A local photographer has won recognition as a ‘Rising Star’ having won a Business Awards UK category.

Once lockdown was ‘lifted’, she attended workshops and model studio days at Inspire Studios in Churchfields, where she gained more experience and confidence behind the lens.

Specialising in portraits, boudoir and children's themed photoshoots including ‘festive minis’ which she is running until 18th December, Charlene also photographs events including weddings and private events.

Charlene says, "I feel extremely proud to have achieved this award, I couldn't believe it when I won! I have been working very hard to build my exposure and deliver beautiful images that people can cherish."
