Business Branding - Michelle Attwell - Traumatologist

A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of updating the branding photos for Michelle Attwell, a talented traumalogist who specialises in helping people heal from trauma.

When Michelle first reached out, she shared that she was feeling quite nervous about being photographed. It was really important to her (and to me!) that we captured not only professional images but ones that felt authentically her — relaxed, confident, and approachable.

During our session, I made it my priority to create a calm, supportive environment where Michelle could feel at ease. It’s always incredible to see the shift when someone relaxes into the process — that's when the real magic happens.

After our shoot, Michelle sent me this beautiful email, which I’m so honoured to share:

"I just wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for the images you captured.
You truly have a special gift for bringing out the best in people through your lens.
I felt so privileged to spend that time with you — your kindness, patience, and attention to making sure I was comfortable meant so much.
It's truly something special to witness a process when someone does something she loves doing.
You made the whole experience enjoyable.
I’m already looking forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for an exceptional photographer."

Working with Michelle was such a reminder of why I love doing what I do — it’s not just about taking photos; it’s about creating a space where people feel seen, supported, and confident.
