A woman who left her job to care for her newborn son after he was diagnosed with a rare condition has won an award for her wedding photography business.
Georgia Anne, from Wolverhampton, left her job at a local engineering company during maternity leave after her son was diagnosed with craniosynostosis, external, where a baby’s skull does not grow properly and their head becomes an unusual shape.
Despite having no studio, she decided to start her own business, Georgia Anne Photography, and began travelling across the UK to photograph weddings.
She said it felt “incredibly surreal” to win Photography and Videography Studio of the Year at this year’s Business Awards UK.
“I didn’t begin with a huge investment, industry connections or some big plan to build an award-winning photography business,” she added.
“I was a mum who needed to find a way of working that meant I could still be there for my son during a really uncertain time in our lives.”
