Welcome to Warm Glow Photo Studio
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to have a studio. At University we had these huge, black studios that we shared with the Film and TV course. Massive high ceilings with built in high-glide lighting systems. Back projection screens - have you ever seen...
“The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life” William Morris
Well, the world looks very different to how it did when I started planning this post. How is everyone holding up? I’ve had my moments of despair and I fully expect more on the way. At first I didn’t see the point of posting anything but then I realised maybe this post...
Why I love Personal Branding photography

This mum initially got in touch with me about a newborn shoot but ended up booking a session when the twins were six months old. It was a great time to photograph this family. The twins were sitting up, smiling and interacting with each other. It also meant that we...
Head shots
