Claire started her career in administration straight out of school.  She went on to have a successful career in this but slowed down when she had her two sons.  Wanting to create a business working from home, she bought a kids clothing line but soon realised she enjoyed taking the photos far more than she enjoyed the product based business.  She swapped the business for a camera and rallied in her friends and family to do free shoots to build her confidence, exepreince and portfolio and within just three months of owning a camera she created a photography business.  It has been a whirlwind ride for Claire, owning her first camera at 44 and has only been in business a year, but she has loved every second of it.  Her photography career has been built on a solid foundation of mentors, hard work and dedication.  Claire now mentors other photographers, has created online workshops and is planning on creating more workshops this year and a retreat for photographers who are passionate about capturing families, to create memories to last a lifetime.
