People-first photography. Honest, timeless, true to you.
Every photograph starts with a person! The story. The connection. The quiet confidence.
I photograph people first. Business owners, entrepreneurs, teams and families who want images that feel real, considered and genuinely human. Through a guided, thoughtful experience, I create space for you to feel comfortable and seen — so your photographs reflect who you are, not a version you’re trying to perform.
I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in the darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.

How it works…
I’ve designed my process to feel simple, calm, and well-supported — especially if being photographed doesn’t come naturally to you.
Step 1. Book
You’ll start by answering a few guided questions so I can understand what you need and where you’re at. From there, you’ll be directed to the session that best suits your goals, with clear next steps and availability.
You won’t be left wondering what to book or whether you’ve chosen the “right” thing — I’ll guide you.
Step 2. Plan
Once booked, we’ll plan your session together.
This includes:
Styling guidance
Location suggestions
A clear shot list aligned to how you’ll use your images
You’ll know what to expect and how to prepare — no scrambling or second-guessing.
Step 3. Shoot
On the day, my focus is creating a relaxed, supportive space where you can simply show up as yourself.
I’ll guide you through posing, expressions, and movement so nothing feels awkward or forced. Most clients arrive nervous — and leave surprised by how easy it felt.
Step 4. Delivery
Within 7–10 business days, you’ll receive a private online gallery of carefully curated images, selected to reflect you at your best.
Each photograph is professionally retouched and thoughtfully chosen to ensure consistency, quality, and versatility — ready to use across your website, social media, and marketing with confidence.
Ready to feel confident in front of the camera? I’d love to photograph you and your story.

I can't recommend Carol Bouwer Creative enough! From start to finish, Carol made the entire photoshoot such an enjoyable and relaxed experience – and that's saying a lot because I really don't like being in front of the camera.
