I work with ambitious small business owners to create contemporary images that clearly communicate your values and personality and in turn, grow your business. I focus on capturing the 'human' aspect of business photography; you, your team and your clients. 

​

But why create professional photographs for your business?

​

• Clients work with us and customers buy from us for three key reasons; they trust us, they feel safe and they think we're credible. Photos can help with all these things!

​

• It sounds like an obvious one, but it shows our clients what we look like. This is especially important for service-based businesses, but even if you don't have direct contact with your customers, showing your face can really help as people buy from people. 

​

• Photos can bring your business' story alive! Stories are powerful. We humans are wired to respond to them as they help us to relate to each other. 

​

• Professional photos are high quality so just look better. Social platforms compress the images which leads to a slight loss of quality, so making sure they looks great to begin with means it won't be as noticeable. 

​

• It shows that you're serious about your business. I mean you know you are, but if you have great photos on your socials and website, your clients can be more confident of that too. 

​

• Also if you go for the branding package, you'll have loads of photos to choose from in the months to come, meaning you won't have to scrabble around for stock images (which let's face it, aren't bespoke for your business anyway). 

'Ikigai' is a fabulous Japanese word that means essentially, 'the things that make us tick'. I aim for authentic images, which convey as much as possible about you and your business; your interests, personality and 'ikigai'. Each of us is unique and this is what I enjoy capturing.  These images will offer your customers a greater insight into your business and your personality, passions and drivers. 

​

I offer bespoke business photography packages. I meet with you first, to discuss your specific needs and to agree the aspects of your work that you would like represented. We may agree that I visit you at work over several sessions, meetings and appointments. We will also discuss your business and brand and how we can best convey your values, passions and interests through your pictures.

Are you feeling apprehensive about your shoot? Here are some things that will hopefully reassure you.

When booking, please allow up to 3 weeks for your final edited images to reach you. The post-processing bit can take some time. Thanks.
