The camera-shy business owner’s secret weapon

What if I told you:

You CAN have brand photos that reflect your real self.

You CAN feel good in front of the camera.

And you can even ENJOY the experience?

You don’t need to know how to pose, and you don’t even need to feel “ready.” You can just show up as yourself, and I’ll take care of the rest.

Photos don’t build trust, people do.

You’ve built a business you love, and your brand photos should reflect that. But every time you go to post, you’re relying on the same tired selfie or one great headshot from three years ago. 

The visuals just don’t match what you bring to the table. You WANT to feel proud of how you’re showing up online… but something is missing.

That’s where brand photography comes in.

Photography that reflects you, your values, your creativity, your energy… so that you can build trust and connect with the people you serve.

But, how you feel during a shoot matters just as much as how the end photos look. That’s why I focus on creating a space where you can actually relax, enjoy yourself, and walk away feeling more confident than you thought possible.

Because when you feel seen, it shows. And that’s what your audience will connect with.

That’s the real power of brand photography:

It isn’t a luxury or “nice to have.” 

It’s a tool for visibility, connection, and self-trust.

And it helps you show up as yourself. Not just to the world, but to you, too.

Come as you are.

I’ll take it from there.

For many people, the idea of being in front of a camera brings up nerves, self-doubt, or memories of stiff, awkward headshots that didn’t feel like them.

With over 12 years of experience and more than 2,700 shoots under my belt, I’ve seen it all and heard every version of “I hate having my photo taken.”

But what if I told you that it didn’t have to be that way?

That you don’t have to pose, suck your stomach in, or show up with a neon blazer and confetti cannon? (Though I’m never opposed to that either!)

That you don’t even need to “feel ready” to be photographed?

During a shoot with me, we’ll walk, talk, maybe laugh about something ridiculous. And somewhere in between, I’ll capture the essence of who you are. I won’t bark directions or expect you to “perform.” I’ll gently guide you with warmth, intuition, and a photographer’s eye that sees the shot before it even happens.

Most of the time, you’ll forget the camera is even there.

Clients often tell me it’s the first time they’ve truly LOVED their photos. That they see themselves more clearly. They feel more confident not just in the images, but in themselves.

So whether this is your first brand photoshoot or your fifth, you’ll walk away with photos you’re proud to post, and a shoot experience that makes you feel more confident, not less.

Because there’s a version of you that shows up when you feel safe.

Let’s capture that.

how it works

This isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence. Just show up, and I’ll take care of the rest.

From gentle prep to thoughtful direction, I’ll guide you through every step of the process so that you can feel relaxed, supported, and totally yourself.

Here’s how we’ll create magic together

WE CHAT

Once you’re booked in, you’ll receive a Welcome Guide and a simple questionnaire to help me get to know you, your business, and your vision. You’ll get plenty of tips on how to prep, what to wear, and what to bring on your shoot day so you don’t get overwhelmed.

WE PLAN

For longer sessions (Full and Half Days), we’ll hop on a planning call to talk through locations, vibes, and shot ideas. I’ll create a flexible shooting plan so we’re aligned on what we’re capturing, while leaving room for spontaneity on the day.

WE SHOOT

On the day, we’ll take it slow and keep things relaxed. We’ll laugh, we’ll chat, you won’t have a camera in your face the whole time, and we can take breaks whenever you need. I’ll gently guide you through the shoot with intuition, care, and the kind of experience that comes from doing this 2,700+ times.

YOU CHOOSE

After your shoot, you’ll receive a pre-selection gallery. Choose your favourites (or, if you prefer, I can select for you), and I’ll edit them in my signature style: vibrant, true to you, and ready to use everywhere.

YOU SHINE

You’ll get your final gallery within 2-3 weeks, depending on your package. Then it’s time for you to update your website, sprinkle new photos into your socials, and show up with the kind of confidence that only comes from finally loving how you look on camera!

Hair and Make-up Artist Add ON - from £200

You will have the option to add a hair & make-up artist to any of the branding packages. If you just want your make-up done it’s £200 and for both hair & make-up together it’s £300 (additional travel costs may be charged). Once you’re booked in for your photo shoot I will connect with the lovely MUA I work with to hash out details for that part of the day.

*Subject to availability. Please also note that these prices may change or vary as I work with a few different make-up artists I don’t have any influence on their pricing.

VIDEO & REELS ADD-ON - from £200

Want to record some high-quality video content for your website or social media? We can create some clips during your shoot, from behind-the-scenes and boomerangs to interview-style footage or we can add some extra time dedicated to filming some branding videos and/or smaller clips for your Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok. This can be individually tailored to your needs or you can go for one of the below options:

Want to book a video only shoot?

Branding video of Gillian McMichael, a wellness coach and expert, during one of her One Life retreats in Spain, walking the streets of Sóller.

Short Clip of Lisa Thalmyer, marketing & branding expert and conceptional florist.

*This will be filmed on my Canon EOS R / R5 / DJI Osmo Pocket 4 or if you prefer on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, depending on your vision. Please note footage will go through basic video editing (see here for more info - link to be added soon), any extensive post-processing like airbrushing or big production editing (several slides or adding stock footage) will need to go to an external editor and incur additional charges.


For the moments you’ll want to relive, and ones your future clients will want to feel.

Retreat photography is part documentary, part brand storytelling, and 100% collaborative. Whether it’s sunrise yoga in Spain or deep conversations in a remote Scottish cottage, I’ll quietly capture the magic as it unfolds, from candid group moments to beautiful portraits that honour the setting, energy, and intentions.

This is the first time I have had brand photography done for my business and I could not be more pleased with the final outcome! Nicole was professional, warm and approachable which put me at ease, especially during the shoot as I was a little nervous. Her process is super organised, communication was impeccable and the photos she captured were exactly what I was looking for. I would not hesitate to use her again if I need photography services in the future. Thank you so much Nicole!

She's really good at capturing your essence and making you feel good about yourself.
