About Ginny - the girl behind the camera and brains behind Gorgeous You Photography & Coaching
Whether it’s boudoir photography to make you feel empowered and body confident or some personal branding portraits to increase visibility in your business and attract your ideal clients; a lifestyle portrait shoot in your favourite hangout to attract your soulmate or a confidence-boosting portrait shoot to celebrate a life journey you’ve been on; I encourage and nurture my clients to ensure you feel totally relaxed and achieve not just a picture you’re proud of, but an improved mindset of seeing yourself for the better, and even positively changing your life in the process.
I’m Ginny Marsh – a certified body confidence & wellbeing coach and award-winning portrait photographer based in the UK. I’m all about feeling good and accepting (and loving) ourselves on a deeper level than just our appearance.
Boosting body confidence and empowering women to feel like a Goddess.…
This is because I was once like most of my clients – hating having my photo taken (I’d usually pull a silly face due to embarrassment) and hating how I looked in photos, criticising the tiniest of details in my appearance. I was stuck in my head and disconnected from my body.
I’m living proof that you can overcome being camera shy, and not only be confident at having your photo taken, but actually love seeing yourself in photos (yes, seriously!), and even change your life as a result.
For over 14 years I’ve been helping my clients step out of their everyday life, take time just for them, and rediscover aspects of themselves they haven’t seen in ages – if ever.
My goal is to not only provide you with stunning images where you look and feel your best, but to kickstart a personal journey of authentic confidence and self-worth.
In 2017 I reached burnout. I was working 7 days a week, shooting weddings as well as building the portrait side of my business, whilst mediating my parents through a divorce, and my body forced me to stop. It was the wake-up call I needed to change the way I saw myself and my business for the better. I learned how to put myself and my health first, and learned to love myself (which wasn’t easy, but I got there!). Then in 2020, I trained as a Body Confidence and Wellbeing Coach with the IBCC (Institute for Body Confidence Coaching), and discovered a whole new conscious way of being…
Our bodies aren’t just made up of the physical body… there’s our mindset, emotions, energy and our spiritual self to consider. And a lot more to feel grateful for, and ways of feeling happy, than we realise!
I now help people to feel good and love who they are so that they can confidently show up in their business and relationships, attract more of what they want, and live more joyfully.
As women, we don’t often get the opportunity to feel like the centre of attention; in fact, we often shy away from it (especially if you’re an introvert, like me!). Now is the time to feel empowered, realise how important it is to treat yourself and invest in ‘you.’ Because when you’re your best self, others around you will also reap the rewards.
“Gratitude can transform any situation. It alters your vibration, moving you from negative energy, to positive”
– Oprah Winfrey
In my quest to study energy and feel good, I also trained as a Reiki practitioner (level 2 & Angelic Reiki), then as a Cacao Ceremony Facilitator, teaching people about the magical effects of this superfood plant medicine (Cacao is essentially raw chocolate with amazing health benefits and healing properties), and more recently, as a Conscious Dance Facilitator. I love helping people to connect with their body and heart energy and develop their spiritual practice.
In my spare time, I love to dance, practice yoga and meditation, and on a weekend you’ll usually find me helping facilitate dances at Ecstatic Dance Yorkshire, spending time with my partner and step-children, wild swimming or walking in nature.
I also love hosting and going to retreats and festivals!
I live in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, and regularly travel back to Farnham, Surrey, where I’m from. I travel nationally for photoshoots and events – so wherever you’re based, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
Let’s work together to create the most beautiful photos you’ve ever seen of yourself and a new, confident and empowered version of you.
