“On making the switch from lifestyle to documentary family photography, I booked a mentoring session with Alice for guidance in refining my portfolio. It was such a massive help! She was able to view the images with the objectivity I was lacking and to provide honest and constructive feedback using her expert eye. She has such amazing attention to detail and really took the time to fully understand the motivation behind my photography and my specific brand.
I was amazed at the amount we managed to achieve within the session and have come away with a set of images I feel really pleased with, as well as the confidence to push my business to the next stage. I can’t recommend working with Alice enough.” —Nina Raingold
