What a year it’s been in my garden studio! 🌿

Over the past 12 months, I’ve had the absolute honour of photographing so many incredible women in my home studio – each one bringing their own story, style, energy & sparkle in front of my camera.

There’s something truly magical about helping my clients relax, find their confidence, and light up during a shoot. Knowing these images give them a boost of self-belief is the reason I love what I do.

Having this studio built two years ago was hands-down one of the best investments I’ve ever made for my business – and my clients. It’s become such a creative, uplifting space for me – and for the women who step in front of my lens. Seeing them step in a little nervous and walk out glowing with confidence is something I’ll never get tired of.

In this post, I’m sharing the shoots of the incredible women I’ve photographed in my studio this year. You can see the 2023 shoots that took place in my studio here, and the 2022 shoots here. 

First up, this is Claire English, founder of The Unteachables, who is doing amazing things helping teachers to take control of their classrooms.

This is Shona Watson, founder of GU6ix and a human factors coach. Here is what Shona had to say about the experience….

“I had a branding shoot with Vicki at her home studio and from beginning to end she was an absolute pleasure to work with; I felt like I’d known her for years. To add, she is an awesome photographer, she has an eye for great details and her photos really captured the essence of ‘me’ as my brand. I am utterly thrilled with how the photos have turned out and cannot wait to integrae them into my website and show them off to the world!”

This next shoot was with Dr Demi Aspey, founder of Sonder Script. You may recognise Demi from her last branding shoot in London.

For this shoot, Demi wanted a minimalist, editorial vibe, so I took everything out of the studio and I love what we created:

This shoot was with business coach Sophie Butler, who is also part of my group visibility mastermind, Seen. I love it when I can work with clients holistically and provide both visibility coaching and photography.

 

This is Caroline Whitmore who is a therapeutic coach and a breathwork coach. This shoot was on one of the hottest days of the year so we had the fan on full to keep us cool!

This is Teresa Allen who is a talented artist. Teresa wanted to have the shoot for her business but also for her, to show the different sides of her personality.

And when Teresa said she would love some shots of her doing ecstatic dancing in the forest, I was delighted at the opportunity to get creative!

 

 

 

This next shoot is with executive and leadership coach, Pauline Hughes.

 

This session was with Lucy Johnson, founder of Green Salon Consultancy. You can see Lucy’s last branding shoot with me in London here. 

This shoot was with executive coach, Marina Dieck.

 

This is wedding planner, Joanna Wilford. This is what Joanna had to say about the experience:

“I am absolutely over the moon with the images. As I hate having my photograph taken, it was always going to be a tough job to make me relax. The setting in your garden studio was perfect, no distractions and great backdrops. I can’t recommend Vicki enough, she is warm and friendly and a true professional.”

This shoot was with social media expert, Jo Edge. Here’s what Jo had to say about the experience:

” I cannot thank Vicki enough for the fabulous photos she took for my recent company rebrand and new website. I’ve never enjoyed having my photo taken professionally or the finished results where I’ve often looked uncomfortable and not very much like me. I wanted to find someone who I would feel at ease around and I knew before I even spoke to her that Vicki was the right person.

I had a personal shoot in her garden studio and from the time I arrived to when I headed back home I felt totally relaxed having my photo taken for the first time ever and I actually enjoyed it. I was absolutely bowled over with the final images and nearly cried because I was so happy with them. Vicki not only managed to capture my brand and what I’m all about but she also produced a brilliant range that I can use for a variety of purposes and she has really helped to take my professional image to another level.

If you’re thinking of having a shoot with Vicki you’re guaranteed to be in very safe hands and over the moon with the results.Thank you Vicki, you’re a superstar!”

This next shoot was with executive coach, Susan Scott for her new website.

This is Frankie Jone, nutritionist and founder of All Being Well Nutrition.
