About Ginny
I was once like most of my clients – hating having my photo taken (I’d usually pull a silly face due to embarrassment) and hating how I looked in photos, criticising the tiniest of details in my appearance. I was stuck in my head and disconnected from my body
I’m living proof that you can overcome being camera shy, and not only be confident at having your photo taken, but actually love seeing yourself in photos (yes, seriously!), and even change your life as a result.
For over 14 years I’ve been helping my clients step out of their everyday life, take time just for them, and rediscover aspects of themselves they haven’t seen in ages – if ever.
My goal is to not only provide you with stunning images where you look and feel your best, but to kickstart a personal journey of authentic confidence and self-worth.
In 2017 I reached burnout. I was working 7 days a week, shooting weddings as well as building the portrait side of my business, whilst mediating my parents through a divorce, and my body forced me to stop. It was the wake-up call I needed to change the way I saw myself and my business for the better. I learned how to put myself and my health first, and learned to love myself (which wasn’t easy, but I got there!). Then in 2020, I trained as a Body Confidence and Wellbeing Coach with the IBCC (Institute for Body Confidence Coaching), and discovered a whole new conscious way of being…
I now help people to feel good and love who they are so that they can confidently show up in their business and relationships, attract more of what they want, and live more joyfully.
As women, we don’t often get the opportunity to feel like the centre of attention; in fact, we often shy away from it (especially if you’re an introvert, like me!). Now is the time to feel empowered, realise how important it is to treat yourself and invest in ‘you.’ Because when you’re your best self, others around you will also reap the rewards.
In my quest to study energy and feel good, I also trained as a Reiki practitioner (level 2 & Angelic Reiki), then as a Cacao Ceremony Facilitator, teaching people about the magical effects of this superfood plant medicine (Cacao is essentially raw chocolate with amazing health benefits and healing properties), and more recently, as a Conscious Dance Facilitator. I love helping people to connect with their body and heart energy and develop their spiritual practice.
In my spare time, I love to dance, practice yoga and meditation, and on a weekend you’ll usually find me helping facilitate dances at Ecstatic Dance Yorkshire, spending time with my partner and two step-children, wild swimming or walking in nature.
I also love hosting and going to retreats and festivals!

Portraying your personality and brand values across your images, and giving out the right energy about what you do is vitally important as a spiritual entrepreneur.
Whether you’re a business or life coach, a therapist, a yoga teacher or a designer, you’re on a journey of alignment to be the best that you can be, and you need images to match (and possibly a bit of coaching to help you on your way!).
