I had a fantastic shoot with Nicole. It was the first time I ever did anything like this and I really appreciated her approach. From the early communication, which included tips on being prepared etc, to the day itself. I felt safe in her hands. Nicole is a calm and intuitive photographer and I will absolutely use her services again, and have already happily recommended her to family and friends. Just brill.

Project Love

Nicole is amazing! We ALWAYS use her to take our shots for Project Love. We need our promo photos to be vibrant, fun and full of our personality and she nails it every time. She is so good at putting us at ease and helping us to have fun so that the photos are always brilliant. We also sent clients her way to do dating profile or business shots and again they are phenomenal. Nicole really is such a talented photographer and gets the best out of even the most camera shy person!

Carolina AP

In the visual times we live today, we simply needed some good shots to present myself for talks, create speaker profiles, do the corresponding social media or my latest brochure. The pictures I had were good, but simply did not represent me anymore. We all change. And it was time to get some refreshed, natural pictures.

Nicole did a stellar job and was somehow able to capture my true essence. I am super grateful to her.

Carolina AP, Public Speaker C&Co.

Rebecca Allen

I have done a lot of shoots in the past, but working with Nicole is the first time I felt totally comfortable. I really enjoyed the shoot and was thrilled with the results. For the first time I had photos that really felt like 'me' and I could use without any reservations. I would absolutely recommend her and wouldn't consider using anyone else next time I need photos.

Rebecca Allen, Communications Trainer & Singer

Graham Boyd

Nicole's photos for my personal and company branding communicated clearly who I am, perfectly in line with my brand consultant's overall design brief. And she made the session itself a fun with her creativity; and patience getting me to do what she needed. She's now my go-to person for all London work.

Graham Boyd, CEO & Founder of Evolutesix

Prince Charles Cinema

Nicole's set of photos are some of the best images of the cinema we have ever seen; not only has she managed to perfectly capture how the venue looks, but also how it feels.  We believe the quality of her work has helped convince many clients to hire the venue with the response to requests for images is unanimously met with positivity and compliment. It was a pleasure to work with Nicole and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Paul Vickery, Head of Progamming at Prince Charles Cinema

Pink Mingo

We have used Nicole for two photo shoots so far, and would definitely use her again as our team grows. She is warm, funny, talented and puts you at ease - the perfect ingredients to get great photos!

Nicole is by far one of the best photographers in London. I regularly book her for PR campaigns for Lumen. Also her wedding pictures and head shots are amazing. Nicole is always professional and a pleasure to work with. Would recommend her 100%.

League of Her Own

I've had several photoshoots with Nicole and hired her for several events and the fact I keep going back shows how good she is! I couldn't recommend her enough!

Caroline Brealey, Founder of Mutual Attraction & League Of Her Own

Charly Lester

Nicole has worked for me multiple times, across 3 different companies, and also doing individual headshots for me, and I could not recommend her more. Her work is beautiful, she has a great attitude, and she has the amazing ability to make nervous subjects feel great. I love my new headshots and am now using them everywhere!

Charly Lester, Start-Up Marketing Expert

Brandgenuity

A Real Pro! My small business has used Nicole for two assignments: once to do our employee headshots, and then again to capture photos of a multi-day event. Nicole was completely reliable and professional, with a lovely manner that put everyone at ease. The photos were fantastic and she's now become our go-to resource when we need a photographer in London. I would recommend Nicole without hesitation.

Teri Niadna, Brandgenuity

Nadia Saad

I had the most amazing time! Thank you so much Nicole for putting me at ease and for allowing me to really feel comfortable! Best shoot ever!

Headshots & Branding Photos

Branding photography plays a crucial role in helping small businesses and entrepreneurs stand out and make a lasting impression in today's crowded marketplace. In a world where we are constantly bombarded with information and options, it's important for your business to have a strong visual identity that captures your unique essence.

This is where brand photography comes in.

For small companies, photography goes beyond just having professional headshots. It's about creating a visual narrative that tells the story of your brand and showcases your personality and values. It's about capturing the essence of who you are and what you stand for and conveying that to your audience through powerful and engaging imagery.

Photography for your brand can help you build credibility and trust with your target audience. When done right, it will convey professionalism, authenticity, and attention to detail. It will help establish a strong visual identity that sets your brand apart from the competition and makes it instantly recognisable.

High-quality, visually appealing images have been shown to increase engagement and drive conversions. By investing in professional branding photography, your business will create a strong visual presence that not only grabs attention but also keeps customers coming back for more.
