Samantha Marcham grew up in Wolverhampton but now lives in Bridgnorth with her nine-year-old twins Max and Olivia.
She says it was taking photos of the twins which encouraged her to start the business.
She now takes photos for model portfolios as well as popular boudoir pictures, which she says are in demand from brides and women who want to give their partner the perfect present for their birthday, Christmas and especially Valentine's Day.
"Women love the boudoir pictures as it shows them at their most glamorous," says Samantha, 44.
"I also love taking pictures of children and pets, which helps as I have a Chihuahua dog called Lola, a Bengal cat called Oscar and a ginger cat named Jasper." Samantha, who was Miss Wolves in 1989 and 1990 as well as being a model for 12 years, says she prefers being the one to take the pictures.
"I owned a successful model and promotion agency for 10 years and started taking photos for clients, but then it was just a hobby," says Samantha.
"I wanted to spend more time with Max and Olivia and so two years ago I sold the model agency."
