alternatively, you can work at your own pace independently.

there will be a private photographers forum to share images, inspiration and module Q&A.


Photographing Real Beautiful Women

I want to share some amazing images with you, thirty beautiful women that made the sometimes scarey decision to step in front of a camera. Not standing at the back of a group shot or hiding behind their children I’m talking just me, them and two big cameras !

The following slideshow contains images that uncover the beauty that lies within each of us….it’s not a matter of clothes on or clothes off, it’s a matter of opening your mind and heart to the sensual, artful beauty of who you are, just as you are.

I was particularly excited that several of the women chose to have a boudoir photography session as a way of letting go, having fun, being free and being themselves - all of it captured artfully and tastefully. What an amazing gift to special someone, yes, but it is also a gift to themselves - everyone one of them was surprised and delighted by how beautiful they really are and I was honoured to be able to capture that for them.
