Story of the month

The day I stopped hiding.

I was terrified of being photographed. Ten minutes in, I forgot the camera was there — and for the first time I actually like a photo of myself.

In her words

I booked the session as a birthday gift to myself, half expecting to cancel. Alex called a week before, asked about the scarves I love, my favourite books, the light in my flat.

On the day we drank tea, talked, laughed — and somewhere in between the photos happened. My grandchildren now fight over who gets the big print.

What surprised you most?
How quickly it stopped feeling like a photoshoot — it felt like visiting a friend.
Would you do it again?
I already booked a session for my daughter and me in spring.

From nervous to natural.

“The first frame I looked stiff. Ten minutes later I was laughing — that’s the difference a conversation makes.”
