Like most of my clients, Charlotte Hopkins actually HATES having pictures taken or being the face of her business. And yet her company is changing direction, so she’ll need to start showing her lovely face a lot more. That’s why she finally decided to travel from Wales to my Exeter studio and get a folder of professional but authentic photos. Did her camera shyness improve by the end of our shoot? Find out for yourself. “I found Rosie's work 18 months ago, so I've been nicely stalking her since then. This was going to be my very first photoshoot for professional reasons, and I just KNEW it ha ..read more

News flash: business headshots don’t have to look all dull and predictable! I was so happy when Helen Plumridge got in touch about some fun poses and striking portraits to showcase her employees’ personalities. We met through Six Degrees, a fabulous networking group for women in Exeter. So, it was a pleasure to see her again and take photographs of her entire team. Spoiler alert: these aren’t your usual team headshots (you know, the boring ones where every employee looks like they were forced there at gunpoint ?). “We’ve got some new members of the team and wanted something that was fresh, str ..read more

Figuring out what to wear is one of my clients’ BIGGEST worries before a photoshoot! I always tell them to choose what their audience would actually see them wearing if they were to bump into them (and bright colours, of course). However, if you’ve found that you only ever wear a small portion of your clothing, it might be time for a declutter. That was also the case for Lucy Philip, whose learning and development consultancy business helps companies all around the world (how cool is that?!) Discover how she worked with a personal stylist and what the final result looked like. “I was really at ..read more

Colours, energy, and vibrancy: my own style and Viv’s work were a natural match! Viv Bowra is a successful leadership coach who’s worked with MASSIVE household names. But, if you’re planning on hiring her, don’t worry: you can trust her confidentiality. She didn’t spill the beans! What she did mention, though, was having photos taken that didn’t really feel authentic, in the past. Because they didn’t look like her true self or weren’t aligned with her brand, the experience didn’t help her feel confident behind a camera. Did my shoot change this? Let’s find out. “i really would recommend Rosie ..read more

I love transformation. I love seeing the mental change in my clients as the photoshoot progresses - they gain so much confidence and just relax into it! Having music playing, tasty treats on the table, and being able to hang out and relax with me and the team really allows you feel at home - that’s why I have a home studio! If I can make small changes in someones mindset about how they feel about having their photo taken, showing it doesn’t have to be scary and stiff and serious, then I’m happy as Larry! Tracey Campbell works and strives to create transformation and change. We interviewed her ..read more

I recently had my first man in the studio - yes you heard me right! I absolutely love working with women and for a long time it’s been pretty much exclusively women… However as time has gone on, I’ve had more and more enquiries from people who love the bright, colourful and joyful photos that I create. So why not brach out? My ethos stays the same. I take my time with everyone who comes into the studio, regardless of gender, creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere that I find vital to getting all of the personality packed into the photographs! Adam was totally up for playing along with all my i ..read more

Do you ever look at the photos I put online and wonder whether everybody is confident from the get-go? Or if they know what to do in front of the camera right off the bat? Don’t worry! Everybody who comes to my studio has qualms about having their photo taken. Seriously - everyone! No matter the success and influence that someone has, we’re only human and love to nit pick on our so called ‘flaws’! If you have an upcoming photoshoot or are thinking on booking a shoot with me but something is holding you back - don’t worry about being nervous, you are definitely not alone. We see it time and tim ..read more

Communication is so important - especially online! I work with a lot of thought leaders who need to communicate their messages via social media, and having the right imagery for this is vital. It's an even more personalised approach as I choose poses based around your business and the messages you want to share. My clients leave their shoots with a wide range of photos for all sorts of different purposes – from the classic headshots to something a bit more fun and silly that’ll catch attention on social media. It results in images where your personality shines – and it is that shiny quality th ..read more
