Frequently asked questions

What should I wear for my branding session?

This is the most frequently asked question I receive. I'll send you a detailed style guide after booking, but here's the key: wear clothes that make YOU feel confident and authentic. Consider how you want your ideal clients to perceive you - as professional yet approachable, or as creative and bold? We'll plan 3-4 outfit changes that reflect different aspects of your brand. Avoid busy patterns and logos, and bring a few options so we can choose what works best on the day.

I'm nervous about being photographed. How do you help with that?

You're not alone in feeling this way! I'm experienced in creating supportive environments where people feel comfortable and at ease. My documentary approach means no awkward posing - we'll chat, move naturally, and I'll capture authentic moments as they happen. Many clients tell me they forget they're being photographed because the session feels so relaxed and natural.

How long does a personal branding session take?

It depends on which package you choose: Essential sessions are 75 minutes, Signature sessions are 2 hours, and Platinum sessions are 3.5-4 hours. This includes time for outfit changes, different setups or locations, and breaks whenever you need them. I never rush - the goal is for you to feel relaxed and enjoy the process, so we take whatever time is necessary to get authentic, beautiful images.

When will I receive my photos?

For Essential and Signature packages, you'll receive your edited images within 1-2 weeks through a beautiful online gallery. Platinum clients get rush delivery within 72 hours. Every image comes professionally edited and includes social media optimised versions, so you can start using them for your business immediately. You'll also receive full commercial usage rights with all packages.

Do you travel to my location, or would I need to come to you?

I'm based near Bury St Edmunds and love travelling throughout Suffolk and beyond for sessions. Whether you prefer your office, a meaningful location for your business, or a beautiful outdoor setting, we can make it work. I include travel within Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex & Cambridgeshire at no extra charge. For locations further afield, a small additional travel fee applies. We'll discuss the perfect location for your brand during your discovery call.

What's included in each package?

Great question! My Essential package (£495) includes 75 minutes and 8-10 edited images - perfect for new entrepreneurs. The Signature package (£795) is my most popular choice, offering 2 hours and 20-25 photos, and includes a brand consultation. The Platinum package (£1,695) is a comprehensive brand transformation, featuring 3.5-4 hours of coverage, 40-50 images, video clips, and premium rush delivery. All packages include professional editing, social media versions, and commercial usage rights.

What makes your approach distinct from that of other photographers?

My background in documentary photography brings a unique storytelling perspective to personal branding. Instead of stiff, posed shots, I capture authentic moments that truly represent who you are as a business owner. As a Good Health at Work Ambassador, I understand the unique pressures entrepreneurs face and create a supportive environment where you can be genuinely yourself.

How do I book a session?

The best place to start is with a complimentary 15-20 minute discovery call, where we'll discuss your vision, goals, and address any questions you may have. There's no pressure - it's just a chance for us to get to know each other and see if we're a good fit. If you decide to move forward, I'll send you a proposal and planning guide. A 30% deposit secures your date, and I offer payment plans to make the investment manageable for your business.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! I understand that investing in professional photography is a significant decision for your business. I offer flexible payment plans to make the process manageable. We'll discuss options that work for your budget during your discovery call.

What happens if the weather is bad for an outdoor session?

British weather can be unpredictable! If we've planned an outdoor session and the weather doesn't cooperate, we have several options: reschedule for another day, move to an indoor location, or embrace the atmospheric conditions if you're up for it (some of my favourite shots happen in interesting weather). Your comfort and safety are always our top priority.

Can I bring my team or family to the session?

Absolutely! If you'd like to include team members or family in some shots, or if having someone there would make you feel more at ease, please let me know. I can accommodate group shots or have a support person present during your session.
