The Cotswold Assistant Brand Photo Shoot

Brand Photographer Nikki Kirk in Gloucestershire

“I wanted a professional, end-to-end service and Nikki delivered. 

She patiently helped me to construct the photos and settings that I wanted, whilst all the time providing creative ideas with a confident and friendly tone, the planning process was impeccable.

Nikki went to such great lengths to support my brand exercise, easing all of my fears and foibles of sitting in front of the camera, it was such a blast working with her!”

Why did you choose Carlé & Moss / Nikki to take your business photographs?

“Initially because a good friend recommended Nikki highly having met her through work herself.  Once I’d made contact it was clear that Nikki would provide the best pre-shoot planning, structure and creativity that I needed to make my photoshoot happen.”

What was your favourite part of your brand photography session?

Watching Nikki construct the flat lays from the myriad of props that we’d collected! 

She was such a pro at giving me tips to adjust my posture, expression etc to ensure the photos were the best they could be!”

What advice would you give anyone planning their own business photography session?

 “I splashed out on hiring a makeup artist which made the shoot feel that bit more professional and purposeful and made me feel fabulous!”

Claire hired Jodi Croft for her hair and make up. Jodi can be found at https://www.facebook.com/MakeUpByJodiCroft/

One of Claire’s unique offerings is the implementation of easy to use systems that empower you to be less reactive. This means you’ll have more time and be able to wholly focus on the more important things in life such as your family or business.

What was the business need that pushed you to seek out professional business photography?

“Portrait photos and flat lays were required for a new business website build and also to start me on my social media journey.”

What were the key images required for this shoot/session and what was the business need that drove this decision?

I’ve been in business for two years and haven’t launched my website, largely because I don’t have the perfect photos that the perfectionist in me would be happy to use…hence Nikki! 

She expertly pulled together the ideas that I had and made them a reality!”

Did everything go to plan? Did the schedules, shoot boards and/or planning sessions help?

We had a lot to get through on the day but the mood boards and lists Nikki had created meant we had everything thought out in advance and just need to pull it all together on the day, so yes they were a massive help and an essential requirement I’d say!”
