all about you
You deserve to have headshots and branding photographs that reflect your image and highlight your brand, but more importantly that help you stand out from the crowd.
Whether you want photographs for your website, social media, advertising, marketing or castings, I want to capture you in a natural way without posing and pressure. My approach to your session is simple, warm and down-to-earth because I want you to feel totally at ease and comfortable.
I will guide you through your session with prompts and ideas but you can expect a more relaxed experience so I can capture you in as genuine a way as possible.
My sessions include a pre-shoot consultation with a deep dive, not just to find out what you want from your images and why, but to take time and care to really find out about you and get to know you. I want to find out what makes you unique, ensuring that every photograph tells your story with authenticity and depth.
I want your photographs to share your talent, your passion, your vision and your essence. I want to showcase who you are, as you are, so that everyone can see why they should choose YOU.
let everyone see you
My job is to help you uncover your own excellence and showcase it in all it's glory so that you feel seen and heard.
I want to provide you with something that is more than just a headshot or a branding photograph. I want to give you photographs that capture not just your image, but how you feel inside. I want to capture your spirit and for others to see it too.
Remember, you will never get a second chance to make a first impression. It's your unique personality and identity that sets you apart from everyone else. It's what you communicate to your audience about who you are that matters. Every detail counts and I'm here to capture them for you.
my process
01 fill out the form
Fill in my contact form by clicking here and I'll send you an email within 24 hours so we can arrange a phone call to discuss the finer details of what you would like from your session.
If you haven't received an email within 24 hours please check your spam and junk in case it's landed there.
02 book your session
Once you've decided to book your session a non-refundable session fee is required to secure your booking.
Please note the session fee does NOT include any images, digital or printed, and these are purchased separately after the shoot.
The session fee covers preparation, pre-shoot consultations, travel time, shooting, post-production & preparation of your images for viewing.
All sessions include travel to your home or chosen location within 10 miles of Manchester. (45p per mile if in excess)
03 photo time
The fun part! Every single session is unique to your needs and customised to your goals. By the time we meet we'll have a clear strategy in place from your questionnaire and our phone consultations. For branding sessions, we'll have photographic references and a shot list in place too. Although we will have a plan, I also know when to go with the flow. I find the best images can happen when you’re relaxed and feeling creative.
Depending on your needs, we will spend an easy hour or two together. We might shoot in one or two locations but everything will be agreed beforehand.
Once our session has ended I'll pack my bags and be on my merry way.
04 choose the images you love
I’ll lightly edit your images before sending you a private online gallery to review at your leisure. Simply choose your favourites and approximately 1-2 weeks later, you will receive a link to your fully edited images.
All purchased images from your gallery are available to download as high resolution digital images and come with print and personal use release so you can easily share them and also have them printed when and wherever you prefer.

FAQ's
Can you come to me for my headshot/branding session?
Headshot and personal branding sessions are bespoke to you so we will speak in depth on the phone beforehand and decide on the best location.
What should I wear for my headshot/branding session?
What you wear is extremely important for headshot and branding sessions, so it's really worth putting a lot of thought into it.
I can guide and advise you but most importantly you should choose clothes that not only suit you, but that you feel comfortable in.
Can I bring more than one outfit?
It's definitely a good idea to bring a couple of clothing options and depending on the session you have booked we can try different looks. It's also really important to make sure that clothes are clean and well ironed.
How long does a session last?
Depending on the session you have booked you session will either be one hour or two and a half hours. I only ever schedule one session per day, so you will never be rushed.
How long does it take to receive the final edited images?
I understand the anticipation of seeing your final images. My editing process typically takes approximately 1-2 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required.
How do I receive the digital images?
You receive high resolution digital images via a secure, online gallery. The number of images you receive depends on the package you choose.
What happens if I'm ill?
Please let me know as soon as possible if you are ill and we’ll simply re-arrange the session for another day. If you wish to cancel completely, cancellation fees apply.
What happens if I want to cancel completely?
Deposits are non-refundable or transferable in the event of cancellation by the Client.
