I highly recommend Esther. She is incredibly attuned, sensitive and has a spectacular ability to genuinely make you feel comfortable. She has a powerful sense of what works well and her intuition and creativity shine through. She photographed me in late pregnancy at home, with my 5 year old and then my mother in the park which was wonderful. Gratefully she then took stunning images of my 2 week old newborn and I and was so impressed with her creativity and gentleness. More...

I loved being photographed by Esther. She made me feel empowered, happy and confident. Her charm and cheerful, upbeat personality instantly put me at ease. I know I will return to her whenever I need professional photos, and I highly recommend using her as a photographer. More...

The shoot was lovely. Esther made me feel very relaxed and it felt more reportage than a boring studio shoot. So I wasn’t asked to stand still or hold a position for her to take the pic. Very pleased with the results too ! More...

What a joy it is to work with Esther. I have done so twice on some headshot photos and on some promotional poster photography. Esther is both bursting with creativity and calm in nature. This means you can truly relax in front of the camera. She is organised and efficient and clearly experienced technically. I would recommend her to anyone looking for their next shoot. More...

Esther made such beautiful pictures and captured the memory of our growing family so intimately when I was in the final month of my pregnancy! She is a brilliant photographer and artist! Esther was very willing to go with our suggestion to take pictures outside in a public park and had many good ideas to make it personal. She took her time to get to know us and this is really reflected in the pictures she took. As a mother herself, she is very playful and this really helped with our older daughter who she engaged in the taking of pictures. This made it so much easier for our daughter to remain present and patient. Once our son was born, we asked Esther again to take pictures, this time in our home, and despite all the mess of having a newborn, she made such incredible pictures. More...

I loved shooting with Esther! As a motherhood coach I always need photos that reflect my personality and brand voice. Esther captured both wonderfully. She is a very skilled photographer and made me feel incredibly relaxed. I find posing for photos difficult but when working with Esther, no posing is needed. She captures stunning photos in the movement and in the moment. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Establishing trust and understanding between myself and who I am photographing. This enables people to relax into the experience and feel able to express themselves, freely, with fun directions rather than a need to pose.
