Even photographers need their own branding sessions — and the sign of a good branding session is getting more than just your headshot, but also your personality fused into the photos.

Because let's face it — the days of simply standing in front of a backdrop for a basic photo are fast fading. Clients and companies want to know more about you and your personality. What are you like? What energy do you bring to the table?

Branding sessions are about all of that and more. They're a great time to get high-resolution assets to use on your web and digital marketing while showing off your personality while you're at it.

With the spring long weekend just wrapping up, the 2023 wedding season has officially begun!

2022 was the year of the wedding boom — where many couples finally had their wedding celebrations after postponing them for almost two years thanks to . While that was really exciting, it also meant many last-minute photography and videography requests and one of the busiest seasons for so many wedding creators (including our little team!).

We're so excited for the season that's to come this year, with hopefully a little more planning, and some bigger celebrations now that the world has come to adjust to it' new normal.

✨ What are your predictions for this 2023 season?

Last week, she held “Rising Tide” — an event inspired by the wise saying ‘a rising tide lifts all boats.’

Hosted by Rowa Mohamed For Ward 12, the evening was dedicated to re-imagining the London community under the warmth of spoken word, the rapture of drummers, and the gaze of visual art.

We radiate. We shine. We raise while we rise.

We love.

We persevere. We work hard, and then we work harder. We are business owners. Sisters. Artists. Bankers. CEOs. Writers. Mothers.

We are poetry.

Over the past years, Jenny Jay has had the chance to meet and photograph some incredible women. Here are just a few.
