the
SURREY BRAND AND HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHER
As an experienced Surrey Headshot Photographer I know that now is the perfect time to step into the limelight and show the world the very best version of you.
BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY & FILM THAT SHOWS THE REAL YOU
Whether you need a fresh headshot for LinkedIn or a full library of brand imagery for your website & marketing collateral – beautiful lifestyle brand imagery, showing who you are & what you do, helps attract your perfect client.
Imagine for a moment what a collection of stunning photos could do for your business & your confidence. Elevate your website, grow your social following & tell your story directly to the people you most want to work with. I help Surrey coaches, creatives and wellness experts show the story of their brands through natural photography and film.

PHOTOGRAPHY THAT FEELS LIKE A CHAT NOT A PHOTOSHOOT
I have photographed hundreds of businesses of all shapes and sizes across Surrey. I am chatty and relaxed, which helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
You might think you are not photogenic, or not confident enough, or not the right kind of person for a brand shoot. You are. I will find the most flattering light, help you relax, and I promise it will be a lot more fun than you are expecting.
I love supporting Surrey small businesses and helping people grow in confidence. We discover your brand’s beautiful visual identity and bring it to life together. At your pace. On your terms.

HOW I WORK – TOGETHER AT YOUR PACE
We do this together. Slowly. When the time is right. Perhaps over a coffee in Guildford, Surrey. Once your brand identity & colours are in place we build a mood board. It doesn’t need to be polished or refined. You can leave that bit to me. I love working with creative people & take the time to really understand you & your business – what you love, what you don’t.
Having studied business management, being a business founder and also an expert photographer – having photographed thousands of business owners in the last 10 years – I have the skills to help you elevate your brand. I’ll hold your hand throughout the process; help you decide what to wear, discover simple elegant props, identify great local Surrey shoot locations to suit your brand & put you in touch with the most amazing stylists, designers & makeup artists.

ADD CINEMATIC FILM TO YOUR BRAND SHOOT
A short video of you doing what you love, showing your energy and passion, helps catch your clients attention and hold it.
It works beautifully as a website header, a social media reel or a simple, powerful introduction to who you are.
Brand film snippets are included in all sessions (3 in the mini shoot, 5 per hour in the full brand shoot). A full one-minute cinematic film is available as an add-on for £395.

SHOOT DAY – YOUR SPARK, CAPTURED
I capture the very essence of your brand. Your spark, talents and all the little details. The real you.
Choosing the right place for your shoot is key. I have a list of great locations throughout the Surrey area: wellness offices in Guildford, co-working space in Godalming, Greenhouses in Farnham, White walls in Cobham. The list goes on.
More often than not your home is the best place for a shoot. I think nothing of clearing an area and styling it to suit your brand. All part of the service!
Photographing you in stunning natural light is far more important to me than striking a ‘model like’ pose. I’ll really help you with this. Connection & emotion is my everything – so throughout the shoot I will check in with you to ensure I am recording images you love. Pictures that will help you connect with your type of people. Your dream clients will be desperate to work with you.
I take my job very seriously and have trained with some of the best photographers in the world. I have won a number of awards for my photography and have been featured in world wide publications.
Getting the right shots is so important to me, as I want you to fall head over heels in love with your pictures.
Can you imagine what it feels like to have a collection of beautiful photos to update your website and share on your social channels?
Well let’s get cracking!
