Why work with me?
​
My Google reviews consistently demonstrate that I'm proud to say I have the ability to put people at ease in front of the camera. Even the most camera shy amongst us!
​
I have an extensive background in helping big household name brands to work out who their core target audience is and how best to reach them through different media channels and I use all this expertise to bring something unique to my Brand Photography and Headshot work.
A Bit About Me
Qualification & Passion: My passion for photography began long before my BA in Photography and Film. I've been taking photos for as long as I can remember. I really love the feeling I get from capturing a great moment, emotion or stunning visual. I am also a member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.
Experience: Nearly two decades of experience in London media and communications agencies, working with brands on their marketing and communications strategies has been invaluable learning. It has enabled me to help individuals work out what their true objective is from any piece of imagery or communication.
Transparency: Keeping my pricing clear from the outset, I like to get to know you and keep our session relaxed and fun, so that you feel comfortable and the result is really beautiful images. Pricing transparency is important to me. A clear pricing structure that enables you to know what the overall cost is for the package you want from the moment we start working together.
Working together with you: A welcoming, informal shoot with direction from me and input from you, preceded by a getting-to-know-each-other session that serves two purposes: It helps me work out what kind of imagery you will love and helps you to understand what to expect from the day, be clear on my pricing and feel relaxed and confident that my passion for photography means I can create beautiful images that you can enjoy for years to come.

How I Can Help You
Small business owners: Starting with pre shoot video consultations to determine your brand's core target audience, key messaging and marketing objectives, I help small business owners to increase their visibility through coherent brand imagery within their communications. My Personal Branding Packages offer a variety of imagery for use across multiple platforms: website, social media channels, printed materials and more. I can come to your home, place of work, or preferred location to capture you doing what you do, in multiple locations / outfits and communicating that perfect bit of individual personality that speaks to your target audience.
Companies: I offer Business Branding services that include Company Headshots and Team Headshots, Branding Imagery, Team Shoots, Office Environment and more, depending your brief. In my pre shoot consultation we'll discuss your brand attributes, key messaging and target audience to ensure all your imagery delivers against core criteria.
Families: My family photography has a relaxed style and I can work in your home, my studio or on location delivering beautiful imagery of those treasured family moments. Wall Art, framing and album options offer add ons to my packages to ensure your imagery is presented in the way that works for you.
Individuals: My 40+ 5 star reviews on Google show that I am able to put even the least comfortable at ease in front of the camera, ensure they have a great experience and come away with headshots, personal brand photography or family photography that they love. I pride myself in working to build a rapport with my clients, to ensure they are comfortable and confident throughout their shoot and that's how we get the natural expressions that result in photography my clients love.
