‘I cannot recommend Clare highly enough!! With little faith in my ability to pose for a good photo, I entered this shoot with trepidation; however, it turned out to be such a fun morning. Clare is so relaxed and easy to work with and I am absolutely delighted with the results! My practice involves multiple processes and I can’t believe we managed to cover them all in the shoot. I am so pleased with the quality and mood of the photos, and feel that they really express my identity as an artist and person. The experience and results have completely exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to embed some photos in my relaunch of my website, and branding material for New Designers ‘24.

Thank you so much, and I am really looking forward to working with you again soon.’

A few favourites from this shoot @thecanfordpoole - which was very exciting to document! Each room is individually designed, a unique blend of luxury and character. From curated prints to sumptuous textures, each detail feels thoughtfully considered.
I loved this portrait session with the very brilliant writer and yoga teacher @iamlouisaflynn. We spent a (rather drizzly!) morning in Bournemouth Gardens capturing these images for the rebrand of Louisa’s website which I was honoured to docume
Thrilled to share that some of my work for artist and illustrator @fmctaggart has been featured in this month’s @uppercasemag magazine! This rebranding session was created to promote Fiona’s incredible work and practice ahead of her showc
