Kind Words From Past Clients

A young woman with long black wavy hair, wearing a black pleated top and a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant, smiling outdoors on a sunny day with green and yellow blurred background.

“Celie was incredibly friendly and made the whole team feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

Even those who were a bit nervous ended up enjoying the process, thanks to her calm and encouraging approach.

The final photos turned out absolutely beautiful - crisp, professional, and exactly what we were hoping for. She truly knows how to bring out the best in people!”

— Asha Bojarska-Russell, Somerset LMC

“When I received the photos, I simply couldn't believe how pleased I was with them. I was like, "wow, is that actually me?!"

I had never had professional photos before so I felt all fidgety and awkward but Celie has a knack of making you feel at ease in front of the camera. So much so that I actually found myself enjoying it.

She's a fantastic photographer, a fantastic person, and the difference her photos have made to my online confidence is second to none.”

— Jess Sutton, Grounded Copy Co

“Having worked with Celie on two shoots I can confidently say that she is not only really warm and friendly but a professional and highly skilled creative

It can be quite an intimate experience having your photographs taken, and Celie has a wonderful way of putting you at ease and making the whole experience fun and enjoyable. I have worked with her for both professional and personal shoots and recommend her so so highly.”

— Charlotte Feldforth
