Here's the thing...
Running your own business is *hard* (understatement of the year)
You find this thing you love.
Something you can make money from.
…and something which fits around your family (which is the dream, right?)
…and very quickly realise that the bit you love…
Is actually one of a billion* hats you have to wear to keep things going.
*said hats including: owner, creator, marketing guru, social media whizz, bookkeeper (to name a few)
- - - -
...and on top of that?
You're a Mum too.
The best (but let's face it, most exhausting!) job on the planet!
...and honestly?
That's why I want to do things differently.
-----
Because I GET IT.
I get that not everyone wants, needs (or quite frankly has time for!) a whole day photoshoot, multiple outfit changes and the "the whole kit and caboodle"
I also know first-hand that as Mums, the time we get to spend on our business is incredibly precious...
...and what we actually need is a set of beautiful, professional images to get us started that we can use and share on our website and socials.
-----
So that's why I've created something extra special - *exclusively* for the amazing Mums in Business we have here in Kent...
Imagine this...
You.
The beautiful business *you* have created from scratch…
…and the place where all the magic happens.
Captured by a fellow Mum-in-business who truly sees what an incredible job you are doing.
These sessions are perfect for you if...
~ You want something more than a traditional "headshot" (and hate the idea of anything stuffy, posed or fake)
~ You know you need to share your face online but you're currently using the same selfie you've had for years.
~ You struggle to find photographs that truly represent *your* business and why it's different from everything else out there.
~ You'd love a bank of beautiful, professional images to choose from to make it instantly easier to show up on your website and socials.
~ You want to celebrate how far you’ve come and how much you’ve achieved in your business and a photoshoot feels like the perfect way to do this.
Don't just take my word for it...
Kind words...
"...I had been meaning to have some professional branding photos taken for a while, and I’m so glad I waited for the right person to come along.
The wonderful Claire absolutely nailed it for me.
I knew she took beautiful family photos but it was when I first spotted her branding work after she did a shoot for a friend, I just knew she’d be the perfect fit.
From the very first phone call, Claire made everything easy.
She asked all the right questions, gave me ideas, and really collaborated so the shoot reflected me.
On the day, she helped both me and my lovely model feel relaxed and comfortable (no mean feat when you’re not used to being in front of the camera!).
The results? I’m thrilled.
Claire has such a unique style of photography — warm, natural, and beautifully true-to-life.
If you’re thinking about having a family photography session, or a branding shoot like mine for your business, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Claire. She’s truly brilliant at what she does.
Thank you Claire, you’ve given me photos I’ll treasure and proudly use...."
INVESTMENT
I know that showing up in your business can feel daunting; especially if you’re not used to being in front of the camera.
My branding sessions are designed to feel relaxed, supportive and completely tailored to your business, so you come away with a beautiful set of images that feel natural, aligned and truly you.
After your session, I carefully hand-edit your images and present them in a beautiful online gallery, where you can choose the collection that best suits you and your business.

Hey, I'm Claire
I know from experience that going out on your own is tough.
You never know if you are doing ‘enough’.
You second guess everything.
You don’t have a mid-year review or a boss to tell you that you are doing a good job.
You get consumed by all the things you think you ‘should’ be doing and constantly compare yourself to everyone else around you…
…and sometimes, it can get pretty lonely.
You might be working in your living room or from the dining table...
You might be lucky enough to have a designated workspace...
But the likelihood is, you spend a huge portion of your working time on your own…
…and that’s one of the reasons I wanted to offer these sessions.
Because I want to show you just how amazing you truly are.
I want you to see what I already see.
I want to tell you that you are doing a bl**dy fantastic job and that you should be SO proud of yourself.
Because it is hard.
…and doing it alongside raising a family, that’s a whole other level
💪❤️
