WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
This is your chance to work with me for a bargain price and give your business visibility a boost whilst also helping a great cause! It’s a win-win!
Quite simply, you make a donation to Rainbow Trust (£50 minimum) via my Just Giving page and I will take a professional headshot for your business. You'll be featured in my gallery below along with a link to your website for an SEO boost too!
Obviously these mini headshot charity sessions are no match for my full brand shoots but they'll definitely give you a starting board to begin levelling up your brand visibility. Want to have more control with a carefully planned brand shoot to really make an impact on your personal branding? You can book a call to find out more here.
To take part in the charity fundraiser, just sign up and I'll be in touch! Thank you for your support!
WHAT DO CLIENTS SAY?
Here's what Ahmet had to say about his experience as part of this project:
"I hate posing and smiling for photos but Bex made it so easy and relaxed. It was a great experience and my new photos are fantastic, perfect for my business profile image.
Bex is very talented and definitely worth going for it, excellent brand photography, I highly recommend booking Bex for your business."
Three words to describe your photos?
Smart, professional, natural."

WHY AM I DOING THIS?
As a small business owner, I love to find ways to help in my local community.
Not only does this project raise funds for an amazing cause, but I also get to give local businesses a boost! A little bit of help after the last couple of years of stress we've all been under due to the pandemic/cost of living crisis.
Hello Yellow!
In 2019 I raised over £500 for Young Minds, taking commercial portraits for World Mental Health Day featuring the colour yellow.
Having suffered with post-natal depression in 2018, I wanted to support a mental health charity and I loved their Hello Yellow campaign: "#HelloYellow is all about showing young people that how they feel matters, and that there are people around them who care." Plus of course their bright colour fits with my vibrant style.
Why Rainbow Trust?
When chatting with an existing client about my plan, she mentioned that people might not be as keen to donate if the yellow theme doesn't go with their own brand (having worked with me incorporating her brand colours so carefully on her brand shoot!)
A great point which got me thinking and I remembered Rainbow Trust, the charity we supported with the colour edition of This Detailed Life, the photography magazine I founded in lockdown. I noticed Rainbow Trust's #shareyourrainbow hashtag and it clicked (see what I did there?!) It couldn't be more perfect for my own brand too!
Plus, as a mother, I am proud to support a charity which "provides emotional and practical support to families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness."
I will be filling up this gallery throughout the year and hope to raise even more than 2019's project.
(Edit: I've already blasted through this year's £500 target!)

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Here's what Ashley had to say about his experience:
"I didn't know much about brand photography at all but having seen loads of Bex's work, I was very confident in her achieving a good result to replace my old, poor quality photos.
Despite not being particularly comfortable in front of a camera, this was dealt with, with sensitivity and fun. I REALLY dislike having my photo taken but Bex was able to work through this, make it enjoyable and I am really happy with my photos. I have had some amazing comments about them already.
Bex is very good at what she does. She doesn't take generic photos but creates something unique to set your business apart from others, a more personal insight into what you do and who you are.
It's really opened my eyes to the value of high quality brand photography."

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
I'm so pleased with my photos, Bex makes having your photo taken so easy. She is fun, friendly and professional, I highly recommend her! Thank you for my lovely photos Bex." Arabella Roberts
Three words to describe my photos...
Natural, Colourful, Happy
"I really loved working with Bex to create new headshots. I booked her because I only had poor quality, disappointing head shots for my profile, until now!
I was nervous but looking forward to having a photo of myself that I liked and would be happy to share with the world. Being photographed at home put me at ease and Bex was fun, kind and very encouraging, I loved working with her. I felt much less self conscious than I thought I would.
