Madi Du Plessis soulful headshots reviews

“I feel really lucky to have worked with Emma for my headshot session. She was gracious and patient, helping me meet myself through the emotion and vulnerability that was rising up on that particular day. 

I felt so grateful when looking through the gallery she provided, because I saw myself in the photos. They felt honest. I think this genuinely would not have been possible without Emma’s emotional sensitivity, technical skills and the way in which she brings this stabilising and clarifying energy into the room for you to find yourself within.

Based on my experience from the beginning of the process to the very end, I would highly recommend Emma’s services. Her work is expressed with spirit, clarity, authenticity and wisdom. These values were exactly what I was looking for when I booked in with her, and I am grateful to say these are my headshots.”

Brett Robin Wood

“Emma… has a stunning blend of technical expertise and warm heart, which made for a very effective and enjoyable photo shoot. Not only that, the end to end process, from first conversations, to shoot, to selection process, was so impressively managed. Most importantly, the photos were everything I’d aimed for. Highly recommended.”

“There’s something very special about Emma. Em is a whip smart woman, deeply empathic and has an understanding and sensitivity that creates a magical field of creativity and connection that’s well beyond the point-and-shoot of a camera.

Em has a genuine interest in her clients and who their clients, audience, or customers are.  For me, Emma helped uncover the essence of what it is I was trying to create and in turn so beautifully captured the essence of my service-based business.

Emma created an environment that was so comfortable, nurturing and creative and I felt really supported and guided in the entire process. Em easily creates this field of safety, connection and encouragement and her playful, curious and inquisitive nature relieved any stress I had about having my photos taken for my business.

I couldn’t recommend Emma enough for anyone who wants to capture the essence of their heartfelt work in the world.”

Rachel Leigh

“The moment I arrived for my shoot with Emma I felt such ease, Emma has such a beautiful grounded energy, and such a talented eye for capturing the light within.  We had such a fun time together, I was very relaxed and felt very comfortable in Emma’s presence.

Thank you for being such a gem, so much patience and care throughout!  Highly recommend.”

“Working with Emma on a creative dance shoot was a delight! She utilized her tremendous talent and skills to capture moments within movement. Emma made use of the space, working with beautiful natural light.  

I highly recommend Emma and her wonderful work.”

Vanessa Madrid

“Emma is a true talent! She has a wonderful way to communicate & direct the shots, but always ensuring you feel confident! I loved working with Emma & would highly recommend anyone that needs portrait shots to work with her.

As a fellow actor, she has a great way of helping you get into character which then produces a beautiful shot, full of depth & life. Emma is a soft & kind soul, which really makes you feel comfortable to be around her & to collaborate on ideas. 

I am more than happy with how our two shoots have turned out & will definitely book Emma again for when I need a fresh set of shots.

Emma is under-ratedly the best in the business for headshots.”

“I had a great experience with Emma and Your Inner Light Photography. I did a branding shoot with her for a new business I’m launching.

Emma asked really thoughtful questions so we’d get lots of shots to use in a variety of places. She also gave great recommendations for shoot locations.

On the day of, she made me feel so comfortable. Not awkward at all, like with some other photographers. Plus, the results are fantastic. I definitely recommend her!”

Christie Jordee

“I really wanted a real, natural, relaxed headshot, but as I’m not used to being in front of the cameras, Emma had her work cut out for her.  She made me feel so at ease, and you see that in my photos.

The other thing I LOVED is no flashes, all natural lighting and out about in the local neighbourhood with brilliant textured backgrounds.  Totally would recommend.”

Iris

“Oh my gosh.  We are blown away.  Wow.  WOW.  We love them.  You’ve captured so much story.  And her inner light. We are very grateful for the positive experience she has with you.

You are a magician, creating such a safe, creative space for play and discovery. You connect with kids in the most authentic and beautiful way, allowing the same to emanate from them.”

“Emma’s authenticity begets authenticity as she makes one feel safe, valued, and inspired.  The results speak for themselves.

Thank you to Emma and Your Inner Light Photography.”

Monica O'Brien, Creative Edge Coaching

“Over the years I’ve often needed headshots or photographs taken of myself or people I have worked with.  More often than not, it’s been a stressful experience, so when I recently engaged Emma to do some new pics for me, I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience.  Not only did Emma enable me to feel relaxed, but she also delivered photographs that I can actually use!

Emma is an artist.  She has that unique ability to capture the essence of her subject in a way that resonates authentically.

I highly recommend Emma of Your Inner Light Photography.  (PS. Thank you, Emma, for making this middle-aged woman look half decent. :-))”
