working with me isn't just about the photos
It’s about your memories, the things and people you hold dear. It’s about you and the best way we can document this little slice of your life. So while my main job might look like pressing a button, there’s so much more you’ll get in working with me. My skills to tell stories, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and let you be in the moment. My knowledge about fashion, colours and art. And my talent – honed over years of travelling the world – to help you find the right location to document your story. If this is what you’re looking for in a photographer, I can’t wait to hear from you.
this is about the quiet beauty in your life
Quiet Mornings Photography was created from the firm belief that you are already interesting enough. You don’t need to be posed, follow trends or do what you think is expected, because those things will erase every ounce of what makes you unique. So here we do something different: we’re going to lean into your personality and document a piece of your actual life: the things you love doing, the way you hold your favourite person, or something that’s truly important to you. Unapologetic and one-of-a-kind.
I'm Hester
the person behind the camera
pronouns: she/her
I start my days in the garden with my bunnies, I collect books, grow flowers, create recipes and write stories about life, most days I’m too unbothered to tame my wild curls or apply makeup, I love the theatre and cinema, the feel of textures and fabrics and the smell of nature after heavy rain, I enjoy exploring new places and once travelled the world for eight months with my great love, my photography is heavily influenced by films and series about life, I light a candle when I work at my desk, was given my first camera in 1997, and firmly believe you should print your photos.
