I have been following Shan on Facebook for a couple of years because I really like her work. I also knew a few people who had worked with her and she came highly recommended so when I was advised by my PR agency to have some branding images taken for my website I knew immediately that I wanted Shan to take the photos.

Her style appealed to me as it’s simple, natural and elegant, extremely professional and of the highest quality.  This was exactly what I was looking for.  Shan’s attention to detail, her perfectionism and desire to create a beautiful aesthetic means that when it comes to this type of photography you’re in the best hands.

I’ve been a fan of Shan’s work for a while and so my favourite part of the shoot was meeting her.  A photoshoot can be nerve-wracking and stressful but Shan made me feel comfortable and confident so I very quickly got over my initial nerves and I had fun.

I didn’t intend to have any photos taken of me with my bags but Shan encouraged me to and I’m so pleased that she did.  I have used models in previous photoshoots for my website and so I am used to seeing other people with my bags.  I adore my bags and am extremely proud of my designs so when I see myself with them it makes me very happy.

Apparently 82% of consumers trust a company more when the founder uses social media and 77 % are more likely to buy from a company if the founder uses social media. I believe that people want to connect with other people and are able to relate to others when they see the face behind a company. I’ve realised how important it is that people know who I am and Shan’s brand photography creates a fabulous first impression.
