What a great team to work with 🌟

Earlier in the summer I did a branding photoshoot for Aboria Capital, a real estate and investment manager and partner. They were just the friendliest of people.

I always visit a company before any branding photoshoot to ensure that we have the opportunity to talk through what they need in the context of the location we’ll be using. Most people hate having their photos taken so it’s a great time for them to meet me and be reassured that my approach will be one of fun rather than anxiety-inducing!

It also gives me the chance to do some sample shots so that on the day we can go straight to the set ups that perfectly fit their brand vision. That’s not to say that we don’t fit in some spontaneous shots if we discover something extra whilst walking around during the photoshoot ☺️

Aboria’s Rebecca is the most amazing organiser and had done a super efficient schedule for the photoshoot, which meant we could use every minute of the photography time. We did headshots in their beautiful offices, a series of team shots outside, duo shots of the founders Jessica and Bay, followed by some candid action images of the team. Capturing different angles of a company really brings out the human side to a business and leaves no doubt that Aboria are people you’d really like to work with.

Thank you for asking me to do your photos Aboria, it was a real pleasure working with you all and getting to know your ever-growing business.

If you’d like to learn more about Aboria Capital have a look at their website. I can guarantee you’ll want to work with them 😁

A great mix of highly skilled people persons 🌟

Earlier this year I did a branding photoshoot for Adaptis, a Learning & Development consultancy. Founded by Sara Burks (feature photo) they are made up of a brilliant team of consultants, coaches, learning designers and facilitators, with backgrounds in leadership positions or psychology practice. Together they develop bespoke learning programmes to help others grow, strengthen and make behavioural changes or all three. I met with them a few months before their photoshoot so we could get chatting on how to incorporate as many aspects of their work into their images as possible.

The planning parts of a branding photoshoot are surprisingly straight forward. We sit down and talk about your brand, what makes you all tick, your values, which aspects you want to show off – everything that will give me a strong understanding of your ethos and the nuts & bolts of your company. Then we look at the logistics and how to capture this in images in the most efficient way for you. Sometimes this might be over one morning or across a couple of dates depending how many team members are involved and which locations we’re using.

For Adaptis’s branding photoshoot we hired a big meeting room in the coworking offices where they are based and used a combination of spaces in the building for headshots.

Thank you for such a fun set of photoshoots Adaptis, it was a real pleasure meeting you all and getting to know your business.
