Commercial Photography

 

Make your Website, Marketing Literature and Social Media pages stand out with bespoke images that tell the story of YOUR business. 

Many people buy 'stock images' to promote their business, but these are generic images used by many organisations; they don't promote YOUR business.  I can work with you to identify the products and services that tell your story best; the things that make you stand out from your competitors, your Unique Selling Point

Together, we will come up with a range of images that are personal to you - you can boost your advertising knowing that there is definitely no-one else out there using these images, they are guaranteed unique to your business.

 

 

 

 

 

  • General website images to promote your business whether you are updating your existing website or launching a new one
  • Images tailored to fit specific elements of your website e.g. home page galleries; headline banner images; special offer promotions; team headshots
  • Social Media - lift your social media presence with profesionally shot images for general sharing; profile pages; cover pages; story pages
  • Brochures, leaflets, flyers - create high impact marketing literature with bespoke images that you know you won't find on your competitor's materials

 

Whether you need only a few images for a promotion or a full website revemp, drop me a note or give me a call and let's chat

Family & Lifesyle

 

Family moments are always special moments, whether it is a fun day out with young children, a special birthday, graduation, or big family reunion or celebration. 

Why not let someone else worry about getting good photos of the day so that you and your loved ones can just concentrate on enjoying the moment!

Photos will be made available in an online gallery for you to review and select your favourites.

Selected images can be made available on a USB stick, but why not also treat yourself to a large framed image, or smaller desk / table top frames so you and your friends can enjoy looking at them.  There are a huge variety of options avaiable to suit all tastes and budgets so please give me some idea of what you are looking for and I will pull together some options for you.

 

 

 

As well as general family events, coverage is also available for other 'lifestyle' events.

This could be a walk in the country with your four legged friend, or maybe a ride along the beach with your beloved horse or pony.

If it is special to you, then there are special memories to be created and recorded, so why not bring me along with you and let me help you make those memories special for a long time to come.

Send me a note with some details of what you are planning and I will pull together some packages for you to consider and we can then personalise them to suit your needs.
