I’m Chantelle
wife, mum of 2 boys, hairdresser, and photographer. I love people, being creative, and keeping things fun. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually editing, doing hair, or just juggling life with my family and the never ending to do list. This is normally done with coffee in hand.... or cheeky glass of wine.


I look forward to hearing from you...
