The Editorial Brand Experience
 
 
 
Lancashire brand photographer
More Than a Headshot. More Than Content.
A full-day editorial photography experience, thoughtfully planned around you and your business. We'll use the character of the mill, studio spaces and surrounding outdoor locations to create a varied collection of sophisticated images for your website, marketing and social media.
 
This is for you if:
- You want more than 'just another headshot'.
- You need a bank of professional images you can use across your website, social media, marketing and PR.
- You want photographs that show different sides of you and your business.
- You'd love your brand photography to feel more editorial, creative and considered.
- You want the whole experience planned for you — from hair and makeup to locations, outfits and the photography itself.
- You want to walk away with a collection of images that will keep working for your business long after the day is over.

How it works
Before the day
We'll have a planning consultation to talk through your business, your brand, the images you need and how you'd like to be photographed. We'll also plan your outfits and the different looks we want to create.
When you arrive
Your professional hair and makeup will be taken care of before we start shooting, giving you time to settle in and get comfortable.
Throughout the day
We'll work through the studio, the character of the mill and the surrounding outdoor locations, creating different looks and types of imagery. I'll direct you throughout, so you never have to worry about what to do.
After your shoot
I'll carefully curate and edit your images before presenting you with your gallery to choose your final collection.
Your images
You'll receive 30 professionally edited images, giving you a versatile visual library to use across your business.

FAQ
Where do the shoots take place?
The experience takes place at a characterful Lancashire mill, with a lifestyle studio as our base. We'll also make use of the mill itself and the surrounding parkland and countryside, giving us a variety of settings throughout the day.
Is there parking?
Yes, there's a large car park behind The Old Bridge Inn across the road from the mill.
What time should I arrive?
I'll give you a specific arrival time when your shoot is booked, allowing plenty of time for your hair and makeup before we begin photographing you.
How long is the session?
This is a full-day photography experience. We'll take our time, allowing for hair and makeup, outfit changes, lunch and plenty of variety in your photographs.
What if I feel awkward in front of the camera?
You're not alone – most of my clients say exactly the same before their session. I'll guide you throughout, from posing to expression, so you'll never be left wondering what to do. My aim is to create natural, confident images that feel like you.
How many images will I receive?
You’ll receive a curated gallery to choose from, with 30 beautifully edited images included and the option to purchase more.
How do I secure my space?
A 50% non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your space. The remaining balance is due at least 7 days before The Editorial Brand Experience. Once your booking fee has been received, you'll receive your preparation guide and everything you need ahead of your session.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SHOOT?
I'll carefully curate and edit your photographs before presenting your gallery for you to choose your final 30 images. Your finished images will then be professionally edited and supplied ready to use across your business.
Is hair and makeup included?
Yes. Professional hair and makeup are included in your experience, so you can arrive knowing it's already been taken care of. Please arrive makeup-free with your hair clean and blow-dried.
What if I don't want the makeup and hairstyling?
Professional hair and makeup is included as part of the experience and has been carefully chosen to help you look and feel your best on camera. The styling is always natural and tailored to you, enhancing your features while ensuring you still look like yourself. If you prefer not to make use of the service, that's absolutely fine, but the package price remains the same.
Can I bring props or products?
Absolutely. Bring anything that represents your business, such as products, a laptop, notebooks, packaging or branded items. We'll use them naturally throughout your session to create images that feel personal to your brand.
Is lunch included?
Refreshments and snacks will be available during the shoot. You can stop for a tea or coffee break anytime.
 
Your business has evolved. Your photography should too
 
Your business deserves imagery that reflects where you are now. The Editorial Brand Experience gives you a full day to create a varied, considered collection of photographs — from polished portraits to relaxed lifestyle and environmental images — all designed to work across your brand.
If you're ready for photographs that feel like you, your business and where you're going next, let's talk.
