Arike, an esteemed educator, decided to mark her 50th year with a series of vibrant, fun, and colorful portraits that reflect her lively personality.

We embarked on this memorable photoshoot adventure, capturing her essence both in the comfort of my West London studio and amidst the enchanting beauty of Kew Gardens.

“love love love can’t believe how great they are! Thanks, thanks, thanks, Serena!”
