I am so excited to share this sneak peek…
Earlier this week I met with writer and author, Carolyn Vines, who’s well on the way to finishing her first book, a memoir entitled ‘black and (A)broad: doing it in Holland’ and I couldn’t be more excited for her as she nears the finish line.
Carolyn not only asked me to take her PR portraits but three days before her portrait session she asked for portraits that “scream ‘inspiration'”. Now, that really made me think long and hard at how I was to achieve this seemingly momentous task. I always aim to capture the personality of my subjects in their portraits, but a portrait that immediately makes the viewer feel inspired is so much more than that, at least I felt it was. I was ready for the challenge and all of those three days my brain was buzzing with ideas! I’ll have more of those kind of challenges please! ;-)
Carolyn, you really are SO beautiful. I loved having you in front of my camera! :-)
A quick change of outfit to finish off the session…
Carolyn, thank you for a wonderful portrait session. I really enjoyed our time together and can’t wait to see your book in print. Wishing you all the best as you near the finishing post!

Thanks, ladies! :)
Wow! Stunning. I knew she was beautiful, but they are wondrous
Dear Natalie,
I may be a writer, but right now I’m lost for words. I agree with Jo: they’re stunning. Can I say that about my own pictures? I guess I can as long as I emphasize that I’m talking about the photography. I can’t wait to see the others. Thanks again, Natalie. BTW I love the write up!
Thanks Jo and Carolyn.
Carolyn, of course you can say they’re stunning because YOU are stunning! :-)
Lovely photos, beautiful subject! :) Well done ladies! Cheers!
