Fancy Feeling Seen?
Nicky Pattinson
I had always wanted to work with Nicky. I’d seen her talks, felt her presence, her energy is magnetic. Her truth is liberating. And yes, she is absolutely gorgeous.
So when Nicky contacted me just before Christmas 2025 to book a shoot, it honestly felt like Christmas had arrived early.
They say never meet your idols. But Nicky didn’t disappoint. If anything, I left admiring her even more.
She is deeply authentic, and when you are that rooted in who you are, your spark cannot be dimmed.
Nicky wanted fresh imagery as she begins touring the world with her new inspirational talk, “It Gets Better Later.” Imagery that reflects her power, her warmth, and the force she is in any room.

Jaimie Volkaerts
Jaimie came to me through a heartfelt referral; an artist ready to share the magic behind her canvases. Her work is a world of layers: sometimes it feels like standing in a garden at dawn, other times like peering into the soft, swirling edge of the cosmos.
Her home felt like a reflection of her art, warm, light-filled, and just a little bit otherworldly. We spent the day talking about art, nature, stories, and the way colours can carry us places. At one point, Jaimie began live-painting right in front of my camera; brushstrokes blooming like petals, blending into misty drifts of colour that felt half floral, half star-born. It was a moment that reminded me what it means to witness true creativity.
This wasn’t just a photoshoot, it was a day of connection. I captured photography and video that show Jaimie’s gentle spirit, her intuitive process, and the dreamlike worlds she brings to life on canvas.
"I spent a day with Ana on a branding shoot. Prior to the session Ana arranged a consultation with me to make sure we worked through the details of the session and location etc.
Ana has a a way of making you feel really comfortable and confident. I usually hate having my photos taken but Ana really put me at ease with her warm and vibrant personality and the result was a wonderful set of photographs that I absolutely love."

1 Mill Street
When 1 Mill Street was preparing to open its doors in November 2020, the world was holding its breath in the middle of a pandemic. It was a bold beginning; a space designed to bring people together, just as distance was becoming the new norm. At the same time, I was returning to photography after four years of maternity leave and a move from London to Warwickshire. Mill St. became my anchor; a place where my work and my sense of belonging found new life.
From the very first days even before the doors officially opened, I had the privilege of documenting Mill St.’s unfolding story. My camera has witnessed its growth, from the hush of the empty halls waiting for people, to the spark of launch day and the everyday faces of its members. didn’t just photograph a building; I photographed a living, breathing ecosystem of people doing meaningful work and finding connection in unexpected moments.
This body of work holds more than images; it holds a story of resilience, community, and creativity when we needed it most. I will always be grateful to 1 Mill Street for trusting me to see their beginnings through my lens, and for letting me capture what makes this place feel like home for so many.
"We have worked with Ana from the very start of our journey at 1 Mill Street. Her energy, enthusiasm and absolute expertise are a joy to behold. She is hugely creative, but has a bias for action, and we love working with her." Nigel Shanahan - Founder

Faye Hatton Coaching
Sometimes the universe sends you the right person at the right moment.
Faye and I first crossed paths at the school gates; two women balancing motherhood, ambition, and the urge to carve out more for ourselves and others.
When Faye launched her bold new coaching business, she knew her story couldn’t be told through generic headshots. She needed imagery as vibrant, unapologetic, and layered as she is; visuals that would reflect her vision of a world where confidence and creativity rewrite the rules.
Faye’s brand is a movement, an invitation to the brave ones ready to claim freedom from old stories and build meaningful legacies.
My role was to translate that spirit into photographs that feel alive: part manifesto, part mirror for her audience to see themselves as brave, fierce, and untamed. We played with light and shadow, softness and strength, colour and monochrome imagery that would last, timeless but electric.
Together we created a visual library that was true to her mission: to empower others to rewrite their story. It’s not just photography; it’s a declaration that you are the sign you’ve been waiting for.
"When I launched my new business, there was no one else I would have trusted with my branding and personal branding photography than Ana.
She’s a true creative—full of colour, authenticity, and energy. I knew she’d give 110% to truly understand both the brief and me as a person and business owner, so the visuals she created would genuinely reflect who I am and attract the right clients.
The entire process was vibrant and fun from start to finish, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Not only is the quality outstanding, but the volume of photography Ana delivered means I have a rich library of content that will last me a long time. It was a wise—and wonderfully colourful—investment."
