PHOTOGRAPHY

for women-led brands

that aren’t here to play

SMALL

Real women. Real businesses. Photos that finally feel like you… not a weird version of someone you think you’re supposed to be.

I’m a brand photographer for women-led businesses across Lincolnshire and beyond.

 

I shoot from my own studio or on location, and I specialise in helping women show up without the awkward poses, forced smiles or fake confidence.

Let’s start here!...
...WITH THE BRAND VISIBILITY QUIZ!

...a quick-fire, zero-cringe set of questions to help you figure out;

 

  • What’s really holding you back from showing up,

  • How confident you actually are (hint: probably more than you think),

  • What to focus on next to get camera-ready... without the overwhelm,
     

Whether you're fully hiding or just low-key lurking behind your logo, this quiz is the first step to showing up like the face of your business.

Hey!

You’re running a business. Building a brand. Leading with impact.

 

And whether you’re launching a new service or product line, stepping up your visibility, or finally ditching the stock photos and outdated headshots, you need images that reflect you.

 

The real you. The “I know my sh*t, and I’m done hiding” you.

This is for women who want to feel proud of how they show up online... not just tolerate it.

WHAT I DO...
(and I do bloody well)

I work with women-led brands, from solo founders and creatives to small-but-mighty teams who want more than just “a few nice photos.”

 

They want personality, consistency, confidence.

 

Images that feel like them, not something cooked up in Canva.

 

And if you're not a woman but this still feels like your kind of space? You're welcome too.

Brand Photography

You’re the face of your business - let’s make sure you look like it!

 

Personal brand photography that captures your confidence, not your awkward side-eye. Think editorial vibes, relaxed direction, and photos you’ll actually use!!

Product Photography (Shot in my own studio)

You’ve worked hard to build a beautiful product-based brand, now let’s show it off.

 

Studio photography for small businesses that need clean, stylish, on-brand visuals that convert. No faff, no overpriced prop hire. Just solid, scroll-stopping shots done properly.

Headshots for Teams & SMEs

Your business has grown, and your team photos need to catch up.

 

Professional, personality-filled headshots for small teams that want to look like they belong on the same website (without looking like they’ve just left a corporate away day).

Event Photograaphy

Whether you're running a business summit, a creative workshop or a community meet-up, I’ll capture it with care.

 

No harsh flash, no awkward candids, just beautiful, story-led photography that shows the energy of the room.

Looking for wedding photography?

It’s not my main gig these days, but I do take on a small number of weddings each year, for couples who want natural, relaxed coverage without the fluff.

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME...

I don’t do awkward.

I don’t do “just act natural.”

And I definitely don’t do ring lights and fake laughing into laptops.

Here’s what I do, do... (yes, I said it).

01. BOOK YOUR SHOOT.

We’ll have a quick chat to get clear on what you need, what you want the world to see, and what kind of energy we’re bringing. This is where we get honest about how you want to show up, and what’s been stopping you.

02. TURN UP. I’LL TAKE IT FROM THERE.

You don’t need to practise poses. You don’t need a Pinterest board. You just need to show up, and I’ll guide you through every step. No stiff smiles. No “what do I do with my hands?” moments. Just calm direction and a few jokes at my own expense.

03. GET THE PHOTOS YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO USE.

No gallery full of 200 identical images you’ll never open again. Just personality-packed, professional-as-hell photography that feels like you. Use them on your site. Use them on social. Use them because you actually like them.

WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH...

You’re not here for pretty pictures.

You’re here for photos that work. That help you show up, stand out, and stop second-guessing how you look every time you hit publish.

Here’s what you really get...

PHOTOS YOU’LL ACTUALLY WANT TO USE

On your website, your sales pages, your speaker bio, your socials, your everything.

CONFIDENCE THAT STICKS

Because when you see yourself looking like the real, brilliant CEO you are, you show up differently.

CONSISTENCY ACROSS YOUR BRAND

No more cropping your face out of group pics or using five-year-old selfies that feel nothing like you now.

MORE CONNECTION WITH THE PEOPLE YOU WANT TO WORK WITH

Because now they can see you. And trust you. And click “book.”

The result?

You stop hiding. You start showing up. And your brand finally feels like it fits.

WHAT THEY SAID
(after they stopped hiding)

Nicola recently completed the brand photography shoot for Shh! PR and all I can say is wow! For a team who hate having their photos taken, Nicola was able to not only put us all at ease and make the experience enjoyable but also made our vision for the brand come alive. Would highly recommend.

FROM THE BLOG

No fluff. No fakery. Just honest talk about showing up, being seen, and not cringing at your own face.

Not your first rodeo? Same.

Let’s clear a few things up before you hit "book."

Cool. Neither am I.

But this one’s different... short, honest, useful.

Get the good stuff. Skip the waffle.
