Hey you đ
Iâm Amy, a Sussex branding photographer who believes the best photos arenât perfect ⊠theyâre real. Iâm here for the personality, the connection, and the little details that make your business unmistakably yours.
Let’s be honest, branding photography in Sussex for creative women should feel exciting, not overwhelming! But planning a shoot can sometimes feel like staring into your wardrobe five minutes before leaving for dinner and thinking, âI have absolutely nothing to wearâ (even though itâs all in there).
You want photos that feel real and like you, but where do you even start?
Thatâs the golden bit of what I do as a personal branding photographer across Sussex and the South Coast. Itâs not just showing up with a camera and taking a few headshots. We go deeper. Whether you’re running a flower studio, teaching yoga, or creating magic through your own small business, your branding photos should reflect your personality, your energy, and the quiet brilliance of what you actually do.

When Jessica first reached out for her second brand shoot, we didnât dive into rigid shot lists or mood boards straight away. Instead, we just chatted, voice notes back and forth while juggling the chaos of our two businesses and busy lives. Honestly, it was like a conversation with a friend… just with a time delay!
These voice notes werenât just about logistics, they were full of her humour, her self-described âjust a little flower businessâ attitude, and the quiet pride she carries for her beautiful work. From them, I got a real sense of what she wanted. Think: country living magazine, but make it real. We planned a session that felt effortless and true to her … her in her studio, flowers in hand, doing what she loves, while I gently captured it all unfolding.
When I delivered her gallery, she sent a voice note (theyâre our thing now!) saying how emotional she felt. Because what we created looked and felt exactly like how she wants her clients to see her. Not polished, not high-gloss … just warm, calm, natural. And perfectly just her.


If youâre anything like Jessica or many of the brilliant women I work with, you might think you just need âa few decent headshotsâ for your website. But in reality, branding photography is about crafting a whole visual story that covers…
đż Who you are behind the business
đż What it looks and feels like to work with you
đż The vibe and values your brand stands for
đż And yes, a couple of non-cringey headshots too đ
My job is to help you see that your business deserves more than just a profile photo, it deserves to be seen in all its emotional, grounded, sometimes chaotic glory.


Hereâs how we make brand magic that actually feels like you, from our first chat to the final gallery.
However you like to communicate … email, voice notes, snail mail (okay maybe not that one) … Iâll meet you there. I want to hear your voice and understand your brand from the inside out. What drives you? What makes you laugh? What do you want people to feel when they discover your work?
Thatâs the fuel for every photo we create together.
Yes, I bring the camera and the technical brain, but this is a collaboration. Youâre not just a âsubjectâ in front of the lens … youâre a partner in the creative process. Weâll swap ideas, talk through what matters to you, and create visual storytelling that mirrors all of it. I truly believe the best images come from when you feel seen before youâre in front of the camera.
Hereâs my number one piece of advice when it comes to what to wear: donât dress for the person you think you should be. Dress for who you already are. The right outfit is probably already hanging on the back of your chair or folded in your wardrobe.
When you feel comfortable and confident in your clothes, your personality shines right through. Thereâs no need to over-engineer anything, personal brand photography is about you, not the âPinterest versionâ of you.
No stiff poses, no forced smiles. I guide gently so nothing feels awkward or overly performed. Want to be barefoot in your studio, coffee in hand, standing among the tools of your trade? Yes please. Thatâs exactly what I want too.
We create a session that feels like a regular day in your business (just with prettier light and maybe a few rogue giggles).
This isnât just about the classic âlook at the cameraâ shot. Weâll create:
đż Portraits that feel calm and honest
đż Behind-the-scenes images of you doing your thing
đż Flat lays or product shots if thatâs relevant
đż Detail shots of your space, your hands, your craft
đż Movement and moments that hint at your personality
These are the images that help your ideal clients feel connected to you before they even send that enquiry message.


Brand photos arenât just decoration … theyâre your handshake, your welcome mat, your âhey, this is me.â And when done well, they help your dream clients feel like they already know and trust you.
You donât have to have a fancy space or a marketing degree. You just need to be ready to let yourself be seen.
And Iâll be right there guiding you, making it feel natural, friendly, and (dare I say it?) fun.


If youâve been putting off booking your own branding shoot because you’re unsure what it âshouldâ look like … letâs take that pressure off. Whether you’re in Worthing, Brighton, Arundel, or anywhere in Sussex or the South Coast, we can create something beautifully real and totally you.
Your personality is your brandâs superpower. Letâs make sure it shows.
