“My photoshoot with Carola was absolutely excellent!
What Carola does really well is that she spent a lot of time with me beforehand. She was genuinely interested to understand what my objectives were and whether I had any concerns about being photographed. She was very thorough going through the logistics of how we’re going to doing it, finding the right location, clothes to wear, makeup etc., which I found really valuable. I thought our actual photoshoot was hilarious, great fun and at no point did I feel nervous about you having the camera. I’m very happy with the photographs. You’ve made me look great and I feel really good when I look at my images. And to see them on our new website which is about to be launched is fantastic!”

JULIE JOHNS | Managing Director & Founder @ Jewel Training & Development Ltd.

“Carola did the branding photos for the Relationship Design Club which we created with my business partner Julia Abolina. I was impressed by her talent as a photographer combined with an inquisitive mind and a desire to go beyond the image she was creating for her client. She has a very elaborate process in place prior to the actual shoot, which allows the shooting to be planned well in advance to great detail. She has asked us questions that helped us to imagine how we want our website to look & feel. I strongly recommend Carola as a highly skilled professional photographer with coaching skills who is able to support you in the process of clarifying your business brand, who is capable to melt the tension around the photo shoot, and who is extremely precise with delivery in terms of quality and time. Her ability to listen and observe makes working with her both serious and fun. Thank you, Carola!”

“I loved the photo shoot with Carola. She really put me at ease and she knows how to get the best out of people. I'm really happy with the images and every time I post them, I get lots of comments about how radiant I look. Carola knows how to make your inner light shine. It was hard to choose my favourite photos - I loved them all! If you need photos for your brand - Carola is your woman!”

ELA WASSELL | Leadership Coach @ TrulyBoldlyYou

“Carola was brilliant, in our initial consultation, she made me think about creating professional-looking images that work with my logo and brand colours. I was anxious that I might end up looking very ‘stiff’, but Carola worked tirelessly to make me feel relaxed. I am so pleased with the results! I highly recommend Carola.”

LUCINDA POWELL | Passionate about getting education right at @Changing States of Mind

“Carola really took the time to understand what I was looking for and advise me on how to pose to get the best shots. I'm using the images on LinkedIn and my website and I’m totally in love with them. Seeing myself in that way has been a turning point for me. My confidence had been low and I was really doubting myself. It's fascinating how powerful this has been for me. I've just finished writing my LinkedIn Bio which I'm delighted with – it's kick-ass! So thanks again this has meant more to me than a set of photos. I highly recommend Carola.”

“What a wonderful experience from start to finish. Carola's nurturing presence held me, saw me and heard me utterly, what more can we ask for? I am so thrilled with my photos and those of my family and will treasure them always 😀 Thank you (again!) Carola xx”

SARAH SALMON | Teaching children mindfulness, yoga & relaxation @ Brilliant-Beings.co.uk

“Being photographed by Carola is a really positive, connecting experience. As a therapist, I definitely wanted natural photos of me – creating a feeling of warmth, connection and professionalism. She took the interest and time to really find out about my private practice and encouraged me to create a shared mood board on Pinterest, which we referred to throughout the shoot. I felt she really genuinely cared about getting the best result possible. I'm delighted with the finished result!”

LOUISE HAYLETT | Counsellor @ Sheltered Oak Therapy

“The photoshoot was so much fun! Carola guides you through it with all her professionalism – she is so good at using all the background information she has collected in your design session to relax you so that she can capture the real, authentic and relaxed you. From the moment you decide to have your portraits taken to when you receive your stunning photos, and beyond, Carola is there with you, every step of the way.”

SUZE SUCHAK | Yoga Instructor, South Oxfordshire

“Carola prepared me for the session, with thorough guidance on how to look my best and what to bring.  For a novice like myself, this was incredibly useful. On the day Carola made the whole experience as easy as possible, in fact, she turned something I was rather dreading into a really enjoyable morning.  For someone like me, who hates having their photo taken, this was quite an achievement.

Of course, the proof of the pudding is the actual photographs and I am delighted with them.  I highly recommend Carola as an outstanding photographer who is very professional in all respects."
