I have always been a little self-conscious, with a certain degree of “stage fright” whenever I felt I had to perform, but those feelings never came up when I was working with Tamzin. I was completely comfortable as she talked me through the process with confidence and grace. She is such a natural at knowing how to put those on the other side of the camera at ease, undoubtedly from having been there herself as a model. Our time together was light-hearted and fun, and the results were fantastic. I am so grateful to have captured whatever degree of “mature beauty” that remains before it all – well, you know.

Thank you for your patience, reassuring presence, artistry, and coaching! Fascinating to observe my own reactions. As a business exec and coach, I’m usually in the mode of confident, assured leader. It was oddly refreshing to allow myself to be vulnerable and open about my insecurities in being photographed and conveying ‘who I am’ as a coach via digital images. You radiate a loving, nonjudgmental warmth. Your passion for photography is so evident. It is a joy to witness someone moving gracefully and fluently in their right livelihood.

[The photos] are wonderful. I don’t think I’ve had a picture of myself that I have felt good about since I was 13 and I love many of these and at least like them all! Also, I don’t think we have any pictures of the three of us-and if somewhere we do, it is nothing like these! I will treasure them. Thank you so much. And thank you Valerie for introducing us.
