Michelle White

I’m a mother of two, a multi-award winning photographer, and an educator on a mission to empower creatives to dream bigger, work smarter, and build a life they love.​ After studying Fine Art Photography at University - I started my professional career as a wedding photographer in 2010, In 2013, everything changed when I met my mentor. From that moment, I knew I had found my passion - in newborn photography. I started my business in a spare room of my home, building my new business up - whilst also navigating life as a new mum .​ With the help from my mentor and a loving family, I transformed my business from a constant struggle into a thriving studio built on creativity, smart strategies, and a clear vision.​ Now I want to help you to do the same. I’m here to give you the tools, strategies, and mindset shifts you need to build a business that’s not just profitable but one you truly love. Let’s turn your passion into a success story!

Meet Gracie and Esme, two spirited sisters with a passion for creativity and adventure. At 12 years old, Gracie is the clever and witty big sister, while 8-year-old Esme brings her own cheeky charm to the mix. Together, they love anything artistic or creative from painting to crafts, - (even to the extent of setting up their own keyring & badge selling businesses!) Whether it be gymnastics, playing sports or trampolining they also always find time to read and explore the outdoors. Despite the occasional squabble, their bond is unbreakable, and their love and support for their family is truly exceptional. We love them dearly!
