How it works
Every brand is unique
And so is your shoot. Together we’ll build a photo shoot that is tailored to you, whether you need photos or video, a mix of portraits and brand stories, or a full day of lifestyle product photography.
My aim is for you to feel inspired, supported and at ease during the entire process, and delighted with the end result.
“Meg was so easy to work and collaborate with. I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. It was easy to book and set up a consultation call to plan the best locations to capture the beauty of my items and atmosphere I wanted to create in the photos. Meg created an excellent list of location options to choose from and a detailed photoshoot prep list that was very helpful. I appreciated her attention to detail and creative thinking to come up with some fantastic photos and styling on the day of the shoot. She created a fun and relaxing environment which put me at ease being in front of the camera. The final result was better than I could have imagined and elevated my handknit designs and products. Thanks Meg!”

How does your shoot process work?
-
I’ll ask you about your brand, your goals, and how I can help, and you can ask me any questions you have for me, to determine whether we’d be a good fit working together.
-
If you’d like to book a session, I use a simple online contract and payment system to take a deposit, to hold space for our shoot and edit time in my diary. Your time is valuable, so my processes are as streamlined and user-friendly as possible.
-
Planning is what makes or breaks a shoot and I will offer tailored support to make sure you’re comfortable and prepared on the day. Whether you’ve got a shot list and locations already set or would like advice and suggestions from me, we’ll have one or more in-depth consultation calls to ensure all the details are nailed down before the shoot. I also have comprehensive planning guides with advice on locations, styling and props, and can create bespoke outfit guides for you or your team if needed.
-
I have lots of tips and ideas for finding locations if your space isn’t suitable, and can also offer location scouting as an additional service if you need more in-depth support- just ask me for a quote.
-
I'll create a bespoke shoot brief for you which captures all the creative and practical elements of our shoot, to support you as you prepare for our shoot day. It will include a moodboard, notes on props and styling, a pre-shoot checklist, and shot list for the day.
-
This is where the planning pays off! I love hearing from clients that they had a blast on shoot day (as well as loving the final images), and my aim is always to make our time together as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, which is why we cover so much in the planning process!
-
I’ll choose all the best images (and video clips, if relevant) from the day and edit to fit your brand and style. Booking fees are inclusive so you receive a full selection of digital files from our shoot without needing to pay extra.
-
You’ll receive a beautiful private online gallery of images, with the ability to download both high-res and low-res versions. If you’ve asked for video as well, I will send you those files via vimeo and wetransfer.
“From our initial conversation I immediately trusted that you had understood my brief. On the day itself your delightful enthusiasm and energy helped put me at ease. The shoot has been immensely useful to help me crystallise just what I would love to convey to others. You have managed to capture the essence of my work and my overall approach. I can’t wait till next time!”
