Portraiture

1 / 5

Yaanah Yakana

“What drew me to the session was the creative aspect of it.”

A vibrant, personality-led editorial exploring movement, expression and playful styling. Bold yellow tones, relaxed streetwear and exaggerated poses bring a fresh, energetic contrast to Yaanah's first look, capturing a more spontaneous side of her personality.

On the experience:

“It was a lot better than what I expected. A lot of nerves were calmed.”

“I would tell [someone considering booking a portrait session] that they do not need to worry at all! Kate is lovely and welcoming and you really do feel at your best!”
