August 22, 2023

As a creative entrepreneur, portrait photographer and abstract artist, based in Brighton (often in London), I always feel over the moon to photograph other artist and creatives. Before the shoot we talked about what pictures Susanne needed for her website and social media and we both agreed to focus on: story-telling brand images and glamorous, full of personality, portraits.

Most yoga teachers would chose the yoga studio or gym as a location for a professional portrait photoshoot but Mara wanted to do something different, unique and authentic.

She includes the connection with nature into her yoga practice so we hoped into my car and drove from Brighton to the Sussex countryside (Devils Dyke) for her outdoor brand portrait photo session.

Business headshots vs Personal branding portrait photography

July 8, 2023

What’s the difference between headshots and brand photography? As a portrait photographer I’ve worked with numerous women in business from the Brighton and London area and most of them ask me the same question.

So I decided to write this blog because personal branding portrait photography is so much more than just traditional business headshots…

Don't forget to smile! Brighton portrait photographer

May 30, 2023

As an empath, introvert and camera shy myself (yes, professional female photographers can be camera shy too!) I take time on the day of photoshoot so you can relax, take deep breaths and let go of any stress, worries and concerns.

I love capturing spontaneous smiles, sparkles in the eyes and big generous hearts when I photograph women who follow their passion.

And no, I don’t say funny jokes to makes you laugh.

Quite the opposite.

I simply create a safe and welcoming space on the day of your personal brand portriat photoshoot so you can just BE yourself.
