Marie Jean Project: Bringing Beautiful Bespoke Photos Within Everyone’s Reach

As a photographer passionate about capturing life’s most meaningful moments, I’m thrilled to announce an upcoming project very close to my heart — inspired by my late mum, Marie Jean.

Marie Jean was more than just my mother; she was my greatest supporter and my inspiration. Her warmth, kindness, and belief in helping others have stayed with me every day. After losing her, I wanted to create something that would honour her memory and reflect the compassion she showed throughout her life.

That’s why I’m excited to announce a new initiative aimed at helping people who want beautiful, bespoke photography but may have limited access to these kinds of privilege/opportunities. Too often, the experience of professional photography feels out of reach due to cost, yet everyone deserves to have their story told through images that are personal, thoughtful, and crafted just for them.

This project will provide affordable and sponsored photo sessions for individuals and families who might otherwise miss out on this opportunity. Whether it’s a milestone, a family portrait, or simply a moment to celebrate self-expression, my goal is to make bespoke photography accessible to all.

[Optional but this may be a good idea] Partnering with local community organizations, (name of org), we’ll provide tailored photo experiences that celebrate life’s milestones, everyday beauty, and personal journeys — all while honouring the spirit of Marie Jean, whose legacy inspires this work.

Follow me at @myportraiture on Instagram for updates and launch details. I’m incredibly excited to share this opportunity with our community and to continue creating memories that last a lifetime.

Stay tuned for more information, and thank you for supporting this heartfelt tribute to my mum. I love you, Mum.
