As a Husband, Brother, Father (and now a Grandfather!) to all of the amazing women in my life, I see every day how incredible women are.
I’ll never forget some of the things women say to me during and after they have had their photoshoots.
Mostly, I am astonished when they reveal that the experience and the images are even better than they expected and that this really gives them a confidence boost.
After years of photographing families and listening to women’s stories our vision emerged.
We are creating a global community to support and encourage women to own their successes, mistakes and all of the roles they identify with in their lives.
We have heard so many inspirational stories of celebration and survival, from the birth of babies through to overcoming everything from cancer to homelessness & domestic violence.
The common thread that runs through all of them is tenacity and survival, women really do have amazing power within.
Our aim is to help all women express themselves as the amazing beings they are in whatever way they choose. We help women celebrate their Inner Goddess and create a rewarding and remarkable reminder of this time in their life – a unique time in history.
When I as 18, my Mum passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Our world fell apart. I was living at home with my parents, my Dad and I were just devastated.
Three months later my Father followed her … his heart was broken and he couldn’t live without her; he passed away quietly in his sleep.
I look back now, so many years later, and wonder if this was not the driving force behind my passion to capture beautiful portraits of families and people. My children never met their grandparents and that is a real shame because they were beautiful people.
I often hear stories of regret during a photoshoot in words like ‘if only Mum were here’ or ‘Mum would have loved these photos’.
