Olivia Taylor
Headshot Photographers
Working with Claire to take some headshot photographs was an absolutely fantastic experience.
The process itself was very smooth, Claire was an absolute professional, responsive and flexible when there was an issue with the venue we had in mind.
She puts you at ease during the photography itself and went above and beyond helping me to work out which of the final photos would work best in which context - mocking up some professional headers with different photos.
More than that though she made it a really fun and inspiring creative process - she understood what the headshots were for and helped to create that vision. Working with Claire wasn't just about taking some amazing photos but about working out and then telling a visual story for your personal brand, small business etc. and she really supports you to do that. I couldn't recommend her more highly to any freelancers, small businesses, creatives etc. Thanks so much Claire!

Artistic, authentic, and inspiring are words I would use to describe Claire. We only met recently, and I'm so glad to have been recommended to hire Claire for some new business shots. Her creative style and professional management of the process took me on a journey of exploration, and encouraged me to discover the true essence of what I was trying to achieve. It was much more than a photo-shoot, and is an experience that has significantly impacted my journey and beyond. More...

Claire worked with me to help me create imagery for my website, that would express who I am as coach. The work I do goes deep and wide, and moves from our light sides to our shadow sides, so the imagery needed to convey this.
Claire is not usual photographer, she really takes to see beyond who you know yourself to be. She captured something for me that was magic.
She has a beautiful way of working that puts you at ease, has you feel confident and brings out the best in you. She manages to capture your essence, at least that was my experience. She does with care, fun and deep consideration. I have had so many compliments on my portraits.
I cannot recommend Claire enough for your personal brand, helping you connect with your people when you cannot be present.
