Good Morning you shexy humans! I thought I'd answ Good Morning you shexy humans!

I thought I'd answer a question I get asked a lot...

What's the difference between a brand shoot and a group shoot? And which one should I go for?

Let's start with brand shoots, or what I call PERSONAL BRAND EXPERIENCES!

They are my VIP badass experience with half day and full day options on offer. 

These longer 1-1 sessions are all about feeling special, treating yourself, having exclusive access to me, getting my full attention - they are also the more desirable option on the Professional Rebel menu as they are by application only🦄

This is about getting me ALL TO YOURSELF and are about me really bringing out what makes you different and amazing at what you do. 

I have magic powers and I really am not afraid to use them!

Before we work together, we go through a full branding questionnaire so I can really get to know what you're about and what you're trying to do in the world. 

Then, using your answers, I intuit how this shoot is supposed to look and feel - I then carefully curate a Vibe and Vision Inspiration Board which we then look over together, plan our adventure and this gives you a chance to ask me any questions you may have about the experience together.

We then shoot, and you get a heap of images from the day, various looks, feels and locations whilst all on brand - perfect for showing up on your social media for the next few months.

This is for people who aren’t afraid to be seen or who are ready to take that step into being visible... and even if you have a wobble on the day, do not worry, I will be able to tell before you do (told you I was magic) and I'll know exactly what to do to snap you out of it and back into the present moment, and probably laughing your arse off :)

And so you can see an example, here's a shoot from one of my amazing clients, Alli Graham, you should totally check her out, she's amazing at what she does, and is completely bonkers too.
Oh what’s that? Almost half of all the spots sol Oh what’s that? Almost half of all the spots sold before I make an official announcement? Best make an announcement then!!!

Group Shoot Socials in LONDON at the end of July. Spots will sell out. Shout me for more info x

Imagine knowing who you really are, being that per Imagine knowing who you really are, being that person i.e. having the courage and confidence to F*%@ING OWN IT!

Imagine healing the relationship with yourself, being proud of who you are and learning to stop being so much of a c*nt to yourself

Imagine doing the things you want and showing up for yourself NO MATTER WHAT

Imagine learning to f*%k everything that ever made you feel less than and instead taking the lessons, learning from the experience without carrying any resentment and learning to LET GO of sh*tty feelings

Imagine learning the skill of NEVER GIVING UP ON YOURSELF 

Imagine being brave enough to go where where most people won't dare, both internally and externally

Imagine life, and business, UNEDITED.

I'd love for you to meet my client Roz Knox We ha I'd love for you to meet my client Roz Knox

We had a photoshoot together recently - this is one of the images from our session

Roz is no stranger to anxiety. It's something she talks a lot about promoting her work as the Metal Chick Hypnotherapist. Go check her out, she's so bloody cool!

She came to London to meet me for a photoshoot whilst I was down there

Now for most people, coming to London isn't a big deal. Photoshoots can and do give people a wobble occasionally but the going to London part, is usually a fairly manageable thing

However Roz had never been to London on her own before, so the very act of coming down on the train to meet someone she'd never met in person before, travelling by herself for a branding photoshoot was a HUGE deal

She pushed herself out of her comfort zone to do this

Obviously I made sure she felt taken care of throughout - from booking to delivery of the photos like I do with all my clients

I know photoshoots, being visible and pushing past comfort zones can do all sorts of weird and wonderful things to our brains

But magic things happen when you stretch the edges of your comfort zone

First of all, Roz had a wonderful time.
And as soon as she got her photos, she shared these words online:

"I’ve received some absolutely SMEXY pictures! When you say; FUCK IT, I’M DOING IT you reap the rewards and you get tangible proof of your bravery, your strength and self worth to overcome your insecurities and anxieties. I’m living proof of that"

It doesn't matter if you hire me for Personal Branding Photography or work with me in my Membership Community, The Courage & Confidence Crew. This is what happens when you spend time with me!

I receive so many messages about how people come away feeling like the best versions of themselves, that I saw something in them they didn't see before or that they feel like they've been attached to some jump leads after a session with me - and I have all the screenshots to prove it too!

If you're reading any of this thinking, hmmm I need me some of this magic, please get in touch, I've got availability for shoots in April and I'll be opening the doors to my membership community very soon too x
"Who am I to stand out?" It's funny listening bac "Who am I to stand out?"

It's funny listening back to this. 

This was my very first podcast appearance - 5 years ago today.

It's mad to think there was a time where I thought that doing what other people expected me to was how someone like me was supposed to live my life.

To think that a big part of me wanted to try and blend in and the more I tried to fit in the more unhappy I felt.

I didn't know where I belonged.

Or even if I would be accepted.

I was depressed, anxious and lost.

Doing what I thought I should in return for love and acceptance - losing myself more and more in the process. 

This is why the work I do is so important - like when you know deep inside you're supposed to be doing something different to the people around you, that there's someone more awesome inside trying to get out... you just didn't know how to be that person or even how to access that part of you.

That un-lived life inside of you, the battle inside you - taking you one way when you know deep in your bones that this isn't you. The longer you ignore and deny it, the more it hurts you.

Reclaim what's YOURS - your LIFE!

Your happiness, your confidence, your self-expression!

Stop letting others dictate your life for you.

It's time to show up 100% - life unedited.

Know yourself, be yourself and fucking own it.
