Hi, I’m Helen
I’m a personal branding photographer based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, working with business owners across the Midlands and beyond.
I work with people who value quality, care about how their work is represented, and want their brand to feel clear, consistent and honest.
Choosing a photographer isn’t a small decision.
Brand photography works best when there’s trust and when your photographer helps you to feel understood and more confident in front of the camera.
How I got here
I’ve always been a creative at heart.
As a child, I spent hours drawing, making things, and experimenting, not necessarily the best at any one thing, but completely absorbed by the process. That curiosity stayed with me into adulthood and led me into a career in fashion design, where I worked for almost two decades with both luxury and high-street brands.
That background still shapes how I work today.
I have a strong understanding of colour, composition, balance and visual storytelling, and how images communicate feeling as much as information.
In 2015, I picked up a camera and everything clicked (excuse the pun).
Photography wasn’t just something I enjoyed , it felt like the place where all my skills, instincts and experience finally came together.
The work I do now
Over the years, my work has naturally evolved.
Personal branding photography is now a core part of what I do. I work with business owners who want images that feel natural, considered and genuinely aligned, not loud, forced or trend-driven. I help people show up online with clarity and confidence, in a way that feels sustainable and true to them.
Alongside that, I’ve spent nearly a decade photographing families, newborns and intimate weddings. That experience matters. It’s taught me how to read people quickly, create calm in emotional moments, and help even the most camera-shy clients feel at ease.
Whether I’m photographing a business owner, a new parent, or a couple getting married quietly with the people they love most, the approach is the same, thoughtful, gentle, and grounded in real connection.
“It felt less like a photoshoot and more like spending time with a friend.”
What people often notice
Clients often tell me they feel:
- calmer than they expected
- reassured and well guided
- surprised by how much they enjoyed the experience
I bring a quiet, organised presence to every shoot, with clear preparation beforehand and plenty of space on the day for things to unfold naturally. I’ll gently guide where it helps, step back when it doesn’t, and always prioritise how you feel as much as how the images look.
“She put me completely at ease and captured me exactly as I wanted to be seen.”
What matters to me
I believe:
- You can stand out without shouting
- You don’t need to reinvent yourself to be visible
- Confidence grows when you feel seen, not performed
- Quality and clarity matter more than trends
My business has grown and changed as my life has too. I’m proud of the work I’ve built, the relationships I’ve formed, and the fact that many clients return again and again, sometimes for years.
That continuity means everything to me.
If you’re wondering if I’m the right fit
If you value:
a calm, considered approach
natural, honest imagery
feeling supported rather than pushed
quality that lasts beyond trends
…then we’ll likely work very well together.
