We don’t normally feature our family on the blog. Not for any other reason than we think you’d rather look at our work instead but had to share these two moments in our family’s story with you.
First up is Jemima, who at 10 weeks old is now sitting up reasonably well and making all sorts...

I first worked with Antonia a couple of months ago on a one to one training session. We’ve worked together a few times now and the results are always great. This time we teamed up with a great make-up artist, Terri Lee Lindley.
These images were for an autumnal update to Antonia’s book.
