Studio based personal brand photoshoot. Say, what...? Is that even possible...? Aren't branding photoshoots all done in front of cool, colourful walls and in quirky cafes, demonstrating your 'laptop lifestyle' perfectly? Well... they don't have to be. Personal branding photography communicates who you are to potential clients in a creative and personalised way. And [...]
As you can imagine, 'cheap boudoir photography Bristol' is one of the most common search phrases that come up in my website analytics. And it's totally understandable, that's what we all want, right?

The short answer is YES, yes you do. What does your current business headshot / profile picture say about you? Does it represent your brand? Does it match the image you'd like to convey online? I've lost count how many times I've asked someone in business the same question, and been met with a roll [...]
I recently realised that I don't talk enough about the fact that every single one of my portrait or boudoir customers have access to my ever growing studio wardrobe. I always encourage my customers to bring in their old favourites, new goodies, or borrowed pieces. Along with your own personal items that you bring with [...]

This is a guest post by Shari Knowles make-up artist. As a make-up artist, I can’t really avoid the trends in beauty as they lead a lot of my freelance work. 2017 was a big year for smokey eyes, warm tones and matte liquid lipsticks. Also, big brows, very full coverage foundation and the word [...]
