the
SURREY BRAND 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. See below. Yep. That’s me. Your Guildford Brand Photographer.
Whether you have a LinkedIn account or run a small empire – beautiful lifestyle brand imagery, showing who you are and 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, influence social following and tell your story directly to your target audience. I help Surrey creative business owners, wellness experts, coaches & influencers show the story of their brands through beautiful natural photography & film.

YOU + ME
I have photographed hundreds of Surrey businesses and all shapes and sizes. I’m chatty and relaxed, which helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I have been made to feel incredibly awkward by a brand photographer – so you can trust me not to do the same to you. I encourage the most nervous of people to get in touch. It will be fun. I promise. You may think you are not photogenic. Not pretty enough, stylish enough, skinny enough. But you are – you are enough. I will find the most flattering poses and light.
I promise.
I love supporting Surrey small businesses – helping you grow in confidence. We discover your brands beautiful visual identity. Bring it to life. This is the key to delivering collections of imagery you will love and be proud to have on your website.

HOW I WORK
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 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.

BRAND FILM
An optional add on to your Surrey brand shoot is a cinematic film. A short video, or collection of clips, of you, doing what you love, showing your energy and passion, helps catch your clients attention. And hold it for a while.
It brings your brand to life and can be used as scroll overs on your website, social media & reels.
04.
SHOOT DAY
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!

I’m a little nervous about having my photos taken but Hester helped me relax. She found the most brilliant Surrey locations and helped me plan my clothes and props. During the shoot she checked I was happy and produced the most brilliant collection of photos & mini films.

Oh wow. I LOVE the photos so much. You have turned a blank canvas into the most beautiful backdrop for my shoot. And you have no idea how good it feels to have a library of photos at my fingertips. Posting on my social media channels has never been so easy.
