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.<\/p>\n

Georgia Anne, from Wolverhampton, left her job at a local engineering company during maternity leave after her son was diagnosed with craniosynostosis, external<\/a>, where a baby’s skull does not grow properly and their head becomes an unusual shape.<\/p>\n

Despite having no studio, she decided to start her own business, Georgia Anne Photography, and began travelling across the UK to photograph weddings.<\/p>\n

She said it felt “incredibly surreal” to win Photography and Videography Studio of the Year at this year’s Business Awards UK.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t begin with a huge investment, industry connections or some big plan to build an award-winning photography business,” she added. <\/p>\n
