FAQs

  • Anyone who promotes their businesses with a website, social media page, professional networking page, online adverts or leaflets and brochures could benefit from bespoke, professional photography.

    Whether you're a freelancer or own a small to medium sized business, bespoke images that reflect the work you do, and how you do it will always look better than stock photos or selfies.

    • If you are an individual Founder, Entrepreneur, Business owner, Speaker, Change-maker or Thought Leader or identify with another business-y title, The Brand Story Experience is designed especially for you. 

    • Portrait Sessions have been created with Families, Individuals and Authors in mind. I also make portraits with teams and organisations who need a series of staff headshots. 

    • Creative Projects is an umbrella term for my other Photography Services that include Lifestyle, Editorial, Social Storytelling & Events. These are for larger brands, businesses, organisations and publications who would like to commission a bespoke project to tell a more specific story.

  • Yes absolutely - I've worked all over the UK. For shoots further than 20 miles from Frome, a travel and possible accommodation fee will be added.

  • The location of our shoot is one of the most important aspects as it needs to truly align with your personality and your work.

    Often my clients house or workplace, or out in nature is a great place to start, but I also have lots of great resource available to help you choose another location if you're looking for somewhere else.

    We will decide on our location together when we have our Planning Call, so we can make sure it fits in with our brief and suits any accessibility needs.

    Read my blog post about how to choose a location to get started!

  • There are varied payment plans according to the package selected which we can discuss during the booking process. All bookings require a non-refundable deposit to secure your Experience.

  • The number of photos in your private online gallery will depend on the type of session booked and you can download all of the images you receive. Brand Stories = min 80. Portrait Sessions = min 20. Bespoke lifestyle & editorial commissions will vary depending on your needs.

    • Brand Story Experience clients will receive a Preview Gallery within a few days of our session, and the Full Gallery being around 4 weeks later.

    • Portrait Session clients will receive their images within a week. 

    • Creative Project turnaround times will vary. 


    They are always delivered via a beautiful, private online gallery where you can download Web and High Resolution images, making using them for various needs super easy!

  • All final images will be individually edited to produce the best exposure and colour balance as well as little tweaks to improve the composition and remove distractions.

    Because I truly believe that everyone is beautiful and deserves to be photographed authentically, I don't alter any permanent features like body shape or teeth.

    If you are unfortunate enough to wake up with a raging spot on our shoot day, I will make sure that it's not in any of your final photos!

  • The Brand Story Experience includes a Video Call a few weeks after the gallery delivery to reflect, celebrate and strategise the use of your new imagery. This is available as an Add-on for Portrait Session clients.
