory to have these lovely photos to remember the experience by. Fully recommend! Wendy

Vaudeville style
They say

What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon making memories with my youngest daughter. Karen captured our relationship brilliantly. We love being silly and having fun crazy moments together, yet at the same time we are both a bit strong willed and stubborn which makes the relationship a bit feisty at times. Karen tying it all up to our love of dance and the theatre using a vaudeville theme was perfect.
