Presently Sittings are invitation only
I love being able to give a full photographic experience. I like to meet my model before shooting to feel their personality and find the right style for them. As a sitter you will get the full model treatment. I do photographic make up, hair and style the photo to bring something a bit different, be it a particular look to camera or a full out themed look. Never a dull moment and always great fun.
I began taking pictures when I started my beauty blog for women over 50. My favourite method is using my Smart phone, which has a pretty snazzy camera, easy to manipulate and I feel alot less obrusive for the model. This initial idea has flourished, igniting a profound passion in curating these photographs and exercising complete creative control, a privilege I did not always have as a makeup artist collaborating with photographers. It is also a fabulous way to address the lack of positive imagery featuring older women.
The message
What truly drives me is the opportunity to express the message that women exude radiance and beauty regardless of age. To be able to question the narrow definitions of beauty and the limited representations of ageing often presented to us. By challenging stereotypes and celebrating the beauty of older women, I want to encourage a more inclusive and compassionate perspective on ageing, for women to reclaim their stories, embrace their beauty, and inspire others to do the same.

A really fun experience. Thank you Karen! I really did enjoy the afternoon, so many thanks for asking me.
