Emma’s passion for photography started after picking up a camera for the first time to document the early life of her first child. Six weeks after photographing her first client she handed in her notice at her job, with only a business name, no bookings in the diary, one month’s pay to live on and a heap load of faith.
Since then she has grown her photography business exponentially and become one of the most sought after trainers in the UK focussing on workflow, lighting and soothing techniques.
“I love working with different people- people learn in different ways, be it kinaesthetically or visually, and part of being a teacher is to recognise this and adapt to the trainees needs. I love seeing my trainees progress and genuinely get a little teary when they nail a pose or angle they were struggling with before.”
