The tables have turned! 📸 I’m usually the one hiding behind the camera, but I recently chatted with commissioning editor Dee Blick at the brilliant magazine Sussex Exclusive about my career, my love for storytelling, and why I’m a "people person" first and a photographer second.

Aww thankyou Guild Care.💕

💙 Thank You Tuesday 💙

Today we’re thanking Sophie Ward Photography for the wonderful photoshoot at Haviland House last month.

Sophie was fantastic with both residents and staff, instantly putting everyone at ease and truly capturing the essence of the home - the love and care that fill every corner. From the laughter and friendship shared in the café to the beautiful newly decorated lounges, she brought Haviland House to life through her lens.

We’re so grateful for the warmth, patience and creativity you showed on the day. We can’t wait to share the stunning photos across our website and literature very soon - watch this space! 📸

And then the sun came out☀️ After a long day photographing in Worthing for a regular client, I decided to go and stand in the rain and take in some much needed sea air. Before my very delicious coffee, totally recommend, I did indeed stand in the rain and took some deep breaths, then after my coffee walking to my car the sun came out. So I went back to the beach and looked at it for while. Sometimes you just need moments like this before returning to the chaos of family life with dogs🥰

A few pics from brilliant day at Brand & Deliver, a marketing conference right on our doorstep here in Horsham, West Sussex. I came away with some amazing tips and loads of motivation.🥳
Thanks to marketing queen Dee Blick and Michelle Betts from ByJove Media for organising. Both of these talented women are authors too so go check them out on Amazon.

Think you need a £2,000 camera to take professional product photos? Think again. 📸

One of the biggest myths I hear from business owners in Horsham is, "I can't take good photos because I only have my phone."

The truth? Lighting and composition matter far more than megapixels.

In my upcoming Product Photography Workshop, we are going to focus on techniques that work whether you are shooting on a DSLR or the smartphone in your pocket.

Don't let a lack of gear hold your business back. Come and learn how to use what you already have to create scrolling-stopping images.

This workshop is supported by Horsham District Council , so it will only cost you £20 to attend. 🥳

Spots are limited. Secure yours here: https://bookwhen.com/sophiewardphotography =ev-s061-20260206093000

Calling all small business owners in the Horsham District! 👋
Quick question for the you: Are you currently taking your own product photos for your website or social media?

We all know great visuals sell, but getting the lighting, angles, and styling right can be incredibly frustrating—especially when you are already wearing ten other hats in your business.
If you want to take better photos 📸 that actually convert customers, I have a great opportunity for you.

I’m hosting an upcoming workshop right here in Horsham dedicated to upskilling local businesses in product photography. This event is supported by Horsham District Council funding to help local enterprises thrive.

I’m tailoring the content specifically to who attends. So, come along and let's get your products looking their best.
