Q: Do I need to get my hair and makeup professionally done?

This is completely up to you. My style is very much about real people so most of my clients tend to do their own hair and make-up – after all they want to feel and look like them! We are not in a studio, so you don’t need extra make-up to compensate for huge lighting!

Q: Can I use my own location for the shoot?

Absolutely! We can shoot at your preferred location, whether it's your office, a specific venue, or an outdoor setting. My only caveat is making sure we have enough light and space to achieve the look and style you need for your brand.

Q: How do I choose the right location for my business brand photoshoot?

Choosing the right location depends very much on your business – what your target clients are, where you usually work from, your style and your brand. Think about places that showcase your brand’s style, like your office, a local hotel or workspace, or a beautiful outdoor setting. I have a rolodex of wonderful locations in Surrey and we will plan this together during the Focus part of your package, to find the location/s that align with your vision.

Q: Do you have a studio?

No, I am location based as I think this is how you get the best, most natural photos that help you to build genuine relationships with your target audience.

Q: How long does a typical brand shoot last?

The duration depends on what photos you need, how many themes and locations we are covering, if you have clients in your shoot and which package you have booked to cover this. My shoots are usually either an hour or three hours in length. And it goes by in an absolute flash! We'll talk through the shoot time that will work best for you during our initial call.

Q: How can I prepare for my brand photoshoot?

Don’t worry, I take you through everything to prepare during the Focus phase the process. I will help you to think about and plan the outfits, props, and locations that best represent your brand. You will complete a Brand Vision Workbook and Pinterest Mood Board and we’ll bring it altogether during our Creativity Call, to ensure everything is aligned with your brand and vision.

Q: I’m ready to book, what should I do?

It’s really simple, just complete the Registration Form and I will then get in touch to check we are the right fit and to discuss the package type and date for your shoot. Or feel free to give me a call or drop me an email with any questions.

Q: How far in advance should I book?

I would suggest a minimum of 3 weeks or up to 6 weeks if possible. This gives you enough time to steadily work through the Focus planning process; securing a location, any ‘clients’ to be in the shoot, choosing outfits and getting prepared and excited, without becoming overwhelmed. Running a business can be busy enough!
