Branding with Woman Empowerment Coach - Shard
- Branding
So you’re a smaller brand or business looking to show up more professionally online with imagery that actually reflects you and what you offer? I've got you.
While I’m best known for maternity and newborn photography, that background gives me a real edge when working with people — especially those who aren’t used to being in front of the camera, or brands that involve children and families.
I bring a calm, confident presence to every session and guide you every step of the way. While many people think they want “candid” photos, the truth is most of us need direction, and that’s where I come in. I gently pose and guide in a way that feels natural, so your images still feel relaxed, not stiff or forced.
We live in a digital world, where your imagery often shapes the first impression of your brand. Having professional, cohesive photos is one of the most powerful ways to build trust, elevate your presence, and stand out online.
Branding and commercial sessions are generally held on a weekday morning in a location that will best suit your brand and vision.
This can be in the comfort of your home, office space, outdoors, or for a small fee, we can look at hiring a studio.
I only use natural light, which makes me best suited lifestyle projects/brands.
Secure your date with a booking fee and we'll then prepare for the session together via the prep guides, online call and questionnaire.
Enjoy your photography experience as I guide you through your photoshoot experience.
2-3 weeks later, you’ll receive your preview gallery and will be able to make your selection of your favourite images (& purchase more if you'd like to).
1 week later, your final images will be ready to download and enjoy.

I always recommend dressing in a way that feels most comfortable to you or that best represents your brand tone and colours. That being said, certain colours and styles definitely photograph better than others so once you have confirmed your booking I will provide you with a pdf guide which will have all the information you need about what to wear and how to prepare.
As long as your selections are sent through within 7 days, final galleries are delivered by 4 weeks after the session.
I've spent years learning how to read light and work with all kinds of spaces. All you really need is a good source of soft light and a bit of creativity! If you're really unsure though, feel free to send me through some photos of your space and we can chat further about if it will work.
Full payment is required by the date of your session. By now pay later is available via Klarna.
Your final images will have light retouching done on them. This means I personally go through each image and remove distractions and anything non-permanent. Distractions include things like dust/marks on products and people in the background. Non-permanent things include blemishes, scratches and bruises. This keeps the images as true to you as possible while ensuring they are something you can beautifully and proudly display online. I don't "make people skinnier" or do extensive image manipulation. That being said, I always want my clients to love their images so if there's extra work desired beyond what I would normally do I'm always happy to discuss if it is possible and provide a quote or referral where needed/possible.
If we have an outdoor session scheduled and it's forecast to rain, we'll look at postponing your session. I am very mindful about the volume of work I take on, this means I usually have a reasonable amount of flexibility and a postponement date available within a week or two of your planned session.
I will generally only confirm a postponement a day before the session however as forecasts can change quickly.
No I only use natural light.
This is important to consider as natural light can vary significantly depending on the time of day and weather. This makes me best suited for lifestyle projects and not ongoing product photography, or big teams where more consistency is generally needed/recommended. I can of course still photograph product where needed/desired so long as you're comfortable/okay with a degree of natural variation in your final images.
Big yes! This is such a great opportunity to get some updated family images at the same time. Depending on the goal of your final images needed however, we may need to add some additional time to your session as I will generally need at least 30 minutes to capture some family images with a decent amount of variety.
Yes of course!
Travel time between locations will however be counted as your photographic time so you'll likely want to add additional time to your package. Using a new location on another day will also be invoiced/charged as a new session.
I'm definitely happy to chat more in depth about providing more BTS video content or iphone video content.
I don't provide professional cinematic video content using my camera however I do have a list of recommendations for this service if you are interested.
This is usually a little bit more outside my scope and I prefer to recommend this kind of work to a few other trusted photographers.
That being said, if you're still super keen to work with me, I'm happy to chat more about what you have in mind!
