Cardiff Business Photo Shoot
Well hello! It's been a while since I've blogged, due to the old global pandemic and everything, but I'm back with a bang! My first shoot back in 2021 was a Cardiff business photo shoot with the fabulous brand Eliza Eliza!
Based in Cardiff Eliza Eliza makes 'sustainable conscious bags with meaning.' She partners with charities and raises awareness of important issues. I was so excited when she contacted me for a business photo shoot as I've followed her Instagram account for ages and love her brand.
The brand shoot consisted of two sessions. The first session took place at Eliza Eliza HQ in Cardiff (also known has her kitchen). We had a fun morning creating images for her to use on her website and social media. The next session was on location in the lovely Vale of Glamorgan market town of Cowbridge. When Elizabeth and her friend Alex arrived I felt like the cat that got the cream. They looked amazing! They strutted up and down Cowbridge High Street modelling the beautiful Eliza Eliza range of bags. We had tote bags, clutch bags, purses - all with the distinctive Eliza Eliza linings. There was also scrunchies, sleep masks and yoga bags too!
Have a scroll through this lovely lot to see what we got up to.
If you're a small creative business in South Wales, I'd love to work with you to create a set of images that you can use for your business.
Half day packages start at £599 and include loads of images that you can splash around your social media accounts and website for months if not years!

Mermaid Adventures Photo Shoot
Mermaid Adventures Photo Shoot
I'd never met a Mermaid before, so when Mermaid Sandy got in touch to ask if I'd be interested in a commercial shoot for her business Mermaid Adventures I was very excited! We love all things Mer in our house and I could quite happily spend every second of the day on the beach or in the water so it was a perfect fit. Mermaid Adventures is a local business that offers Mermaid experiences to all. You can book in for a Mermaid swimming lesson or have a Mermaid birthday party!
We had a group of fabulous kids who volunteered to help out on the shoot. They soon learnt, being a model isn't as glamourous as you'd think! They spent a long time at the shoot, with plenty of waiting around, but they all got to have a mermaid swimming lesson and photoshoot, so it wasn't too bad.
Above water, there was plenty of splashing and wearing some awesome hair accessories. Below the surface there was diving for shells, swimming through hoops and of course lots of posing.
As this was a commercial photo shoot for Mermaid Adventures, it was really important for me to focus on getting images that they could use on their new website and social media platforms over the next year or so. I focused on getting some action shots and showing how much fun the kids were having. They do so much in one lesson, I don't know how they fit it all in! Wall to wall fun with a touch of magic.

There were over 200 images from this shoot, so I can't feature them all, but here's a few of my favourites. Starting with the lovely Mermaid Sandy...
Commercial and headshot photography

I've worked with lots of local businesses over the last few years including; product and headshot photography for local gifting business Money Kissed which was featured in Cardiff Life Magazine this month, staff headshots and contextual images for Newbridge Software, a photo shoot on the set of Channel 4's Ugly House with George Clarke for local building contractors NKG construction, a new season of jewellery for Sharon McKinley Designs, headshots for Helen from Heronsbridge Consulting, Sian from Step up Social Claire from Claire Marks Dance and Nikki from Seriously Stylish Business and also had the pleasure to photograph Lauren England when she entered Miss Wales. As well as photo shoots for businesses, I've also photographed staff and contextual images for St David's School in Colwinston and Cwrt Rawlin School in Caerphilly.
I've already got some exciting new projects lined up for 2018 and I'd love to meet you too and have a chat about what you need for your business.

Commercial photo shoot
When Sharon from Sharon Mckinley Designs asked me to photograph her upcoming collections in a commercial photo shoot I was very excited!
Her edgy handmade jewellery is gorgeous and I knew we'd be doing something a little bit different. We had loads of fun planning the session and even more on the day with all the different jewellery sets and clothes we had to play with.
Here's just a few of the images taken during the session. If you like what you see, head on over to her website and get yourself a treat!
