Hi, I'm Charlotte

I love helping photographers like yourself achieve your goals and refine your skills. I built this course with you in mind.

When I first started my newborn photography career 15 years ago there were no online courses, no coaching, no resources to get me started. I had to figure everything out myself including how to use my studio light. I was left in the dark...literally.

But for you my friend, the great thing is that you don't have to do this alone. I will show you everything I know and everything I have learnt, I will share with you all of my secrets, tips & hacks to help you become a more confident newborn photographer. I will be there with you every step of the way to guide you through whenever you have questions, doubts, fears. I GOT YOU!

So if you ARE still sitting on the fence, just ask yourself, "What have I got to lose?" You can't become your best self if you don't invest in yourself.

I can't wait to meet you, teach you and cheer you on as you evolve into the photographer you've always dreamed of becoming.
