A body of work exploring womens reproductive rights brought to you by Grace Elizabeth Images.

In this 9 part series I’ll be introducing SHE CHOSE. A project encompassing 25 portraits accompanied by 9 unique stories exploring why we need to ensure that women today feel safe to exercise their right to equality, including access to emergency contraception and terminations, where so many women, past and present, have been denied this right and even criminalised for their choices. For women, freedom of choice over our bodies and reproductive rights is still just as important as ever - for past, current and future generations.

She Chose aims to open up a dialogue through visual storytelling about a topic where women in today’s society still feel shame in talking about.

My hope is that by reading these raw, brave and personal stories shared by these extraordinary women openly discussing abortion, emergency contraceptives and sexual, physical and mental health that we can all be open minded as a community and be reminded that every individual woman’s journey is her rightly her own.

Transitioning Into a Freelance Photographer & How I Find Clients

When you’re first starting out as a freelancer the most daunting phase that tends to hold people back is the 'do I have enough clients’ thought. Then wondering how to sustain that once you’ve taken the big plunge. It’s the constant worry when you launch into the full-time freelance world but don’t let that put you off because working for yourself can be oh so rewarding. I’ve had so many people asking me the same question so I thought I’d open the topic up for a chat and share my personal experiences.

Empowering Women Interview Series - Issue 7: Chelsea Murphy, CASH.

Empowering Women is an intimate interview series talking with women from all walks of life. This project aims to open up a dialogue about who we are as women and as people, but to also educate and inform. I’m sharing the stories of extraordinary women doing extraordinary things, encapsulating knowledge on business, a holistic lifestyle and healthy guidance for all things that help us blossom as women. This week I sat down with Chelsea Murphy, from CASH. to talk about how to have an empowering relationship with money, what the top 3 hang ups are people have financially, why money is still a taboo topic and how Chelsea balances two businesses and two little ones with her husband.

ISHANI Designs - BTS Interview (Behind The Shoot).

Behind The Shoot (BTS) is a new intimate interview series and gallery exploring my client’s experiences of working alongside me from start to finish. A story based testimonial sharing exactly why I do what I do. A lot of the time when we build business relationships, we get so caught up in the job we forget to nourish the community of businesses we have connected with and reflect on what we have learnt and shared. BTS shares all the little experiences along the way so you get to hear about the story not just see the finished product.
