Even the most talented small business owners can feel invisible online. You’re brilliant at what you do – but your visuals aren’t doing you justice.
You might be:
In a crowded market, generic or outdated photos make it harder for clients to see what sets you apart.
You’ve tried piecing together images yourself, but nothing feels cohesive – and it’s not giving potential clients the right impression.
If your business photos don’t reflect your professionalism, credibility, or personality, you risk being overlooked by exactly the people you want to work with.
You know your business deserves better, but you’re not sure what kind of brand photo shoot you need, or how to make it all feel “like you”.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
I specialise in brand photography that helps small businesses look credible, feel confident, and attract more of the right clients.
"Committed to delivering a great, high quality set of images that align with your business strategy, Donna is thorough and focused, puts a lot of attention on prep, and is determined to make you look your best.
She’s fun to work with, slightly irreverent, and really curious to learn more about your business dreams, goals and ambitions.
If you want a great Edinburgh-based photographer to work with you and help you create not just great photographs but an integrated visual brand, Donna is the woman for you!"
I don’t just take beautiful photos - I create strategic brand imagery designed to support your business goals.
Every brand photo shoot is meticulously planned and tailored to your business, so the final result isn’t just flattering. It's functional.
Whether you need to:
... I’ll guide you through the process with structure, clarity, and expert advice every step of the way.
My clients come away with more than images - they leave with a clear visual identity and the confidence to use it.
It’s not just a photo shoot – it’s a plan
Every brand session starts with strategy. I get to know your business, your audience, and your goals, so we can create photographs that don’t just look good, but work hard for you as valuable communication tools.
That means:
It’s a collaborative process, grounded in insight and shaped around you.
Because when you understand what your photographs are for and how they work, you’ll know exactly how to use them – and they’ll work harder for your business as a result.
No two businesses are the same, and neither are their image needs. That’s why I offer a range of brand photography packages, from focused headshot sessions to full-day content shoots that give you a complete library of on-brand visuals.
Each session is planned with care and built around your specific goals, whether that’s creating a consistent visual identity, showing the human side of your business, or generating content that builds trust and drives enquiries.
If you’re not sure which option is right for you, I’ll help you figure it out – or tailor something that fits.
I offer five core brand photography services, all designed to give you the right images for your business, whether you need a handful of polished headshots or a full suite of content across locations and seasons.

"To say Donna was amazing would be an understatement. The whole process was a really enjoyable journey from start to finish!
She sent me a brand workbook which went into my brand extensively (it asked about values, themes, setting, target audience and much more).
This not only helped Donna get to know my business better but it actually really helped me clarify a lot of things within my business - honestly I think she could sell this book by itself and make a fortune that's how good I think it is!"
I'm a strategic brand photographer based in Edinburgh and working across Scotland, combining creative insight with strong marketing expertise
I specialise in brand photography for small business owners who want more than just a nice headshot. With a background in marketing, communications, PR, and IT, I bring a strategic mindset to every shoot – so your images aren’t just beautiful, they’re built to help your business grow.
Originally from Kingussie in the Highlands, I now work with clients across Edinburgh and throughout Scotland. I approach every session with care, curiosity, and clarity, guiding you through a structured process that’s designed to make you feel at ease while producing images that become valuable digital marketing assets.
And because I know what it’s like to feel uncomfortable putting yourself out there, I’ll never push you into anything that doesn’t feel right. We’ll plan together, collaborate throughout, and create something that genuinely reflects you and your business.
"The value of getting my photographs done went way beyond the images themselves.
Getting my photos done professionally with Donna turned out to be the impetus I needed to update my website, rejuvenate my branding, and make my profile more cohesive across the platforms I use."
Every brand photography session is carefully structured to guide you from uncertainty to clarity. You won’t be left wondering what to wear, where to shoot, or how to pose — I’ll lead you through a clear, thoughtful process that’s focused on your goals, your audience, and what makes your business different.
Once you’ve booked, I’ll send you a detailed brand clarity questionnaire. This digs into the heart of your business: who you are, who you help, what you stand for, and what you want your images to achieve.
You’ll also do a short visual exercise to help shape the creative direction.
We’ll meet to go through your brand clarity questionnaire and start shaping the shoot.
Together, we’ll identify key themes and visual priorities, agree on the right locations, props, and outfits, and map out what we want each image to communicate.
I’ll then turn this into a detailed shoot plan for your sign-off, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
This is where the plan comes to life. We’ll move through the agreed locations, outfits, and setups, with full direction and support from me throughout.
You don’t need to know how to pose or "act naturally" in front of the camera. I’ll guide you clearly and calmly at every step, so we capture authentic, confident images that reflect your brand at its best.
Once you’ve received your image collection, we’ll meet again to review how to use them most effectively.
I’ll help you plan where and how to implement your new visuals, from your website and social media to marketing campaigns, so they start working for your business straight away.
You don’t need to figure this out alone. I’ll guide you every step of the way, with structure, clarity, and expert support from start to finish.
Get practical tips and expert insights to help you plan, prepare for, and get the most out of your brand photography. Whether you're figuring out what to wear, where to shoot, or how to use your images effectively, you'll find support and ideas here.
I'm so happy with the photographs Donna took of me to support my business. Before we even met for the shoot, Donna got to know my business and my brand and really helped me understand the types of images I needed.
During the shoot, she put me at ease - so important! And I've got a load of pictures that I can use on my website and across social media that really reflect me and my brand.
Donna was fantastic during our photo shoot, helping me to feel at ease (I'm not naturally very confident in front of the camera).
The result was stunning photos that I use across my business, on social media, my website, and featured posts. Would highly recommend!
Donna took photographs for me at an event I was running recently. I don't like getting my photograph taken at all but Donna totally put me at ease. I barely even noticed when Donna was taking the photographs.
For anyone looking to get brand or headshot photos taken I'd highly recommend Donna. You won't be disappointed. She's a really lovely person and very easy to work with.
Not quite ready to book? I’m always happy to talk through ideas and help you explore what’s possible.
