Based in Cheshire and working across Manchester and the UK, I help brands move from the 'daily content scramble' to a place of total authority.


As a specialist in brand and documentary photography, I know that being in front of the camera can feel daunting. My approach is rooted in warmth and empathy, ensuring you feel entirely at ease. This is where we capture the genuine, unposed moments that make your brand unique and relatable.


By blending professional photography with modern content strategy, I provide a comprehensive library of assets, story-led imagery and reel-ready video that works hard for your business long after our session is over.

"Really great experience working with Emilie for brand photography. As a new business she did so much more than taking pictures. We put together a really well thought out profile of the kinds of people I wanted to reach and discussed how the pictures would reflect this. She had lots of ideas for things I would never have thought of and I was so pleased with the final portfolio. Highly recommend."

I’ve teamed up with Flamingo Falls, a private tropical garden tucked away in the heart of Cheshire, to create a brand shoot experience like no other.


Think cascading waterfalls, exotic birds and a flamboyance of flamingos... right here in the North West.


These relaxed, story-driven shoots are designed for creative business owners who want more than just pretty photos. This is brand photography with soul, wrapped in paradise.
