“Carola did a brand photoshoot for me and the process was slick, efficient, on time, organised, and fun. She managed to break through my fear of being in front of the camera.
The pics were brilliant and natural – just what I wanted.
Carola is a warm, kind and fun person to work with and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a photo shoot.”
“I am the MOST awkward human in the world and having my photo taken is as bad as it gets for me. But I needed an up to date photograph of myself to use for work and social media purposes, and so I found Carola.
She took great care and time before the session to find out exactly what I wanted, and made loads of helpful suggestions for how I could prepare as well as sharing resources to help me get the best out of it. On the day of the shoot itself, Carola put me instantly at ease. Her warm, professional manner made it so easy, and her eye for detail and ability to direct me was seriously impressive. Nothing was too much trouble, and she really took her time with me.
I’m so pleased with the final shots! My husband said that Carola had captured me as he sees me, which is a wonderful compliment! I recommend Carola and her services without hesitation.”

“My colleague Irina Aron and I needed new images for the Relationship Design Club and that is when Carola’s assistance became invaluable. Through focusing on visual images and asking very specific questions about the new project, Carola helped to define and to create the brand image of the project. All her questions were thought-provoking and helped us to see our project from a different perspective.
With Carola’s expertise, no little detail was overseen. Her structured, methodical, and very practical preparation for the photoshoot really paid off. At the time of the photoshoot, Carola supported both my colleague and me with calm, kindness, understanding, and the awareness that being photographed could bring up many personal issues. I normally would avoid being photographed at all costs but with Carola it was easy! Carola managed to balance looking after Irina and me as an emphatic companion and producing brilliant images at the same time.”
“Before hiring Carola, I wasn’t sure what to expect and I was worried that I wouldn’t like them. I now have great images which I can use at a drop of a hat for speaking or collaboration engagements without scrolling through 1000s bad selfies on my phone. It’s a pleasure spending three hours with Carola and her before and aftercare was top class!”

"As a wedding photographer, I knew I needed to show up with great images myself for my clients to like and trust me. I also knew I wanted to show up authentically in my images and to like myself in them. I knew I was in good hands with Carola, as she’d taken my picture before and I'd loved every bit of the experience and my photos. And this time was no different! Carola put me at ease from the start and directed me every step of the way that I didn't have the mental space to feel nervous. From the images, you can tell we were having a ball too! I suffer from bad eczema on my face, neck, arms and hands, so this is always a worry for me, but you'd never even know that my skin was having a bad day! I LOVE my images! Carola's not just a photographer, she's some kind of magician as well!"
“I had the most amazing experience at Carola's beautiful studio. She knows just how to get the very best out of you, whilst ensuring you are calm and relaxed the whole time. I was able to view my photographs from the shoot this morning and was absolutely blown away by them. The pictures are stunning. I can't quite get over how fabulous they are. I thoroughly recommend the entire experience. Carola is not just an amazing photographer but a wonderful person too. Five-star treatment from a five-star lady!”

“What a fantastic experience. Carola put me at ease before we had even met. I enjoyed our session and couldn’t wait to see the images and I wasn’t disappointed! I’ve used the pictures on my website, business Instagram feed, Facebook and also sent them to be used in print. A massive thank you!”

“Carola is extremely professional and gives you 100% of herself. She takes the time to get to know you and understands how to make you feel comfortable. My family and I attended a session with her as I needed a professional photo and we had promised ourselves to have a family shot before our daughter started senior school. We all told her that we were not photogenic and came out extremely pleased with what she achieved.
I would highly recommend Carola. Not only is she highly professional she is extremely friendly and is very interested in you as a person, which helps you relax into your experience.”
“Excellent photographer. Worth every penny. Transformational photographs that show a person's true essence so you simply can't help looking at them and going ‘Wow!’”
