Photography Experience For Girls
Dedicated to girls being themselves, Frank & Bloom is a unique Surrey, Hampshire & Berkshire based photography experience for girls aged 4-18.
My aim is to provide a relaxed photography experience for girls of all types, enabling them to connect their personality with their visual identity by producing natural, unguarded and stunning images of who they truly are. Whatever their character, the girls will recognise that their identity isn’t about surface beauty, it’s so much more.
Amelie
The great thing about photographing 5 year olds is their unblemished innocence and freedom to just be themselves. During the shoot we chatted about how she wanted to be a singer on a stage when she was older. I even got a mini performance.
Anya
I found out Anya was artistic, kind-hearted and family orientated and how she enjoyed Football, Karate and loved Star Wars. Her one wish was that her cat, who she loved with all her heart, lived forever. Anya’s shoot was at three locations close by, including a nearby woodland and lake so she could show me her Karate moves.
Lily
Photographing Lily was such a blast. From the moment I met her I knew that her easy going, live for the moment nature was going to be amazing to capture. I met Lily a few weeks before her final GCSE exams and she was finding the pressure of it a bit too much. “I hate being forced to learn about things I don’t care about, like maths”, she said. She explained how she felt trapped in a cycle, not living the way she wanted to.

About
Photography has been a passion of mine since I was 10 and quickly became my source of artistic outlet. I am a member of the Guild of Professional Photographers and have won awards for my images.
I aim to capture a girl’s essence, giving her a photograph that screams “This is me”. With my passion for natural photography and dedicated to girls being themselves, Frank & Bloom candidly focuses on a girl’s personality in a relaxed environment where she can be herself.
Photography Experience
I create timeless images that you will be proud to display in your home, giving girls a visual reminder everyday of who they are and why they are loved. An initial questionnaire and pre-session consultation to discuss your girl’s personality underpins the focus of a girl’s photoshoot and chosen locations. During the photoshoot I will combine gently posed shots along with capturing spontaneous, unguarded moments as they unfold.

Feedback from clients
"Jo finds out what the girl is actually about and then photographs them in their element, capturing the character of them, rather than just making it about 'prettying' them up. As you can see and hopefully what our girls will see is the energy within us all and the inner light that is in itself more beautiful and powerful than any magazine cover or Barbie doll.”

“Jo did a shoot for my daughter who has zero confidence in herself, but right from the start Jo put her at ease, taking her through the shoot stage by stage. By the end of the day she was buzzing. As for the photos, all I can say is "stunning" and the action shots blew me away! Anya loved all of them, especially the ones of her and her mog. If you want a photographer that captures truly amazing photos and is able to put the child at ease from the start, you won't find better.”
”Heidi
“Lily is undeniably IN these pictures; beyond just being beautiful but being HER. It is so refreshing to see photos of her that aren't pouting or posing and I love that now and in the future she will be able to see her 16 year old self fully open and free. We all felt instantly comfortable and at ease with you which meant we were able to truly enjoy the experience as a whole without any kind of pretence.”
”Melanie
“Jo is an absolute natural with kids and has a natural affinity with them. She manages to make them feel extremely comfortable in no time, and they tend to fall in love with her due to her easy-going, fun, friendly and motherly nature, which makes them feel relaxed and ensures they forget there’s a camera there. This relaxing situation enables Jo to capture your child’s true and beautiful essence."
”Roda
"I felt more myself & comfortable knowing you already knew a lot about me. The photos have really boosted my confidence about myself because it shows the ‘real me!"
”Eloise, 13
"Amelie absolutely loved doing the shoot and she wanted to go back and do it all again! You ‘saw’ Amelie for who she actually was and recorded her personality in a completely natural environment.”
”Kellie
"I cannot help but smile every time I catch a glimpse of one of the photos as they seem to perfectly capture my daughter’s cheeky, beautiful and funny soul in every picture! I love every single photo and I’m already planning to book in my youngest daughter next. Jo, thank you for a gorgeous afternoon and the most beautiful pictures of Imani.”
