The Experience
What is your photography and videography style?
Elegant, glamorous, and creative. Every session is tailored to highlight your individuality and elevate your brand with sophistication.
I’m not confident in front of the camera—can you help?
Absolutely. My approach is warm and supportive, helping you feel at ease while guiding you through poses that flatter your natural beauty and reveal your confidence.
​
Will my photos all look the same?
No. Each shoot offers variety—outfits, hair, makeup, and settings—ensuring a dynamic collection of content.
What editing do you provide?
I offer tasteful, refined edits that enhance your natural beauty. From subtle touch-ups to more stylised glamour editing, your images will always remain authentic and polished.
​
What’s the difference between standard edits and high-class glamour edits?
Standard edits involve natural retouching for a clean finish. High-class glamour edits are more stylised and artistic, creating perfected surroundings and flawless features.
​
Will we take breaks during the shoot?
Yes. Breaks are built into our time to ensure you remain comfortable, refreshed, and confident throughout.
Do you provide clothing or props?
I offer an extensive range of props to complement your vision with shoes, clothing and accessories for an additional fee.
Do you offer hair and makeup?
Yes, professional hair and makeup can be arranged for an additional fee—please book in advance to secure availability.
​
Can you help me plan outfits for my shoot or retreat?
Yes—styling support is part of the process. I’ll guide you on what to bring so your wardrobe perfectly complements your brand.
​
What happens if I feel overwhelmed during a retreat or shoot?
We’ll pause. My approach is holistic—you’re never rushed or pressured. The experience is about supporting you, not stressing you.
Booking & Preparation
Why is the questionnaire required?
It allows me to fully understand your goals, brand, and needs so your session is completely bespoke and results-driven.
What happens during the phone consultation?
Once your deposit is secured, I review your questionnaire, website, and social platforms. During our call (up to three hours), we design a detailed creative plan aligned with your vision.
​
What should I bring to the shoot?
We’ll discuss this during your consultation to ensure you’re perfectly prepared.
​
How much is the deposit?
A deposit of £250 secures your booking and is applied to your total price when booking photography and videography. When booking a retreat deposit is £500.
Why do you need a deposit?
The deposit confirms your session, secures studio time, and allows me to reserve locations, props, and permits.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. Discretion is a cornerstone of my work. I can also provide model-specific NDAs on request.
​​
Where are you based? Do you travel?
I’m based in the Lake District, UK, and available worldwide. Travel fees apply—please contact me for details. Also see the "Creators Retreat" tab for holiday content getaways.
​​
​
Content & Delivery
Why don’t you provide hundreds of unedited photos like other photographers?
Luxury is about quality, not quantity. I deliver a curated collection of polished, ready-to-use content designed to captivate your audience and strengthen your brand. Giving you countless content that will never be used is timewasting and meaningless, with focus needed to be on maximising your profit.
​
How do you know what photos I need?
Through the detailed questionnaire and consultation, I gain deep insight into your brand and goals, ensuring the content created speaks directly to your audience.
​
How long will it take to receive my content?
Turnaround is typically four weeks, with a maximum of six. Depending on scope, delivery can sometimes be sooner.
How will I receive my content?
Your content will be delivered via a secure online platform or USB, depending on your preference.
How long do you keep my content?
I archive all work for one year. Extended storage is available upon request for a small fee.
​
Do you provide short-form video content (like reels or TikToks)?
Yes—I create polished clips optimised for social media platforms, so you can start posting instantly.
​
​
Professional Standards
What experience do you have?
I hold qualifications and extensive experience in photography, videography, mentorship, business development, beauty, and counselling. I’ve worked with everyone from high-profile models to entrepreneurs, empowering women at all stages of their journey.
What equipment do you use?
I shoot with top-of-the-line Canon cameras, premium lenses, advanced stabilisation, professional lighting, and high-grade audio equipment. Backup systems are always in place to ensure a seamless experience.
​
Are you insured?
Yes. I carry full liability and equipment insurance, and every booking is secured by a detailed contract for peace of mind.
Why is great quality content essential?
Professional visuals aren’t just images—they’re powerful marketing tools. High-quality content elevates your brand, attracts the right clients, and maximises revenue potential.
​
Is everything we discuss kept confidential?
Yes. Your trust is everything. From mentoring sessions to final edits, all conversations and materials remain strictly private.
​
​
Creator Retreats
What is included in a creator retreat?
From the moment you arrive, every detail is taken care of. A private driver will collect you from the airport and escort you to your accommodation, where you’ll enjoy a private room and daily breakfast with refreshments. Each retreat includes at least one group activity, a private-chef dinner, wellness amenities such as a pool, spa, sauna, jacuzzi, or beach access, and a curated welcome hamper.
On the creative side, you’ll receive professionally edited photos and videos, a complete profile revamp, and a three-hour one-to-one consultation. To elevate your content, we also provide unique photography opportunities using luxury vehicles such as cars, boats, planes, or snowmobiles—depending on the destination.
​
How many people are on the retreats?
The maximum girls taken away is 3. This is so im able to give you my undivided attention and we can utilise the most out of your stay.
​
What happens in the consultation?
The consultation is a dedicated time for us to design a clear strategy around your goals. Together, we’ll discuss your vision, brand, and aspirations, then map out a personalised plan to bring them to life. It’s a collaborative, supportive session where we align your creative direction with practical steps for success.
​
What does a profile revamp mean?
A profile revamp is a complete refresh of your online presence. I review your existing platforms and update your visuals, branding, and presentation to ensure they look polished, professional, and aligned with your goals. This includes refined imagery, improved layouts, and strategic adjustments designed to attract the right audience and elevate your brand.
​
​Will I have free time during a retreat?
Yes. Retreats are carefully balanced with structured sessions and personal downtime to relax, explore, and recharge.
​
Are retreats suitable for beginners?
Yes—retreats are designed to empower women at every stage. Whether you’re brand new to content creation or already established, you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and luxury content tailored to your needs.
​
​
Mentorship & Business Growth
What can I expect from mentorship sessions?
Each session is tailored to you. We’ll cover business strategy, branding, social media growth, financial independence, and personal well-being. The goal is to give you clarity and a clear plan for success.
​
Do I need to have an existing brand before working with you?
Not at all. I work with women at every stage—from those starting fresh to those ready to scale. We’ll build your brand identity step by step.
Can you help me move away from the industry I’m in now?
Yes. Many clients come to me seeking a transition. I’ll help you develop new income streams, create a sustainable business model, and shift into a career that feels more aligned with your long-term goals.
​
Do you offer guidance on how to use my content after delivery?
Yes—during our consultation and mentorship, I’ll provide strategies for posting, promoting, and maximising the return on your visuals.
