WATFORD PERSONAL BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY

SHOW UP FOR YOUR BUSINESS

with confidence

HERTFORDSHIRE, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, ESSEX AND LONDON

As a Watford based small business owner myself, I know that your business is more than a logo or a website — it’s you. It’s the hard work you put in, the story you create around your brand, and the way you show up for your clients. One of the easist ways to show how fabulous you and your business are is with a shiny set of professional looking photos. That’s where Watford personal branding photography comes in.

Think of it as giving your business the glow-up it deserves. A professional set of photos that capture your personality, your space, and your hard work — so your audience connects with you, not just your products or services. Whether you’re a one-person business or a growing team, with a Watford Personal Branding Photography session I’ll help you create images that boost your confidence, show off your brand, and attract the clients you want.

I hear from clients all the time that they’ve realsied their iphone photos just don’t cut it any more. Perhaps your current website or social media feed is just looking a bit beige. With a Watford personal branding photography session I will deliver you a gorgeous set of images that you can use time and again to show off your business story. From beautiful headshots that you’ll be proud of, to a set of photos that illustrate your work space and products as they deserve to be shown, a Watford personal branding photography session will be an investment in your business that works tirelessy for you in your business this year.

Willow Tree School

Rachael came and took photos of our school and children for our new website – the pictures are amazing and Rachael was so lovely to work with. Rachael managed to organise 200 children into a whole school photo and the results were great.
We highly recommend!

It goes beyond a standard headshot and captures who you are, what you do, and what makes you unique—so your audience can instantly connect with you. These images are designed to support your brand, attract your ideal clients, and help you show up consistently and proffesionally across your website, social media, and marketing.

If you want photos that feel like you and work hard for your business, this is for you.

What should I wear to my branding photoshoot?

The best outfits are ones that make you feel like you on a good day. Think clothes that align with your brand, your type of work, and that make you feel confident and comfortable. Don’t worry—every session comes with a guide to help you plan.

I can put you in touch with lots of hair and make up artists if you’re looking to feel a little more polished on the day.

I've never done this before - will you help me pose?

100% yes, I’ve got you. I’ll guide you every step of the way with gentle direction, prompts, and encouragement so everything feels natural and relaxed (and those awkward faces will soon turn into beautiful smiles, I promise).

Your shoot can take place in a studio, at an outdoor location, in your workspace, or at a lifestyle location that fits your brand. We’ll choose a setting that supports your story and the kind of images you want to create.

Can I bring props or products?

Yes! Props and products are encouraged. Whether it’s your laptop, tools of your trade, notebooks, coffee cups, or products you sell, these details help bring your brand to life and make your images feel authentic and intentional.

How many images will I receive?

All my branding packages include all edited images so there’s nothing extra to pay (except for Headshot Mini Sessions). The number of images you receive depends on the package you choose. You’ll receive a curated gallery of high-quality, professionally edited images designed to give you variety and flexibility for marketing your brand.

Your branding photos are yours to use across your website, social media, newsletters, marketing materials, and press features. They’re created to support your business wherever you show up—online and beyond.

Favourite Hertfordshire Locations for Branding Shoots

Maybe you work from home, or maybe you’re looking around you at your rather small and dimly lit office or shed and thinking ‘But I can’t have beuatiful photso like those!’. Think again! I am flexible to travel anywhere in Hertfordshire, but even near Watford itsled there are many options to choose from for professional images. From light-filled cafés to countryside backdrops and modern urban spaces, there’s a location here that will perfectly support your brand and tell your story.

NATURAL AND OUTDOORS

If you’re dreaming of doing a yoga pose in the woods, or strolling through rolling fields, we have all this on our doorstep in Watford. Whippendell Woods, Cassiobury Park and Leavesdon Country Park all provide a wonderful selection of natural backdrops all year round.

URBAN AND MODERN

For businesses who want the outdoors look with a city vibe, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to beautiful town centre backdrops. St Albans and Berkhamsted offer charming cobbled streets, while Watford and Wembley bring more of a modern London city feel.

CAFE CULTURE

For a relaxed, lifestyle feel, cafés and pubs in Watford and the surrounding areas are full of character—think cozy corners and pretty backdrops. Most venues require permission, but I’ll handle that for you, so all you need to do is show up and shine.

ON THE SOFA VIBES

If you want your shoot to feel personal and relaxed, I know several beautifully decorated studio locations that can be rented. With modern, comfortable interiors, these spaces offer gorgeous backdrops like bookcases, kitchens, and cozy corners—perfect for capturing the warmth and authenticity of home.
