Brand photography and headshots in Edinburgh and across Scotland
I provide brand photography and headshots for service-based small business owners across Edinburgh and Scotland who want their work to be understood clearly and taken seriously online.
This is photography designed to support steady, credible, and manageable visibility.
You might be planning a rebrand or launch and need a full library of images that will last. Or you might simply need a focused update so your website and marketing reflect where your business is now. Either way, the aim is the same – images that fit naturally into your business and are easy to use.
If you are unsure what kind of photography you need, I can help you work that out. You may also find this guide useful: What kind of business photography do you need?
What working together looks like
Every brand photography session follows a clear, well-structured process, so you know what is happening and why.
We take time to plan properly, talk things through honestly, and make decisions with clarity before the shoot takes place. On the day itself, you are guided calmly and clearly. You do not need to know how to pose, what to wear, or how to “be on camera”. The structure is already in place.
The result is a set of images that feel accurate, professional, and easy to use across your website and marketing.
Once you have booked, you will receive a detailed brand clarity questionnaire. This covers who you are, who you help, what your business stands for, and what you want your images to communicate.
You will also complete a short visual exercise, which helps shape the overall direction of the shoot and ensures we are aligned before we plan anything further.
We then meet to review your responses and shape the shoot together.
We identify priorities, agree on locations, outfits, and visual themes, and map out what each set of images needs to do. I turn this into a detailed shoot plan for your approval, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
On the shoot day, we work through the agreed plan at a steady pace.
You do not need to know how to pose or how to “act naturally”. I will guide you clearly and calmly throughout, so the process feels manageable and the images reflect you and your business accurately.
(Included with Soar and Transcend packages)
After you receive your image collection, we meet again to look at how to use them effectively.
I will help you decide where and how your images fit across your website, social media, and marketing, so they support visibility and trust without creating more work or uncertainty.
You do not need to figure any of this out alone. I guide you through the process from start to finish, with structure, clarity, and considered support throughout.

Headshot and brand photography services
Brand photography packages
I work with a limited number of business photography clients each month so I can give each project the attention it deserves. If you are considering booking, it is worth getting in touch sooner rather than later.
Below is an overview of my core brand photography packages. If you are not sure which option fits your business, we can talk it through and choose the right approach together.
If you are still weighing up your options, this guide explains the differences between common types of business photography.
TRANSCEND
A complete brand photography library
Transcend is a half-day brand photography session designed to support your business for the longer term.
You will receive up to 120 professionally finished images, created with a clear plan for how they will be used across your website, marketing, and content. Guidance is included before and after the shoot so the images work hard for you once they are live.
This option is well suited to rebrands, launches, or businesses that want a comprehensive image library to draw from over the next nine to twelve months.
MOST Popular
SOAR
Consistent visibility and fresh content
Soar is my most popular package and is designed for businesses that want to show up regularly with clarity and consistency.
The session includes around 60 finished images from a two-hour shoot, with planning and strategic support built in. It is ideal for maintaining a strong online presence over the next three to six months without starting from scratch each time.
ELEVATE
A focused brand refresh
Elevate is a one-hour brand photography session that provides 25 carefully edited images.
It is a good fit if you need a clear, well-considered visual update for your website, social media, or email marketing, or if you are commissioning brand photography for the first time and want a clear, supported introduction.
Headshots and subscription plans
HEADSHOTS
If you need a small number of polished, professional images, my headshot sessions offer a simple, relaxed way to update how you appear online.
These sessions are suitable for LinkedIn, websites, speaker profiles, and press use. The focus is on creating images that feel approachable, confident, and credible, without forcing anything that does not feel like you.
SUBSCRIPTION PLANS
Ongoing brand photography across the year
My subscription plans are designed for businesses that want consistent, seasonal brand photography without the hassle of rebooking each time.
You receive multiple sessions across a 12-month period, making it easier to plan ahead, spread the cost, and keep your visuals aligned with how your business evolves through the year.
Brand design and photography - together
GRAPHIC DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY FOR YOUR BRAND
If you are struggling to pull your visual identity together, this collaborative package combines strategic graphic design with brand photography.
Rather than managing multiple suppliers, you receive a cohesive set of visuals created by two professionals working in close partnership. The result is a clear, consistent brand presence that works across all your platforms.
Bespoke brand photography
If you already work with a marketing or brand team, or you have a clear brief that does not fit neatly into my standard packages, I can create a tailored photography session for you.
This might include commercial photography, creative projects, or something more specialised. If the work is a good fit, I am happy to explore a bespoke approach.
