Not mad keen on having your photo taken?
BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Over the past 12 years I’ve refined techniques that help people relax in front of the camera, creating natural, flattering and characterful images.
What Branding Photography Can Do For Your Business
Brand photography goes beyond simple headshots. It tells the story of you, your work and the experience clients can expect when they work with you.
From relaxed portraits and behind-the-scenes moments to images of your workspace, tools and process, branding photography helps create a consistent visual identity for your website, social media and marketing.
Shine a spotlight on your corner of the internet
I specialise in characterful, genuine images for small businesses that help leave a distinctive mark and a lasting impression on your customers.
I love getting to know my customers well, and in branding photography, this really helps me determine which particular set of images best represents you and will engage your audience. Photographs of you, your team, your products and/or service, your processes, your environments, your life, and the details that uniquely tell the story of your business and brand.
From over 12 years of photographing people, I know that how you feel in the moment your photo is taken very much affects how you’ll feel when you see the finished results. If you’re feeling awkward and uncomfortable at the time – you’ll remember that. Therefore …….
No fake laughs or forced smiles happen on my shoots. When you look at your gallery of images you’ll remember how good and how relaxed you were feeling – that the smiles and laughter are genuine, which in turn enables you to share those images online without fear or embarrassment of being anything other than authentically yourself.
All of my packages start with a chat about your business. After we book your package, we work through a branding questionnaire to help plan the shoot (s).

Is Branding Photography Right for You?
Branding photography is for you if you want your business to feel more personal, professional and recognisable.
It’s a good fit if you’re a small business owner, creative, coach, consultant or service provider who wants photographs that show more than just a headshot – images that reflect your personality, the way you work and the experience clients can expect from you.
You might be ready for a branding shoot if:
- your website and social media no longer feel like they reflect your business
- you’re relying on cropped phone photos or images that don’t feel consistent
- you want to look more professional and approachable online
- you need a bank of images for your website, LinkedIn, newsletters and social media
- you want photographs that feel like you, rather than something stiff or overly posed
Branding photography works especially well for businesses built on trust and connection, where people are buying not just a service, but the person behind it.
If that sounds like you, a branding shoot can give you a library of natural, characterful images that help your business feel more visible and more recognisable.
You don’t need to know how to pose
The most common things people say to me before a any shoot is, “I look awful in photos, and “I’m not photogenic.”
The truth is, most of the people you see on this page said exactly the same thing before their shoot.
You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. My approach is relaxed and conversational, using simple prompts and natural interactions so that expressions feel genuine rather than staged.
Instead of focusing on poses, we focus on creating a comfortable environment where you can simply be yourself – and that’s when the most natural and engaging photographs happen
What to Expect From Your Branding Shoot
Before the Shoot
Every branding shoot begins with a conversation.
We’ll talk about your business, your audience and how you want people to feel when they see your images. I’ll send a short questionnaire to learn more about your brand, along with ideas for locations, clothing and the type of images that would work best for your website and social media.
Together we’ll create a simple shoot plan so that when the day arrives, everything feels clear and relaxed
During the Shoot
Most people tell me they feel awkward in front of the camera – and that’s completely normal.
My approach is friendly and relaxed. Rather than stiff poses, I guide you through simple prompts and natural interactions so the photographs feel genuine and comfortable.
We’ll capture a variety of images, including portraits, moments of you working, and details that help tell the story of your business.
After the Shoot
After the shoot, your images are carefully edited and presented in a private online gallery where you can download them easily.
You’ll have a collection of photographs you can use across your website, LinkedIn, newsletters and social media – helping you present your business confidently and consistently.
Many clients find that one branding shoot provides months of visual content for their marketing

WHAT THE CLIENTS SAY
“I’ll admit, getting business shots wasn’t something I was looking forward to”
Justine, you are absolutely amazing to work with. I was absolutely blown away and quite emotional receiving the pics!! They are so beautiful and I can feel the emotion and the good time we had in them all.
I’ll admit, getting business shots wasn’t something I was looking forward to, but Justine you made it so genuinely fun! So not only were the end pics so nice, the day was a really great experience. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t like having pics taken!
Thank you so much for capturing these moments! Can’t thank you enough, they are truly special and you are such a delight to work with!!!!
“Resulted in photos that I couldn’t be happier with, and perfect for my marketing”
I had an amazing experience working with Justine for my brand photography. From the start, Justine put me at ease and understood exactly how to capture the essence of my business. She made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. Her attention to detail, creativity, and ability to put me at ease resulted in photos that I couldn’t be happier with, and perfect for my marketing. I highly recommend Justine to anyone looking for high-quality brand photography!
“Justine is not only a talented photographer but also a clever and intuitive professional who truly understands how to bring out the best in her clients”
I cannot recommend Justine highly enough! As someone who specializes in working with the ‘camera shy’ she has an incredible gift for making you feel completely at ease. Justine recently did a professional photoshoot for me to showcase my Executive & Career Coaching work and Training/Development workshops. The experience was absolutely delightful from start to finish.
Her gentle and unassuming demeanour, paired with her skilful ability to make the camera practically disappear, transformed what could have been a daunting session into one filled with laughter and ease. Justine is not only a talented photographer but also a clever and intuitive professional who truly understands how to bring out the best in her clients.
The results speak for themselves. The photographs that genuinely capture who I am and reflect the essence of my work. If you’re looking for someone who can make even the most camera-shy individual feel confident and comfortable, Justine is the one to call. Thank you, Justine, for such an enjoyable experience and outstanding results!
“Well Organised and Professional”
Justine was such a pleasure to work with for my brand update photography. Justine is a warm and friendly, whilst being extremely well organised and professional. I’m delighted with the images and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Justine to anyone, she will definitely be my go to photographer from now on!
“The final images have truly elevated my business”
I had the absolute best experience working with Justine of Berties Photography for my branding photos! From the very beginning, she was incredibly well-organized, guiding me through planning meetings, outfit choices, and how to bring my vision to life. On the day of the shoot, she helped me to feel relaxed and at ease, helping me very patiently with how to hold myself, props, etc and saying funny things to get me laughing and capturing such natural moments.
I was very nervous and uncomfortable about being photographed. I needn’t have been Justine was so patient and understanding, and she made it fun!
The final images have truly elevated my business. I’ve used them across my website and social media, and they’ve helped build trust with my clients by allowing them to see me and my work in the best light. I honestly couldn’t have imagined looking any better! I’m so thrilled with the outcome and can’t recommend Justine enough. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, and makes the process fun, she’s the one!
