Hello everyone!
Being a photographer isn’t about asking people to smile or posing them correctly. It’s not even all about lighting or composure, although all of that helps. It’s about how the pictures make people feel, especially if you are a business. Damn, I hate sounding like a cliche, but honestly it’s true. Good images have all the good feels, it’s not just the physical act of taking the photo, it’s the brand and photographer working together to tell the story behind the business.

Storytelling through imagery is vital for brands. What do you want to tell your audience about so that you attract clients and customers with the same values as yourself. It’s about showing the very relatable face behind the brand, along with what goes into life behind behind the business as well as your products and services. In a world where we now doubt daily whether content is real, it’s so important to be yourself. And I know how hard that can feel, as I have to do it for myself! It can really help to have someone there to guide you through building your brand imagery, as it can feel overwhelming.

I’ve opened up the books again for brand photography subscribers - there’s a handful of slots left so please email me using [email protected] if you’re interested in finding out more. As a subscriber you receive photography throughout the year (chosen at a time to suit you) to build your own image library, some video snippets for socials, an initial brand audit to see what you need, regular support through the year and a web gallery to see all of your photography in one place. All this in return for 12 monthly payments of £150 to spread the cost. Drop me a line and I’ll share the details, no heavy sales pressure or joining of marketing I promise!
Thanks,
Helen

Hello everyone, quick post to say there's a handful of spaces left for autumn portraits - and if you've a little one at home and can manage a session during school hours then I'll happily knock £100 off the price of your session too! Details below, please get in contact with me via email [email protected]

For context, I'm an award winning local photographer with 19 years experience photographing families as they grow. I specialise in natural shots of kids exploring outdoors or at home, and families with additional needs are more than welcome.

1-2 hour shoot on location or at home (and 10 high resolution digitals) is now priced for a short while at £195 if you can be available during school hours (or £295 if on a weekend). Unfortunately the offer isn't available to cover newborns (due to the extended time needed on the shoot) To upgrade to all digital images after the shoot is £200, no obligation to purchase although most families choose to.

Thanks!

Just a few of the many (so many!) shots I captured during a recent brand shoot for corporate client Business Stream for their new website, now live. What a fantastic team, such great fun working with them on this two day shoot...

I'm delighted that one of my images taken for Royal Collection Trust of the private apartments of Queen Elizabeth II is now live on their website. It was a very early morning shoot at Holyrood Palace to get the shots before they opened the gates to the public but well worth the early start! Such a great experience.

Poor wee fish, check out his panicked expression! On my way back from a shoot I spotted this beautiful heron searching for his tea. Fish after fish after fish deftly plucked from the pond...feeling blessed I had my cameras in the car and a very willing subject...

Oh my! Happy 100th Birthday to the most respected and inspiring man on the planet, Sir David Attenborough! I spent an incredible afternoon photographing him on Bass Rock just off North Berwick. What a remarkable human, it was such an honor to get to speak with him and take his portrait. Happy Birthday Sir David x
