I had the absolute pleasure of photographing the incredibly talented Marie from Marie Brown Fine Art right in her beautiful Nottinghamshire home. As a Brand Photographer, these are the shoots I truly love—getting behind the scenes of a small business, capturing the heart and soul of the brand.
Marie is not only a gifted artist, but also one of the warmest people you could hope to meet. Her conservatory, where she creates her stunning nature-inspired art, was the perfect location—filled with natural light, vibrant colours, and a calm, creative energy that made every drawing feel alive.
And of course, I was thrilled to meet her gorgeous cat, Fudge, who made a few charming cameos during the session!
Why Professional Photography Matters for Small Businesses...
When you're running a small business, especially in the creative world, your personal brand and online presence are everything. People buy from people, and showing the face behind the work helps build trust and connection with your audience. Professional photography tells your story visually—it captures your process, your personality, and the environment that makes your business unique.
Marie came prepared with an inspiration pinterest board, knowing exactly what she wanted to communicate with her imagery. We worked through each idea, making sure everything she envisioned came to life, from headshots to detailed lifestyle shots in her workspace.
Here's what Marie had to say about the experience:
“I’m someone that doesn’t like being in front of the camera, so the prospect of a photoshoot was a little daunting, however Imogen made me feel at ease from the second I met her. I had put together an ideas board for my Art business, and Imogen was thorough in making sure we had covered everything I wanted to achieve. I really enjoyed the whole experience, it was relaxed and fun. Most importantly, the photos are fantastic and professional, I could not be happier! Thank you Imogen.”
More Than Just Photos...
What I aim to create is more than just a pretty headshot. It’s a toolkit of imagery that small business owners like Marie can use across their website, social media, and marketing materials to attract their dream clients. A professional photoshoot gives you consistent, high-quality visuals that elevate your brand and make you stand out.
