They’re bringing the glamorous world of modelling to the heart of Huddersfield.

Business partners Lauren Crainer and Jane Earnshaw have launched Chique Photography and Makeover with a studio at St George’s Square – combining Lauren’s photography skills with Jane’s expertise in make-up to transform their customers into models and create a stunning portfolio of pictures for them.

Lauren and Jane are also backed by a team of professional make-up artists and female creative photographers to help clients “escape from the everyday by creating a stunning new look”.

Lauren, who lives at Moldgreen, also has her own photography business specialising in wedding and portrait photography while Jane, who lives at Shepley, previous operated a beauty salon in Wetherby for 15 years and taught beauty therapy. She also went back to college to study theatrical make-up.

Now they are helping people look their brightest and best – whether it be family groups, mother-and-daughter photos, couples, children’s parties, vintage or hen parties.

The new business staged a launch night with special offers, live shoots, studio tours, raffles, champagne and entertainment which also raised funds for Chique’s chosen charity, One Good Turn.
