I’m Rosie Parsons, the UK personal brand photographer helping colour-loving female entrepreneurs and small business owners get professional brand photos that they love. And more importantly – encourage you to feel fabulous in the process!
Whether you need a day of pampering and professional headshots in my cosy Exeter home studio, or are hankering after some authentic lifestyle shoots on location for your upcoming cover of Entrepreneur Magazine (manifest it baby!), I’ll help you feel confident in front of the camera.
After 18 years as a professional photographer (and sneaking shots at Destiny’s Child concerts before that), I’ve learned one crucial thing: the best photos happen when you’re having too much fun to worry about the camera.
My secret sauce? A dash of celeb treatment, a sprinkle of terrible dad jokes, and genuine conversation that makes you forget you’re even being photographed. Before you know it, you’ll be throwing me your best blue steel like you’re on the red carpet!

Why Personal Branding Photography Matters
Your brand photos aren’t just pretty pictures – they’re your first impression, your trust builder, and often the reason someone decides to work with you over your competitor.
Think about it: when was the last time you hired someone whose photo made them look like they didn’t want to be there? Exactly.
Personal branding photography tells your brand story, shows your unique personality, and gives your ideal clients a reason to trust you before you’ve even spoken. Whether you need professional headshots for LinkedIn, authentic lifestyle shots for your website, or a full bank of images for your social media platforms, the right photos can transform your online presence.
Not sure where to start? I’ve written a complete guide to personal branding photography that walks you through everything you need to know.

Lifestyle Personal Branding Shoot
Authentic “day in the life” photography that shows the real you, not just the polished you.
Sometimes the best brand photos aren’t in a studio at all. Lifestyle shoots capture you in your natural environment – your workspace, your favourite coffee shop, your creative process in action. These environmental portraits tell your brand story in a way studio shots simply can’t.
Perfect for creative business owners who want authentic, behind-the-scenes content for their social media platforms and website.

Your session fee includes 2 high-resolution retouched images of your choice, plus:

I can’t recommend Rosie highly enough. She’s absolutely professional, really easy to work with and her shots are another level up.
I’m so pleased I organised a shoot with Rosie, and the value her shots have brought to my business is enormous.

What Makes Me Different as Your Personal Brand Photographer
18+ Years as a Professional Photographer
I’ve been a professional photographer since 2007, specialising in personal branding photography for female entrepreneurs and creative business owners. My work has been featured in Forbes, The Times, and The Guardian – but more importantly, so have my clients’ photos.
I Get the Camera-Shy Thing
I’m not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, which is exactly why I’m good at helping you through it. My relaxed shoots feel more like hanging out with a friend than a formal photo shoot. Result? Beautiful images of your authentic self, not a stiff version of you.
You Get My Full Attention
I only take 2 clients per month for personal brand photoshoots. You’re not just another booking – you get the creative energy and enough time to make your session exceptional.
Photos That Look Like You
No over-filtered airbrushing. I capture your unique personality and brand story so your dream clients recognise you when they meet you. Whether it’s professional headshots in my home photography studio or lifestyle environmental portraits, every image is authentically you.

My ideal clients are female entrepreneurs, creative business owners, and small business owners who:
✨ Are ready to invest in professional photography for their online presence

If you’re an amazing woman building a business and ready to make a lasting impression with professional photos, we’re probably a good fit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rosie’s Personal Brand Photoshoots
The next step is booking a discovery call where we’ll chat about your needs, goals, and which type of shoot makes the most sense for you. It’s totally informal – think of it as a chat with a friend who happens to be really good with a camera. You can book your discovery call here or email me directly at [email protected].
Join the club! Most of my clients feel exactly the same way before their personal branding session. But the good news is that I’m an expert at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera because I genuinely understand the anxiety. We’ll chat, laugh and before you know it, you’ll forget the camera’s even there. My relaxed shoots are specifically designed to get you out of your comfort zone without it feeling terrifying. This is an enjoyable experience, not a torture session. Promise.
Traditional headshots are typically just your face and shoulders against a plain background – think corporate LinkedIn photo. Personal brand photography is so much more than that. It’s about capturing your unique personality, telling your brand story, and showing potential clients who you really are. We might do some classic professional headshots, but we’ll also capture expressive poses, action shots, lifestyle moments, and images that reflect your brand identity. You’ll walk away with a variety of visual content you can use across all your social media platforms, not just one pro headshot.
Your personal branding photoshoot will be relaxed and enjoyable, not stiff or formal! We’ll start with a chat about your goals and shot list. I’ll guide you through every pose and give you expert direction throughout. VIP Days include hair & makeup, lunch, and a full day experience (10am-3pm). Studio and lifestyle sessions are 2-3 hours of focused shooting. You’ll see your images the same day and select your favourites. Final retouched photos are delivered within 7 days, ready to use across all your platforms.
Absolutely! Small business owners, female entrepreneurs and creative business owners make up the majority of my clients. I understand the unique challenges of running your own business and the importance of putting your best face forward online. Whether you’re a solopreneur building your first website or an established business owner refreshing your brand, I’ve got you. I work with local businesses in Exeter and Devon, as well as clients from across the UK.
Yes! My VIP Headshot Day (£1,250+VAT) includes professional hair and makeup by Giselle, so you can arrive looking however you want and we’ll work our
magic. You’ll feel pampered and look incredible. Standard studio and lifestyle sessions (£690+VAT) don’t include hair and makeup, but I can recommend local artists if needed.
The VIP Headshot Day is a full-day experience from 10am-3pm – we take enough time to really get it right and have fun doing it. The studio and lifestyle shoots are typically 2-3 hours, giving us plenty of time to get beautiful images without feeling rushed. I believe the best photos come from taking our time and enjoying the experience during your personal branding session.
Great question! During your discovery call, we’ll create shot lists together based on what you need. Generally, bring:
* 3-4 outfit options that reflect your brand (we’ll discuss this beforehand)
* Any props related to your business (laptop, products, tools of your trade)
* Ideas of poses or shots you’ve seen and loved
* Your authentic self and a willingness to have much fun!
For VIP Days, I provide full wardrobe guidance and help you select outfits that will make you pop on camera during your personal brand photoshoot.
Yes! You will get a Google Drive link to the high-resolution images you purchase and have full commercial rights to use them however you need – website, social media platforms, Instagram photos, marketing materials, business cards, LinkedIn, speaking engagements, you name it. These are YOUR brand photos to use as you need to build your online presence. That’s the whole point of professional photography – giving you the visual assets you need to grow your business.
Absolutely! Most of my clients use their personal branding photoshoot images specifically for Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook and other social media platforms.
My VIP Day studio shoots are especially good for this. During your discovery call, we’ll discuss what type of visual content you need – whether that’s professional headshots for LinkedIn, behind-the-scenes lifestyle shots for Instagram Stories, or expressive brand photos for your feed. I’ll make sure you leave with a variety of images that work across all your channels.
Yes! While my studio is based in my home in Central Exeter, Devon, I also work with clients across the UK and in surrounding areas. For VIP Headshot Days, I include local station, Exeter airport, or hotel transfers to make your journey easy. For lifestyle shoots in other parts of the UK, we can absolutely chat about travel. During your discovery call, we’ll work out the logistics.
Oh my goodness, yes! Expert posing guidance is literally included in every single shoot because I know nobody wakes up naturally knowing what to do in front of a camera. I’ll guide you through everything – where to look, how to stand, what to do with those pesky hands (no awkward arms on my watch!). We’ll keep it natural and make sure you look confident rather than stiff. This is an enjoyable experience, not a torture session.
The best way is to book a discovery call and we’ll figure it out together! Generally, we’re a good fit if you:
* Value professional photography and understand beautiful images are an investment
* Are a female entrepreneur or creative business owner
* Want photos that look authentically like you (not overly airbrushed or fake)
* Appreciate a warm, friendly, down-to-earth approach from your professional photographer
* Are ready to step slightly outside your comfort zone
* Want to work with someone who genuinely cares about capturing your authentic self
If you’ve read this far and you’re nodding along thinking “yes, that’s me,” we’re probably perfect for each other!
Honestly? Yes. Almost everyone adds a package at their ordering appointment because when you see yourself looking that good, it’s pretty hard to choose just 2 or 4 images! That said, there’s no pressure whatsoever. The session fee includes gorgeous images, and anything beyond that is entirely your choice based on what you need and want. I also offer affordable payment plans and accept all major credit cards.
You’ll select your favourite images during your same-day ordering appointment (yes, you see them right away – no waiting weeks wondering!). Your final retouched high quality images will be delivered within 7 days as digital files. No waiting around, no endless back-and-forth. Simple, quick, professional. You’ll have your beautiful images ready to use across all your marketing materials within a week.
