Colour, Cameras & Catch-Ups: A London Branding Shoot with Tanya

by Siobhan | Aug 20, 2025 | Branding

I was asked yesterday to write one word that sums I was asked yesterday to write one word that sums up what I struggle with most in my business. Mine was TIME. There were about 12 of us round the table and I just assumed everyone would say the same. But the word that kept coming up was VISIBILITY. Showing up. And I get it. It can feel really exposing putting your face on stories or talking about what you do. It’s much easier to hide behind the work. But this is what I say to my clients all the time… who are you actually showing up for? It’s not for other business owners. It’s not for the algorithm. It’s for the people who are thinking about booking you. The ones who want to know who you are, what you’re like, why you care about what you do and whether they feel comfortable with you. Especially now. With so much AI, so much noise and so many scams flying around, people just want to see a real human. Your face. Your voice. Your personality. That’s where trust starts. And trust is what books the job. So if you’ve been hiding a bit, this is your gentle nudge.
I’m on the lookout for a lovely newborn family in I’m on the lookout for a lovely newborn family in Essex to model for a shoot. It’ll be calm, cosy and very baby-led. Lots of cuddles, feeding breaks, no pressure at all — and I’ll be quietly capturing both photos and a little bit of video along the way. The images and clips would be used across my website and socials. If this sounds like your kind of thing (or you know someone who’d be perfect), pop me a message and I’ll share the details. Feel free to tag or pass this on
The Capture Collective is finally here. After a y The Capture Collective is finally here. After a year of planning, I’m so excited to finally launch my first Capture Collective. Think relaxed networking, fresh air, seasonal content, headshots and proper connections. We’ll start with quick intros, then head out for an hour in nature creating content together, modelling for each other and capturing images as we go. After that, we’ll head back to the coffee shop for another hour of chats, cake and a couple more headshots. Plus, the lovely Claire Johnson will be joining us to capture behind the scenes b-roll for everyone to use. Thursday 26 February 10–12:30 Hylands Park 3 headshots included Refreshments included £125 6 spaces available Message me if you’d love to join us 📸
Family shoots make such a thoughtful gift. Especi Family shoots make such a thoughtful gift. Especially for grandparents and wider family who just love having everyone together. A bit of time, lots of cuddles, a few laughs, and those moments that matter more as the years go on. Who would you gift one to?
Spring family shoots are coming in thick and fast Spring family shoots are coming in thick and fast and I LOVE it. The thought of warmer days, lighter evenings, fresh flowers everywhere 🌷
