Branding Photographer in Warwickshire
scroll-stopping IMAGERY TO ROCK YOUR BRAND
Are you struggling with your brand imagery?
Raise your hand if this sounds familiar
You feel like you’re always scrabbling around for an image to post to your social media channels. When it comes to Insta, you’re winging it. Your feed is sporadic and messy because you don’t have any decent content to pull from.
When someone tells you they’ve been looking at your website, your immediate response is: “I haven’t updated that in so long! It’s an old site! DON’T JUDGE ME BY IT.”
You know you need to be posting something other than just product images but there’s only so many times you can ask your partner to take photos of you doing your thing. Even then, you have to direct them with exact instructions of what you want and – Sod’s Law! – the good light will be gone by the time they’re home from work.
You’re struggling to create images with the right cropping and dimensions for your website (or grid).
Coming up with post ideas and consistently creating new content is exhausting and time-consuming and you’re not sure what you’re coming up with is that engaging anyway. Was one of the three people that liked your last post was your mum? Yeah. I rest my case.
You scour Facebook for a decent image when you need a headshot and usually end up needing to clumsily crop someone out to get something even half usable.
You invested in a good quality camera and you think you’re doing everything right, but your photos are still lacking that scroll-stopping factor.
You’d love to be selling on NOTHS but you know your current images won’t pass their standards test
You know you should be using Lightroom, but it sounds scary. And besides, you don’t have the time to learn how to use it effectively.
When business owners post images of themselves on social media, they get almost double – if not triple! – the engagement.
HOW DOES A YEAR’S WORTH OF INSTAGRAM CONTENT IN A FEW HOURS SOUND?
Hi! I’m Jen (nice to meet you) and I’m a personal branding photographer based in Warwickshire
I live just outside Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, with my husband and daughter Mabel. I’m a passionate supporter of indie businesses and am obsessed with home decor (who isn’t in this age of Instagram and Pinterest?)
Before photography became my career, I made jewellery – I had a workshop in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter and everything! So I know what it’s like to run a small business. Moreover, I know that brand photography matters as much to indie businesses as it does to big corporations. Maybe even more so.
The making and selling processes of a small business are fascinating. Your customers WANT to know what goes on during the creative process of your business.
(Trust me on that one)
If you’re fed up with NOT nailing your brand imagery, you’re in the right place
WHAT DOES A SHOOT WITH ME INCLUDE?
PRE-SHOOT QUESTIONNAIRE
This will help us get a clear idea of your ideal customer, target market and branding. This in turn will help us narrow down what kind of images will attract your dream customers.

I’ll guide you through the entire shoot with tried-n-tested tips on how to get the laid back, professional shots that you want. It’ll be fun. Promise.
SOCIAL MEDIA KIT
Includes 52 post ideas to make sharing your new images super easy. I’ll also throw in some Instagram story and post template set up with your brand’s fonts and colourways.
STYLE CONSULTATION
Before the session, we’ll create a shared Pinterest board of inspiration and ideas. You’ll also get my PDF Style Guide which will help you plan and prepare for your session.
DIGITAL FILES
Your images will be delivered in an online gallery where you can easily download your images in print, website and social formats so they’re ready to use immediately.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
Videography
Hair and Make-up
Prop Hire or Event Styling

STORIES
No longer having to endlessly try to take a shot on my phone whilst I’m working has been the best part of the whole process. It has, and continues, to save me so much time and now I can schedule a whole heap of posts over my busiest time as I’ve got this huge bank of photos there, ready to go.
Oh Jen, the photos are amazing!! I can’t get over how good you’ve made my products look – you are so talented! Now the only trouble I have is deciding which one to share first!
DID YOU KNOW?
If people feel as though they know, like and trust you, they’re ten times more likely to buy into what you’re offering. And ten times more likely to choose you over anyone else.
WHat’s the damage?
Your investment in personal brand photography will bust open the door to a better brand, better business and, crucially, better sales.

Before the shoot, we’ll discuss your requirements and create a shared Pinterest board so we’re both on the same page. We’re talk about the props and backgrounds and all you’ll need to do is carefully ship your items to me.
Photography, styling and editing are all included and you can trust me to take the very best care with your products. They’ll be returned to you safely and securely after the shoot

I'm not sure which package will suit my needs
Let’s chat! Tell me all about your business and what you need and I can make a recommendation
do you travel?
Hell yeah! I’m based in Leamington Spa but I’ll travel wherever my work takes me. My packages include travel time of up to 1 hour each way and anything over this is charged accordingly. My remote product photography is available to all businesses within the UK
I HATE BEING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. IS THAT A NON-STARTER?
No way. It may feel strange at first (particularly if you’re not used to jumping in front of the camera) but the more you do it, the more comfortable you’ll feel. I understand that you probably don’t like having your photograph taken but by not showing your face on your website and social media profiles, you’re missing out on a ton of engagement. Time to step out of the shadows….
WHAT WILL I RECEIVE?
After the session you’ll receive all the images as high resolution digital files.
Image delivery is via a beautifully presented online gallery where you can download your photos as high or low res files and create favourite lists. Your gallery will stay active for 12 months.
A commercial license is included so you are free to use the images in all your marketing materials, online and on social media.
Your images will not have any watermarks on them and you do not have to credit me (although a little nod is always appreciated).
DO I NEED TO PROVIDE PROPS OR BACKGROUNDS?
For remote product photography, I have a variety of props and backgrounds but I always encourage clients to take a look around their homes or workshop for any items that compliment their products. We’ll talk about this before your session. I can always source specific props with enough notice.
When is payment needed?
50% of the fee is required on booking and the remainder is due a week before the shoot date
READY TO BOOK?
If you’re ready to talk more about how we can tell your story and boost your brand, I’d love to hear from you.
