It's photography for small businesses owners and solo entrepreneurs, with a strong focus on storytelling. The images from a personal branding session will not only show the face behind the brand, but also your personality, style and your passions. In addition to that, it'll show more about your business - with behind the scenes shots, your products and/or services in use, your team (if you have one), your brand's aesthetic and it's overall vibe. All of this helps your audience know exactly who your ideal client is, meaning you'll attract more of them!

The times they are a-chagin'. In today’s image-driven world, being your own brand is likely to bring you more success, than staying in the shadows. Seeing more of you and your business helps to build trust, which leads to increased conversions. From the first impressions on an about page, to the post on Insta - the images you put out are the first touchpoint for any online interaction. They need to be high-end, professional and get your message across in a split second. (1/10th of a second to be precise!)

I mean, a selfie is probably better than nothing! But if you want to be taken seriously and come across as the authority in your niche, then professional and high-end imagery is the way to go. Remember, it's not just about the higher picture quality, it's about having a photographer who can actually tell your brand story, make you look and feel great, guide and direct you and bring your brand vision to life. Plus, coming from a photographer who has tried just taking self-portraits - it's a hell of a lot quicker and easier to hire someone to do it for you!

We can find a location that's on-brand and represents you. It may be outside, at a hotel, a restaurant, a museum, an art gallery or a shop. Think outside the box! Or you could hire somewhere like a home, venue or studio. I can help you with finding the perfect spot.

You can pretty much use the photos however you like. They're often used for your website, social media, advertising and marketing materials. But, you can also allow third parties to use them for things like book covers and magazine and newspaper features etc. The only thing you can't do is sell your images.

Your images will be ready to download after a maximum of 4 weeks.

Firstly, I feel ya. As someone who emulates Chandler from F.R.I.E.N.D.S when a camera is pointed in my direction, I know how scary and uncomfortable it can feel. But panic not - awkward people are my speciality! As you'll see from my portfolio, everyone looks happy and relaxed - yet they were all super nervous to begin with. It's totally normal. You've just gotta trust me when I say that I can get great photos out of even the most camera shy of people!

It depends on you and your brand and business. But, as a general rule of thumb, I suggest a casual outfit, a smart-casual outfit and a smart outfit. The more outfit combos, the better. We want lots of varied content. Think about your audience and the message you want to put across. Consider your outfit colours - do you want them to be neutral, or do you want them to compliment your brand colours? Is your brand minimalistic and chic? Or is it more colourful and playful? Also consider the location - you don't wanna clash or blend into your background.

Yes and yes! You'll be sent an online gallery (the images will have a watermark initially), from there you can select your included images and choose to purchase any more if you wish.

I suggest booking in your shoot at least a month in advance. This gives us both enough time to brainstorm and organise the perfect shoot. I can do shoots at shorter notice if needed, just bear in mind that I can get booked anywhere up to 6 months in advance. You'll receive your images no later than 4 weeks after our shoot, so please plan accordingly.

Planning is key! Together, we will come up with a shot list, props list, outfit options and location ideas. I have this all in writing which I bring along to our shoot. This means we won't forget anything and can quickly move from one thing to the next. I'm also very intentional with my shooting, meaning I don't spend ages getting just the one shot.

Yes, the photos are all edited in my signature style. I include basic spot removal, subtle skin smoothing, eye sharpening and teeth whitening.
Retouching and digital manipulation is available at an extra cost.
If you already have a specific editing style that you use and would like to edit your own photos, I can send you the images unedited.

Yes, you'll receive your images in low resolution (which work best for your social media and website) and in high resolution, (best for printing).

You don't have to, but it means an awful lot to me when you do! I get a lot of my business in this way, so if someone books me and says they found me through you, I class it as a referral and you'll receive a gift!

Simply send me an enquiry on my 'Book Now' page. A 25% deposit and a signed contract secures your date and booking. The remaining balance is due on the day of the shoot.
Or, if you want to book the 'Biannual Branding' shoot, it's a signed contract and 4 instalments of £500.

Head to my 'Book Now' page and send me a message so we can have a chat and get you booked in.
