A Magical Book Shop Engagement Photoshoot in London

A Magical Book Shop Engagement Photoshoot in London

by Siobhan | Feb 18, 2025 | Families, Weddings

Two years ago, I had the privilege of capturing a surprise London book shop engagement photoshoot that still makes my heart skip a beat. James, who was all the way in the US, reached out to me with a wonderfully romantic plan: he was going to propose to his...

Standing out does not always have to mean being lo Standing out does not always have to mean being louder or trying harder. Sometimes it is simply about being more intentional and more you. 

Branding photography is about showing up in a way that feels honest and confident, without forcing anything. 

As a branding photographer in Colchester, Essex, I love creating images that feel natural, considered and true to the people behind the business. 

If you are thinking about refreshing your brand photos, feel free to pop me a message and we can have a relaxed chat about it.

A few of you have asked me to share the lessons I A few of you have asked me to share the lessons I said I had learned (some of them the hard way) this year. So here they are - 

1. I’m not for everyone (and that’s a good thing!)

Trying to please everyone is exhausting. When I’m myself, I attract my people. It’s a tough one and can make you question yourself. But trust in you and you’ll be great. 

2. Be kind to yourself

Not every day has to be productive. Rest is productive. Saying no is productive. Taking a break without guilt is something I’m still learning. Also talk to yourself as you would talk to your fav people! 

3. There really is enough work to go around

Other photographers aren’t competition — they’re community. Cheering each other on feels way better than comparison. I love the fact that I have so many tog friends and plan on making even more this year!! 

4. Delegating doesn’t mean failing

You don’t have to do everything yourself to be successful. Asking for help has been a game changer (and my sanity thanks me).

5. Progress > perfection

Showing up consistently beats waiting for things to be “perfect”. Growth happens when you just start!

Share your lessons learnt from 2025!!

Thank you to the amazing @kikamitchellphotography for this photo ❤️
So Christmas is almost upon us but I couldn’t sign So Christmas is almost upon us but I couldn’t sign off without sharing this epic shoot with Sarah and her new business. Sarah was really keen to get new photography done before officially launching her business after having her branding done. 

This makes so much sense and is often something people don’t see as very important. But  when you launch a brand new business you want people to take you seriously, which they will as you have professional photos!! 

I cannot wait to shoot with more business owners next year, it’s going to be amazing 👏🏼 

Now back I go to Christmassing 🎄
