Stepping gentle in front of camera with female portrait photographer from Brighton Sussex

March 27, 2022

Visibility is a non-linear journey of: resistance, fear, allowing, inquiring, trusting, receiving, resting, listening, releasing, healing, feeling, expressing, creating, imagining, responding...
It’s a beautiful journey of stepping gently in front of my camera.

How to Start 2021 with Inspiration and Vision 

December 22, 2020

Because of my corporate background and journey to become full time visual artist, photographer and videographer I am all about being inspired and not instructed. Rather, than setting up 2021 goals, business plans, strategies, missions, or New Year resolutions, every year I choose a magical word (or words). For 2021 I have decided to choose…

Stress less to accomplish more! Personal journey of a Female Brand Photographer

March 31, 2020

I have been beating myself up for some time now for not being active on social media: sharing my creative work, branding blog or post stories of my beautiful clients like others....

I simply don't feel like doing any of that at the moment!

I feel sort of under "societal pressure" as an international creative purpose driven female photographer and videographer (based in sunny Brighton, London,Sussex, UK), freelancer, business owner, artist, light worker (ex-finance person) to be visible even more!

Never feel good enough? My personal journey with Branding Photography – London & Brighton Female Portrait Photographer

January 11, 2020

I spent most of my life feeling “not good enough” ... Can you relate?

This feeling can manifest in different way…. “self-destruction” but in my case always was opposite pushing my boundaries and working even harder to prove myself my worth through achievements.

I spent the last ten years of my life working in the corporate world before following my passions as an International Personal Brand Portrait Photographer & Videographer, event organiser and mentor based in lovely Brighton & London.

Are you a flowing water, invincible woman or a limitless, resilient rock woman? - Personal Brand Portrait Photo session

August 5, 2019

Are you a flowing water, invincible woman or a limitless, resilient rock woman?

Both are powerful yet showing their strength in a distinct way.

As a Professional Personal Brand Portrait Photographer and Retreat Photographer based in “sunny” UK, Sussex area, I strive to be surrounded with women who trust and surrender to the flow of life. It may even be at its simplest, the state when we just are, and we know that we are exactly where we should be.

Are you “the water” or “the rock”? or BOTH like me!

My personal journey with Brand Photography: Tending your creative fire and why this is so important - London & Brighton Portrait Photographer

July 29, 2018

Explosion of creativity!!! – is what i am experiencing right now on my photographic journey!

In the light of this realisation and the awareness of the potential that lies inside me, I have decided that I would tend my creative fire and upgrade my artistic skills. It’s time to come out of my comfort zone, be more adventurous, playful and daring. It is time to move forward on my creative path and enjoy the journey along the way without worrying about the end result! Time to let go of any expectations and judgements, time to experiment, to get my hands dirty and most of all, time to have fun!

"I am not photogenic" - London & Brighton Portrait Photographer

April 29, 2018

“(…) but I’m not photogenic…” – I hear it a lot! Believe me, it doesn’t surprise me! Like many of you, I also get shy in front of the camera – and yes, a portrait photographer is saying it herself! After all, I’m not photogenic… But we wouldn’t be ourselves if we didn’t take chances and just go for it, would we? And such beauties are resulting from it! Just believe and LOVE yourself.
