Morag Everdene Coaching

Petrina and I had the great pleasure of working with Morag Everdene in early 2025 to develop a suite of images for her coaching business .

Morag is deeply committed to supporting women in their 60’s and beyond on a journey of self-discovery - to redefine themselves as they transition into their elder years and to embrace and celebrate the next phase of their lives with confidence, purpose and relevance. Morag supports her clients reignite their curiosity, creativity, sense of adventure and fun; and to live out their boldest dreams. She believes  ‘age is irrelevant to a life truly fulfilled.’“

“I had the most wonderful experience with Petrina and Kirsten! I have never had ‘professional photos’ taken and if I’m honest, I was quite apprehensive about the whole day, however Petrina and Kirsten’s calm and warm approach had me feeling at ease in no time. Petrina arrived first and with her kind and thoughtful approach started creating make-up magic and I was thrilled with the result. Then Kirsten arrived and scouted great photo spots around my home and then the fun began … and I am absolutely thrilled with the results!”

Lynne Hutton

Lynne is a personal coach, focusing on fitness, mindset and nutrition. She contacted me to create a series of images of her for use on her new website. Lynne wanted images that showed her personality, matched her branding colour palette and gave her a good selection for ongoing promotional use. We worked through a series of outfit changes, locations within her home and different activities to give her a great library of images.

“Personally, anyone who knows me will attest that I REALLY don’t like having my photo taken and so when I received my photos from Kirsten I was bowled over by how they evoked exactly what I wanted for my website. More importantly, I loved the shoot. Kirsten’s relaxed manner got me into the groove and that shows in my photos and for that, I really am extremely grateful.” - Lynne

Roseville Pilates

Natasha is a pilates instructor who was establishing a boutique home-based pilates studio in Roseville. She wanted to capture the essence of the space she had created, the incredible diversity of equipment that she offers and demonstrate her individual attention to clients. We worked with a series of clients to pose and showcase her expertise while capturing the natural light and beautiful peaceful space that she offers.

“I was launching a new business – Roseville Pilates – and needed photos that I could use for my website and marketing materials. Kirsten was fantastic to work with. She’d done her research and came prepared with ideas, which made the process easy and efficient. Her warmth helped everyone to relax, and she got some great natural-looking photos of myself and clients, which is exactly what I needed.” - Natasha

We worked with Karen Borg, CEO of Catholic Healthcare and 2021 candidate for Willoughby Council, who offered these words of her experience working with us:

“I was running for council with a couple of other locals for the first time and we needed to take some shots for our campaign material as well as updating my individual images. We were aiming for a look that was professional and approachable, and were a bit nervous as these photos were going to be all around our neighbourhood when the election was on. To make it more challenging, our team colour was yellow, not the easiest colour to both find and wear successfully. Kirsten and Petrina suggested we meet in advance to work out presentation, which was great. We agreed on wardrobe, hair and makeup and how the shots would look. Most importantly, Petrina recommended a shade of yellow that would be just right for me. On the day, we had a lot of fun. Petrina did her magic with hair and makeup, and then we did the shoot with Kirsten. She knew how best to set up the team photos so we all looked great together and felt very relaxed. Petrina was on hand to ensure that we stayed looking perfect in every shot. When we saw the photos a day or so later, they were all fantastic and it was hard to choose which one was best. Kirsten helped with that, gently recommending which ones would probably appeal the most to our community as well as which would work best when printed as posters or handouts. We are all really happy with the outcome and all we have to do now is wait for the election - although on the basis of how our electoral collatoral looks now, it should be much easier!”
