Brand Photography vs. Stock Photography: What Tells Your Real Story?
There’s a quiet but important difference between imagery that simply fills space… and imagery that speaks
The Shoot Circle
A year of soulful visibility
This is for the heart-led business owner who wants to be seen. Gently. Authentically. Month by month.
If you’ve been longing for beautiful, aligned images to share, but a full brand shoot feels out of reach right now, or you need extra people in your images, the Shoot Circle offers a spacious, supportive way to build your visual identity over time.
You’ll join a group of like-minded women, meeting in beautiful locations across the North West, from woodland and water to urban corners with character. Each month, you’ll receive a short but powerful shoot, designed to capture the real you in all your nuance and depth.
No overwhelm. No pressure.
Just honest, evolving imagery that grows with your business.
What’s included
A mini photoshoot every month for 12 months, in a different locations around Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire or North Wales
Five professionally edited images each month for you to download and use on your website, social media, and beyond
A private group space (on Facebook) to share ideas, feel supported, and connect with others on the same path
A shared shoot with other women – a chance to cheer each other on, exchange ideas and build confidence
Flexible image options – if you can’t make a date, you’ll receive 5 extra images from a future or past shoot

Branding Shoots & Services
Beautiful and authentic images that speak to your ideal client and elevate your brand.
Branding Photo Shoots
In a time when your online presence is so important, having strong brand imagery for your website and social media will really help set you apart. Beautiful, unique personal brand photography helps your potential clients to understand who you are and to connect with you.
Tell The Story Of Your Brand
We will work together to tailor the session to exactly what you need. I’ll capture images of who you are and what you do – candid relaxed portraits, flat lays of your products, shots of your workspace. Together we will capture beautiful, light-infused images that convey the essence of your brand. Perfect for refreshing your website and keeping your social media up to date.
Trust The Process
Ever wondered what happens before, during & after a full branding photo shoot? I have a trusty process that never fails.
1
Coffee Date
We will book in a coffee meeting over zoom to get to know each other and chat about your business and your future plans. I can explain the process to you.
2
The Official Bit
Once we agree it’s a fit, I will send over all the paperwork and invoice. We will put the shoot day in the diary to work towards.
3
The Planning Process
I will send over my workbook for you to fill in and we will work together on a moodboard.
4
Final Plans
In the run up to the shoot day we will catch up again to go over your workbook, finalise shoot ideas, outfits, props, locations and timing.
5
Shoot Day
The shoot itself is very relaxed, you will know by then what images / looks you want. My super power is helping people relax in front of the camera so it will be fun!
6
Get Visible
You will receive your images within 10 days of the shoot, fully edited and presented in an online gallery for you to download and start using straight away.
ACCESS EXPERTISE
If you would like to try out a Subscription Shoot, you can book a one off trial to see what it is all about. Use the link below to book and have a chat with me to help you prepare.
Need Inspiration?
Take a look through some of my branding shoots for inspiration.
All of these shoots followed my trusted process.
The shoot subscription is never going to be a replacement for a full branding shoot where we spend a lot of time before the shoot helping you get really clear on what your brand is all about, but is a perfect entry point into personal branding. The subscription will allow you to replace the selfies and holiday snaps and really elevate your brand.
