Brand Photography is NOT just a suite of images for your business. It is carefully planned photography which is fully informed by your Brand Strategy.
It can include a myriad of types and styles of images of your business, but without the branding fundamentals, these images cannot be classed as brand photography.

Brand photography is a hugely misunderstood trending area of photography right now. For the confusion created by my industry in your research and procurement task today, I apologise.
Brand photography MUST articulate the core of your brand. If it doesn’t, then the photography cannot be brand photography. To achieve this essential articulation, careful consideration of the following needs to happen, so that the resulting photography works in alignment with all of these things:
Brand Photography is best carried out once you have your brand strategy in place.
If you are not confident that your brand is fully figured out, I can still help you. I recommend you do the branding work on your business first and plug any immediate photographic gaps with more of a professional headshot set of assets.
Once you have a good handle on the way you want your brand to serve you it’s time to articulate that with a myriad of branding touchpoints. Here’s a helpful diagram to show you what I mean by this.
Personal branding photography is like brand photography, which is informed heavily by branding strategy. If you’re ready to get proactive about increasing your visibility. This shoot is step one in becoming more known as a real expert in your field.
If your current collection of photography is feeling a bit out-dated but you’re not ready to commit to an in-depth brand photography photo shoot, this quick, fuss-free mini-shoot is ideal for you. Contact me to find out more.
More and more business owners are searching for ways to show up more authentically in their business. My seasonal brand photo shoot is the perfect way to get a regular supply of excitement and visual motivation.
Visual Marketing Excellence… and I should know. Working in the realm of visual marketing has given me a discerning attitude about how the best brands stand out for the right reasons. Laura knows these subtleties too. She shows up with personal style and brings enthusiasm, originality and a whole heap of talent. Being out on our Personal Branding photoshoot in downtown San Diego felt like a stroll with a buddy. When I booked her to shoot me deliver a talk at a conference it was like she wasn’t in the room. This approach speaks volumes about how skilled she is. The results are masterful. Do not hesitate to work with her.
Jeff Sieh – Manly Pinterest Tips
I heard about Laura through a couple of contacts, she came highly recommended. I had a really specific vision for how I wanted this shoot to come out. It had to represent my music and me as an artist. Laura was so respectful of that and she offered up several ways to shoot what was in my head. If you’re looking for a skilled creative collaborator, Laura is your gal.
Natty Lou – Singer-Songwriter
Being able to build trust is hugely important in my line of work. People need to feel comfortable about letting me in their home or place of business. Laura has managed to get this into the creative professional headshots she did for me. I’m thrilled. It’s already making a difference in enquiries.
Clive Perry – Painter & Decorator
When I had booked to go to Social Media Marketing World I knew it was important to document it. Having worked with Laura before when I was a speaker at an event, I was thrilled I had the option to book her. She planned every inch of the shoot and the whole experience made me feel like Beyonce herself. I now have a collection of inspirational imagery that works perfectly to articulate that modern businesses can trust me to manage their content.
Natalie Hailey – Content Manager
Setting up a business takes a LOT of guts, determination and focus. When I learned that Laura had a photography service to help me get a decent number of visual assets to pass to my website designer to sort out for me I was delighted. What’s more, she came to my home bakery and was exceptional at working around and with my kids too. Now I’m ready to get those online orders in.
Nicola Montgomery – La Petite Fleur Cakes
I am someone who absolutely hates getting my photo taken. The idea of a photo shoot filled me with so much dread. However, within 5 minutes, Laura had me completely relaxed and laughing – and even enjoying it! I am so pleased with how my cover shoot turned out. Laura has such a lovely way with you when she is shooting and can put even the most awkward at ease. I love the final results and am so proud of how it all came out in print too.
Elaine Parker – Serial Entrepreneur
I needed a quick update on my professional headshots and after meeting Laura at a networking session decided to book her. The shoot was fantastically fast which worked within my busy schedule and I’m pleased with the final results. Swift service and fuss-free. Would recommend.
Paul Steel – Financial Planning
Coaching and mentoring staff as well as project managing several moving pieces at once makes me the central point of contact in my work. A huge part of this is being seen as calm and relatable. My previous headshots felt a bit stiff and I wanted to get this message across a bit better. I’m so happy with how this set of images came out. Definitely recommend.
Kate MacKay – NHS Consultant & Author
Laura and I first worked together back in the days when she had her studio in 2013. This shoot was an ultra-fun vintage pinup-style shoot, we connected that day and kept in touch. When it was time for me to launch my website and get ready for my book to be published in 2018 I had no hesitation in booking her to help me bring the vision in my mind of how I wanted everything to look and feel to life. Laura delivered on my vision, she can do the same for you and your Personal Branding too.
Ceryn Rowntree – Medium, Therapist, Writer and Guide
Me and the team at Michael Offord Optometrists are more than happy to recommend Laura. She was recommended to us back when we were celebrating our 35th anniversary of trading in 2016 and needed some professional photography. When it was time for us to get some fresh Team Photography in 2022 we knew straight away we wanted to work again with Laura. She always does a great job and is a delight to work with.

Changing industries in your career is tough. I re-trained and got the qualifications but really needed that little bit extra to get invited to interviews. I decided to try adding a relevant headshot to my job applications. Laura took this brief and really ran with it, so much so that this professional headshot was actually a talking point at the interview and then I got the job! Well worth the investment, I shall continue to recommend her to anyone looking to change up their career.
Thom Crowder – Water Sampler Northumbria Water
I booked a professional headshots photoshoot with Laura to coincide with a conference I was speaking at, as I’d seen some of the work she’d done for colleagues in my industry and it was great!
Despite having a very busy schedule on the day, Laura didn’t try to rush my session and found several locations to give a variety of different, interesting backdrops.
She put me at ease and I think that showed in the results! I have had great feedback on the photos I chose from the session, which I continue to use to this day.
Dr Julia Bramble – Social Media Manager
Laura offering this in-a-day branding service in a way that respects my time felt like a perfect fit. The results from this are still paying off in my business now.
Jo Davidson – Female Leadership Coach.
Getting visual proof of you as a dynamic speaker is a fantastic way to build authority. When Laura was offering this service at one of the conferences I was on the lineup for it felt like a no-brainer to take advantage of this. When I was up there speaking and moving around the room, I completely forgot she was there in the shadows working away. I still get great comments about these shots. I highly recommend this bespoke photography service to any fellow professional speakers out there.
Chris Marr – Global Coaching Performance Director
Making my yoga studio a beautiful zen space in the middle of the city centre has been a labour of love. Laura came in and captured this mood so that we could show new members what it’s like to join or even just try out any of the classes we have to offer. Laura has helped us so much with creating more social media posts and updating the website. The content shoot service is a great option for any small business owner like me.
Lissa Foley-Hughes – Yogalilies | Life & Lilies
Laura is one of my best Creative suppliers EVER. Creating the magazine, and coaching has meant I have come into contact with hundreds of different creatives over the years from all over the world. Laura is one of THE best. She has a wonderful way with words and creates a hugely popular column for the magazine on branding and photography. We engaged her to shoot for the cover and also to shoot and direct a creative content crew when we covered a prestigious awards event. This is just the beginning, we will be hiring her a lot more in the future. Book her now, she’s worth the wait.
Tricia Scott- The Female CEO Magazine
One of the most important drivers for this recruitment agency is to disrupt the market we are in. We wanted to underline this by using team photography that feels non-stuffy or overly corporate. Laura is so skilled at getting anyone to relax in front of the camera. We will continue to hire her to capture our growing team.
Amit Pandit – Founder of APT Search
After meeting Laura at another photoshoot, I knew she would be the photographer to get an updated professional headshot just right for me. She worked around my busy schedule and I really liked the final work. Great job, highly recommend this service.
Liam Hodgson – Associate Director Incendium Consulting
We needed two types of Content Photography to update our marketing and website. Laura was brilliant at adapting her photographic and creative talents. We shot the entire product line at her studio and then worked together on a luxe fashion shoot. Laura was able to ask me the exact right questions to ensure the work she did support how I wanted our brand to be perceived. With a niche audience, my specifications were meticulous. She delivered on this and is a fantastic creative partner.
Claire – Laland & Bo
I saw Laura doing her thing at a conference and knew she would be a great addition to my Fliprunway community and events. We have loved working with Laura to help us with workshop retreat photography, speaking and shooting a conference. She’s photographed an awards event and has been a compare and judge at a virtual awards event! We consider Laura to be a part of the Fliprunway family and will continue to work with her in the future. Such a talent!
Myra Tomlin-Reed – Fliprunway
I’d like to thank Laura for the great photoshoot experience she delivered for me. It was relaxed and productive. I was always going to hire her to do my headshots, her professionalism and creativity are second to none. I thought I was going to be nervous on our shoot day but Laura has a great way of making you feel relaxed and at ease, which I think has translated very well into the final results. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
Gerry King – Funeral Director Websites
It took me seconds to feel on a deep level that Laura is a Goddess of order and action. That’s pretty rare for a Creative Talent as big and beautiful as hers. Shooting with Laura in the gorgeous La Jolla San Diego was a truly magical couple of hours. She brought out the best of me and I LOVE the photography. It’s so much more than just a photo shoot when you work with Laura. She has laser-insight, knows SO MUCH about how to articulate a brand and what’s more, she can break all of those big ideas into order and action that feels manageable.
Trish McKinnley – Manifesting Goddess
I wanted some relaxed and Professional Headshots. Laura brings such a creative take on how to explain what you do for a living in the photography she creates. I would never have come up with this idea on my own.
Caroline Ford – Mortgage Advisor
I have a lovely community of Fitness and Wellness Pros from all over the UK. One of the highlights of the year is to host a luxe in-person retreat. I asked Laura to join us in a 6-star Resort in Marbella, Spain. She was available to my delegates for mini branding photoshoot sessions, and, on the speaking lineup talking about implementing visibility into Personal Branding within the Fitness and Wellness space. My community have fallen in love with her. The way she was able to give her knowledge based on individual questions was unforgettable.
Yvonne Radley – Big Me Up Media
Working in marketing and public relations has a lot to do with image and reputation. It was crucial to me that my clients and future customers could see that I walked the talk and could be trusted. I had a bunch of scattered ideas when I decided to begin working with Laura on a Personal Brand Photoshoot project. She brought the best of these ideas together and over-delivered on planning, directing her creative crew, creating a social media buzz about the shoot, and creating subsequent content that showcased my business AND a collection of magnificent photos I love. If you’re looking to work with the real deal, you need to hire Laura. Trust me.
Kathryn Baird – Marketing Manager
The clarity I gained from this process was invaluable and oh-so rapid. I can finally see what I need to prioritise in my limited schedule to build my authority.
I have a lovely community of Fitness and Wellness Pros from all over the UK and beyond. One of the highlights of the year is to host a luxe in-person retreat. After seeing the incredible photography work Laura did in San Diego I asked her to join us in a 6-Star Resort in Marbella, Spain. She did not disappoint. She was available to my delegates for mini branding photoshoot sessions, she was on the speaking lineup talking about implementing visibility into a fitness and wellness brand, and, we even had time to shoot a FABULOUS Personal Brand session for me. I love my photography, and my community have fallen in love with her too, I highly recommend her especially for online community-based businesses that host a retreat.
