    Kirsty Northover is a mum and the founder of Kirsty Northover Photography.

However, the business has grown and developed since the early days to include personal branding as well. 

    As a photographer, Kirsty wants to capture the real essence of her clients and convey their amazing story through the images she takes. She creates images that bring together form, mood, emotion and location. Her images are stunning, from newborn and family to personal branding photographs, replaying the story through photography.

About What the Mum!

From the publisher's feed

Being a mum is hard. It doesn't come with a manual. Just because we're mum it doesn't mean we have all the answers. We are doing the best we can with what we know, and at times yes we are just making it up.
