I'm a big fan of Simply Katy's work so I was delighted when she contacted me about a photoshoot for her new calendars and tea towels. Her aesthetic is so modern and chic, and her travel inspired prints feature beautiful colour palettes. For the styling I was inspired by a Parisian breakfast theme, with croissants, fresh fruit and an espresso and gold accents. I think it really works in setting the tea towels in a way that frames them as a stylish kitchen accessory. Katy asked for the calendars to be shot in a lifestyle set up, so I kept the desk scene simple with changeable props to suit the featured months. Here's what Katy said about the final images: Awh wow!!!! You have done such an amazing job 🙂 I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the shots, they really show off the products and demonstrate to the customer how they can be used!"

Wild Watcher Collections is a wildlife and nature inspired outdoor lifestyle brand. For our first photoshoot, Eve sent me a range of cosy embroidered beanies, t-shirts and sweatshirts.
I wanted to create a feeling of bringing the outdoors in and when I saw this vintage ladder I thought it would work perfect as an unusual set piece. I kept the other styling quite minimal, with natural ivy and pinecones alongside some vintage props - binoculars and a British birds book. To tie it all in I kept wooden elements in all of the different images, either the ercol chair or natural wood board in the background. Eve was delighted with the final images and has booked in her 2023 shoots already! If you'd like to book a photoshoot you can do so here. Rebekka of Bek Bek Makes got in touch to book a shoot for her UV Resin Kits after being so happy with her images from earlier in the year.
This time, the brief was to create a desk scene which was bright and airy with a limited colour palette of lilacs and a hint of mint. Rebekka sent over her own lilac crate and I styled the rest with existing props. You can see a reel from behind the scenes here. The final photos capture Bek Bek Makes brand perfectly with a lovely fun and fresh vibe. If you'd like to book a photoshoot you can do so here. Lorraine of Blushberry Botanicals decided it was time for a new look. The brand is focusing on their expanding range of natural deodorants, now offering bars as well as creams, and wanted a fresh new image style to mark this.
We decided to take the mint and blush pink from the branding and add in some other pastels to complement the colourful labels I designed a few years back. The props were kept natural and minimal for some clean styling. I thought this would be the perfect chance to try some illusion photography, with the floating lid effect for the deodorants. I also layered up some small cylinders to create plinth-like backgrounds to give the effect of the products being in the spot light. This shoot was a lot of fun - I loved playing around with the plinth scenes and "levitating" some products! We then had a mini shoot with model booked for some additional images to support the main photography - perfect for storytelling on social media or populating pages on a website. If you'd like to book a similar project, you can do so here. When Anna from The Balance Brush got in touch about a photoshoot for her patented brush, I realised this was the perfect chance to do something a little different for me. We wanted to create 'glossy' images which could be used in adverts targeted at high end salons. The photos were to feel glamorous, with a subtle vintage luxury feel.
To achieve this I mainly used a seamless backdrop with minimal shaped props - an arch and a cylinder. I also had fun playing with balance visually, in particular with the balance illusion image, as a play on the name of the brush. We also did a few shots with pink satin for a more relaxed luxury look. These clean-look images are perfect for adding text to, whether that's on an advert or a website banner. If you'd like to book a similar project, you can do so here. This photoshoot with @capoladesigns involved lots of different little scene styling with an emphasis on light and airy natural elements with soft colour pops. The natural wooden table backdrop was used to compliment the natural wood of the products. A few of the more neutral props were used from one scene to the next to bring a feeling of continuity.
Stephanie also wanted some photos featuring the products being held to emphasize how they are ideal for gifting. If you'd like to book a photoshoot you can do so here. How dreamy are these cakes!? Two Flowers Bake is a Glasgow/Lanarkshire based bakery creating beautiful occasion cakes and bakes. This project involved a full brand design as well as photoshoot (I'll share the branding on here soon!). Jade wanted her business visuals to be all about the pink and green, that's why she picked me for the job.
I went to Jade's kitchen in Glasgow to photography these gorgeous cakes, armed with my pastel backdrops and vintage props. The final images are fun and fresh with a retro vibe. Scents of the Wild make natural botanical candles and wax melts. For this photoshoot Rachel wanted a witchy apothecary vibe with lots of props from nature. She provided some gorgeous dried botanicals to match the products and I sourced some little glass apothecary bottles to add to my prop collection.
I had a rummage and thought the addition of a vintage postcard, teaspoon and scissors completed the look perfectly. The final images are cosy with the mystery of a magical story behind them. If you’re thinking of booking a project, whether design or photography, I thought I’d share some tips on how to help share your vision. The research you do beforehand means you can provide examples for reference which quickly helps me know exactly what you have in mind (and if I’m the right person for the job).
This was such a cheerful and wholesome styling brief for Bluebelle Bombshell . Jenna provided some beautiful props which had their own stories and I added some from my collection to bring it all together. We wanted to create a sunny nature theme with a feeling of curiosity and inspiration.
The combination of natural props, vintage treasures and colourful pops work so well! |
