Womens portraits
Artistic, heirloom photography for women
“Remember who you were before they told you who to be.”
… want to remember yourself?
Look in the mirror and tell me who you see. A mother, a grandmother, a wife, a daughter?
Let me gently remind you of who else you are.
Beyond your roles you are a woman in your own right.
Strong and capable, unique and beautiful.
As women we give so much to others around us, steadying the ship, making sure everyone is ok, recording the milestones of our family on the way. But somewhere on this journey of giving, we also give away ourselves. Does that sound familiar?
Mother, business owner, woman
Who are you?
And, once you’ve remembered that sparkling part of you, what if you could share it with others to cherish, long after you’ve gone?
I’m Jess, a Devon based photographer for wonderful women like you. I create beautiful timeless photos. Artistic, heirloom pieces to pass down to your children and great grandchildren. Treasured art pieces to display in your home, before they become as precious as that old sepia photo of your grandparents. This photography is my speciality and my passion.
I believe every woman should be captured as who she is. It is not vain, it is not self indulgent. It is an act of giving—to yourself and your loved ones. It is a million miles away from a selfie. And the future generations will be glad you did it.
“Jess is such a warm person who instantly puts everyone at ease on a photo shoot. You can tell how much passion she has for her job as soon as you meet her… She really cares about her clients and manages to capture people’s spirits in her pictures.”

But
I’m camera shy
Many find the idea of a women’s shoot a little daunting. I understand. I’m camera shy, so it is my mission to make your photoshoot a carefree and uplifting experience that will leave you feeling wonderful. I will guide you through the process from booking, preparing for your shoot, the shoot itself, viewing your images through to selecting your beautiful end product.
Some opt to bring a friend (or Mum) with them for moral support and make it into a fun way of spending time together whilst creating memories for a lifetime.
“Despite us both being hugely camera shy, Jess made us feel at ease. Her natural warmth coupled with exceptional camera skills resulted in two beautiful albums that we will cherish for life.”

PACKAGES
I offer a range of packages for my women’s sessions depending on the time and variety of images that you need. To find a session length that suits you please see the packages below.
All of my women’s packages include as standard:
A pre shoot consultation to build a shoot unique to you discussing location, editing, clothes, props etc
All post production to create pieces of beautiful artwork.
Option to buy piece by piece from my beautiful product range.
Low res digital files of any image purchased as a product. These are suitable for sharing on social media or use on your phone.
Bespoke Sessions
These 3 hour experiences are all about you. We build your shoot around your very uniqueness which will dictate your location, your outfits and how you want to be captured.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? What do you like to wear - in your spare time, on a special occasion, when immersed in your hobby? Maybe you have a cool outfit that you don't wear often but looks amazing on you!
Your carefully planned shoot aims to capture the real you - considering outfits and props to hint towards the person you are. All captured in a natural, authentic way.
Many like a fully immersive experience with hair and make up, where others prefer to do their own.
Locations can be chosen to reflect your shoot - if you are a horse rider we can head to the stables, if a ballerina to the dance studio or we can use a simple clean studio set up. It is up to you!
So how would you like to be photographed?
