Did you know that raindrops and cameras are similar in a way? 🌈ðŸ“ļ

A raindrop is basically nature's microscopic photographer.

First, it acts like a camera lens, bending the sunlight as it enters, separating the light into its different colours. Then, like a camera, using mirrors to guide the light where it needs to go, the raindrop reflects the light off its inner surface before sending it back out into the world.

The result?

Millions of tiny raindrop cameras working together to create one giant rainbow across the sky 🌈📷

Or two in this case 🌈🌈

Yesterday was all about bouncing ideas around with the lovely team at Kin Lifetime Planning in preparation for their upcoming photo shoot.

Clients on my Half and Full Day Brand Photography Experience packages benefit from a collaborative image planning session. During this time, I find out lots about the business, team and personalities behind the brand, and we start to design a shot list that will help us to capture a collection of powerful and purposeful images for use across their entire business, leaving no image unused and unloved.

I don't just rock up and leave it to chance!

The team has already prepared a ton of ideas (love this) before I even walked through the door of their stunning office in Burton Joyce. They even had a shopping list so they could efficiently order what they needed in plenty of time.

We touched on their:

- typical customer
- client journey
- hobbies
- outfits
- props
- locations
- models
- the history of their building
- handmade mugs
- and so much more

Now we've got our ideas together it's time for me to piece it all together. I'll tie in everything we discussed and design a schedule, allowing us to get the best use of our time together on the day, and ensuring we leave no stone unturned.

The team and I are absolutely buzzing for a fun photo sesh, and I know we're going to have the best time together.

I'm so excited for this one!

If you're stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to creating content that gets people curious about working with you, we absolutely need to talk.

I'm a Nottingham-based Commercial Photographer - I specialise in capturing purposeful Headshots, Brand, and Lifestyle Photography that gets you noticed.

Well what can I say?

I'm so proud to have hit ðŸ’Ŋ 5-Star Google Reviews today!!!

Thanks you to each and every one of my fabulous clients who have taken time out of their busy schedules to share their experience.

One of the best ways you can support a small business like mine, is to leave a review. Not only does it help me to continue to provide an unrivalled service, but it also helps others to make an informed decision about working with me (or not).

Because let's face it, we're not all for everyone. But having a huge number of unique, and genuinely positive reviews can certainly help.

As the weather improves (yesterday being an exception) photo shoot enquiries increase.

I had three bookings last week for my most popular package, my Half-Day Brand Photography Experience.

Really looking forward to working with the following Nottingham-based businesses over the next month or so:

Structural Engineer, James Powers

Max and the Bright Beany Accounting team

Leckie and the team at Kin Lifetime Planning

I'll be designing and capturing 60 powerful and purposeful images for each of these fab local businesses.

That's 6-12 months of impactful visual content for their websites, socials and for use in print, including:

- headshots
- team photos
- behind the scenes
- and images for each of the stories they need to tell

I don't just rock up and shoot.

Every image is planned, and some will happen on the fly and by accident.

I'll be capturing the talent and personality behind each of these brands, and every image will be multi-purpose.

I've spent this morning working on James' shoot plan. It's never a quick job - it's about attention to detail and leaving no stone unturnded. Just waiting for a couple of lovely venues to confirm that we can shoot in their space, before sending it over to James for review.

If you're still using stock imagery, or your current photos are looking a little tired, I'd love to speak with you.

Let's see if we'd like to work together.

A little personal project.

I'm back from a wonderful few days in Chania, Crete.

The sun was shining and the tzatziki was a twice-daily delight.

I didn't take my camera, but decided to set myself a little phone-photography project after seeing the toilet in our hotel room, as a face.

So here we have The Many Faces of Chania.

What worries you most about having a photo shoot/being in front of a camera?

A lot of people I speak to HATE the thought of having their photo taken.

So I'm interested to know what your photo shoot fears are.

Can you guess any of the locations in these images?

Anyone who has been on a shoot with me will know how obsessed I am with cute, colourful, and quirky windows, doors, and shutters.

They feature A LOT in my work.

If you've been snapped by me, say hello and share your favourite photo in the comments 👇🏞

ðŸ“ļ A handful of images from a shoot for Malvern Garden Buildings

No people in this one which is unheard of for me, but I love pretty garden buildings and interiors though so it was still very much up my street.

Do you have one of these badly boys in your garden?

Are you trying to sell a lifestyle but find it a struggle to create the right content to attract the right customers?

Give me a shout, I'd love to help:
