Here are the branding photo shoots that took place in my garden studio in Surrey last year.

Every single business owner you’re about to see walked into the studio saying some version of:

“I’m not photogenic.”
“I feel awkward.”
“I hate having my photo taken.”

And yet… look at them!

My garden studio is calm and private. Just us, your favourite music playing, my camera, and space to relax. No audience and no performative energy.

There’s also a beautiful forest just a few minutes’ walk away, so you really do get the best of both worlds.

You’ll notice that each shoot has its own feel. Some clients use the studio exactly as it’s styled. Others bring their own props, books or products to make it completely aligned with their brand.

That’s always the aim. Not just lovely images, but photos that feel like you.

And then next up is Jennifer Spurr who is a leadership coach. Here’s what Jen had to say about her shoot:

“Vicki is a genius! I hate having my photo taken but Vicki made the whole process so enjoyable for me. I had so much fun on the day – honestly I can’t recommend her more highly. It felt like a lovely morning with a friend rather than hard work. And I adore the end result! If you’re looking for a photographer who delivers incredible results whilst also making the process lovely and fun, then Vicki is the one!”

These weren’t just new photos – for many of these women, this was the moment they decided to be more visible and stop hiding. That’s why I care so much about getting it right.
