I got to capture the lovely Emily recently to create some branding images for her health and wellbeing business! Emily has just launched a podcast so we shot some imagery for that specifically as well as photos to use on her social media platforms. I loved collaborating with Emily, we had lots of chats and lots of laughs!
Here's what Emily said about her shoot....
Straight from the Enquiry Ruth was super helpful, the whole process felt so supported and she really made sure she knew the messaging I wanted to get across in my photos.
Highly recommend her!

Saturday thoughts on buying and selling property,

Saturday thoughts on buying and selling property, real estate agents and the importance of photography. We sold our house recently and what a relief it is to tick that off the list ✅ We were selling our first home so having not done this before I was blown away by how much work it was! Prepping for house photos, open homes, the admin and communication. I have such a new respect for real estate agents and the job that they do. I photograph many wonderful agents and was asked how I chose our agent. The answer is that hubby did, choosing someone we have known and trusted for many years. A big thank you, @jasonhaseldenrealestate who went over and above - he even popped around for an hour to weed wack the gardens before our photo shoot (as I would have butchered this!!). As soon as we sold I became desperately sentimental. This is the home my children have grown up in, a space with many special memories. I’m grateful that we have had not one but two photo shoots of our family capturing normal life in this home. Photos as simple as reading to the kids in bed. These are so much more precious now. If you haven’t done a shoot in your family home consider this as a space for your next shoot! Your space doesn’t have to look like a show home, be pretty or even tidy. And it’s pretty great not having to leave the house with kids in tow, or worry about weather, perfect for this time of year. Happy Saturday everyone ❤️

Friends, clients and potential clients... I know y

Friends, clients and potential clients... I know you have to make yourself vulnerable when you’re being photographed and I think you’re very brave. To those who open themselves up to the experience of being photographed by me, I will always try and hold your apprehensions with care. ⁠
From what do I wear, to how do I look and pose, being photographed is kind of a confronting experience isn’t it?! To keep these feelings at top of mind I get behind the camera a couple of times a year. I’m usually comfortable in front of the camera but this recent shoot with Tammy was very outside of my comfort zone! Here is a little snapshot into the results (well the very few that are appropriate to share on social media🤣!) ⁠
Thank you to Tammy for the fun shoot and for sharing your talent! And to our friend Nate who made this video after I let him take 40 seconds of behind the scenes footage, you’re very clever!
