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.

- 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.
What's included:
- A pre-shoot consultation to understand your business, your audience and what you need from your images.
- Professional hair and makeup, included as part of the experience.
- A full day of photography at the Lancashire mill, using the studio, the character of the mill and the surrounding outdoor locations.
- Creative direction throughout, with guidance on posing, movement and how to make the most of each setting.
- Time for multiple outfits and looks, giving your final collection plenty of variety.
- A carefully planned mix of portraits, lifestyle images, environmental photographs and brand storytelling.
- A curated gallery of professionally edited images.

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.
A Proper Lunch Break
We'll take time out for a relaxed lunch, giving you a chance to recharge, chat and take a break from being in front of the camera. Lunch is included.
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.
"I usually hate having my photograph taken, but Alison put me at ease immediately. The session was fun and full of laughter. She gave me photographs I'm genuinely proud to share."
THE DIFFERENCE ONE day can MAKE
01
A WHOLE LIBRARY OF IMAGES TO DRAW FROM
No more scrambling for something suitable every time you need to post. You'll have a considered collection of photographs ready to use across your business.
02
YOUR IMAGERY FINALLY FEELS LIKE YOU
Different settings, outfits and ways of photographing you create images with variety, personality and depth — not 30 versions of the same headshot.
03
YOUR BRAND LOOKS PROFESSIONAL EVERYWHERE
From your website and LinkedIn to social media, marketing and PR, you'll have imagery that gives your business a consistent, polished visual presence.
04
YOU'LL HAVE IMAGES THAT KEEP WORKING
This isn't photography for one launch or one social media campaign. It's a visual library you can return to again and again as your business grows.
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 25 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?
Yes. We'll take a proper break during the day, with lunch included as part of the experience.
"Alison really knows how to not only take very good photographs, but she also knows how to put you at ease if you are uncomfortable having your photo taken. I would not hesitate to recommend Alison."
