Some new headshots for . I love working with this company. Monthly headshots for new starters, those needing a refresh and promotions.

KJ Smith has had a huge brand glow up. Do check out their website it’s stunning. And I’ve taken all the pics!

Did you know that giving your staff members a headshot they love means they are 9 times more likely to share company social media posts. And your company will in turn get 21 more profile views per member of staff. I means this is google stats. But if it’s true that’s great news for KJ Smith as all their staff members have a stunning profile on photos.

And like that it’s the Easter school holidays.

Looking forward to easy mornings, attacking my editing pile and hanging out with the not so small people.

Also hoping for some sunshine as I’ve treated myself to a new lawn mower. Rock and roll!

What are you up to? ☀️

Next time you meet up with your team why not have a little headshot refresh? Lovely to see and her travel team last month.

It helps when you have a designer friend with an amazing house to use as a backdrop. Thanks so much for hosting us.

Drop me a message if you would like some team pics like these and we will make it happen.

This is a self care note to self as much as an instagram post.

🗒️ Book Pilates

Have you tried reformer? Hoping it’s addictive!

I provided a social media content package for earlier this year. Loved that Steph wanted to show through the photos that it’s just normal people, doing reformer - and not making it too seriously! Reformer is for everyone.

Have you visited yet? They are just to the south of Guildford and north of Godalming / Farncombe. Above .

They are also running a fab competition for Mothers Day over on their feed. So head over and enter. Tag me please!

Right I’m off. Someone please check in with me to make sure I book x

It's the one thing I'm always asked ⬇️

Will you tell me how to stand? Yep. It's my job.

Most people need a gentle nudge to get in the right position for the most flattering photos. Yes
- even the most seasoned pros. It's funny how your body forgets what it's doing when you jump in front of the camera.

Here I am - not wanting to yell directions across the stunning natural pool so we resorted to the international sign language of yoga moves.

Forever grateful to shoot at this beautiful venue - even if my camera had a near miss with the pool and my drone had a windy moment with a tree.

If you have FOMO do check out their page for yoga retreats and wellness days. Or if you want a shoot here then I know a wonderful brand photographer who can oblige 😉
