Photographer Tianna J Williams
1 RecommendationsTianna was working as a midwife.
Photography was a self-taught hobby.
But having a family of her own meant she wanted flexibility that midwifery simply couldn’t give her. So she helped bring her own business into the world instead.
The communities she found online have given her confidence, knowledge and referrals.
As a maternity & newborn photographer she’s fully focussing on the ‘client experience’. Through learning, investing and taking bigger steps - now her business is growing up.
