With nearly 20 years’ experience as a fashion stylist, she brings a considered eye to wardrobe, posing and light—helping you feel confident and radiant in front of the camera.

Whether you prefer the golden light of Sussex beaches and countryside, the comfort of your home, or the natural-light studio in Brighton, she steers the session with gentle direction so you can relax and be yourself.
