BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN NOTTINGHAM, THE EAST MIDLANDS AND UK
Let’s get you noticed with professional branding photography.
I really love helping people who run small, independent businesses. Working for myself, I know how tough it can be to build up your brand and get noticed. More than just a product, a service, or a shop, your business is all about you. When your customers look at your website, blog and socials and see professional images that show you and what you do in a beautiful way – it really makes a difference – you come across as the professional person you are.
Your business deserves more than a few selfies!
Sorry but I’m not going to mince my words here – stock photography images that could be on any website are boring they don’t reflect the “you” of your business. Our mobile phones are great and I’m not adverse to the odd selfie but they don’t compare with professional images.
My shoots aren’t about awkward posing – it’s about showcasing what you do. They’re not stuffy, cold, or unnatural. They’re fun and they’re about creating beautiful, authentic images that show off the personality of your business. That way, you’ll stand out, and you’ll make real connections with your customers.
I don’t like having my photograph taken!
Okay I get you – I feel exactly the same! But if your having fun and not posing awkwardly – I promise you – you will actually enjoy it! Look at your socials and see the likes you get on certain pics (the ones of you!) – your customers want to see you, busy doing what you love, they love to see that your passion, creativity and hard work. My brand photography plan is always for the shoot do be done in a fun, fuss-free way — whether you’re covered in flour, soil, or sequins. You might be feeling shy, but I promise we’ll have a good time!
You can book a shoot with me for as little as £99 — so drop me a line and I can let you know my packages, and together we’ll create the kind of beautiful, fun and creative images your brand and business deserve. I can’t wait to work with you! melissamaloophotography@gmail.com
SOME OF THE LOVELY BUSINESS OWNERS I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED:
Derbyshire Branding Photography for Jess at Alexandra Anne Bridal in Hathersage, Peak District
https://www.alexandra-anne.co.uk/
I’ve visited Jess several times now in the beautiful village of Hathersage to see her at work in her gorgeous bridalwear boutique. It’s everything a bride could want; elegant but fun, stylish but friendly, and luxurious but down to earth. The location, the dresses, the expert advice – I honestly wish I could be a bride again just to buy a dress from here. As one of Jess’ happy customers said: “I wish I could go there every week!”
“Melissa is amazing at setting a photography phobic like me at ease, she makes sure she covers all bases and is a delight to work with. I was able to use the images much sooner than expected and got a brilliant response”
Derbyshire Branding Photography for Marian at Mickleover Reflexology
http://mickleover-reflexology.co.uk/
I love watching the work of people who are making a difference. Based in a cute little practice in the Derbyshire countryside, Marian works with her clients’ feet to encourage their lymphatic system — a new and gentler alternative for people recovering from cancer surgeries. Her treatments are also improving the quality of life for sufferers of ME, migraines, and arthritis. Marian’s proud of her work, and I was really proud to photograph her.
Derbyshire Branding Photography for Jenny at JS Events in the Peak District
https://jenniferstaniforthevents.co.uk/
Jenni is the most organised person I’ve ever met — which is everything you’d want from a wedding and events planner! Kind, calm, and super-experienced, she’s one of the best in the business, bringing people’s dream weddings to life all through the year. If you need the help of an expert to bring your vision to life, she would be a wise choice. We had a lovely day shooting at her beautiful home-base in the Peak District.
Nottingham Branding Photography for Leanne at Leanne Narweski Gardens in Nottingham

I can’t even keep a pot plant alive, so watching Leanne do her thing was a real eye-opener. She’s an ace horticulturalist and landscaper, transforming neglected gardens into beautiful outdoor spaces, whilst keeping a nature-friendly eye on wildlife and biodiversity. She’s helping out people, birds and bees, and I’m here for it. I’m happiest when I’m out in the fresh air, so this was a really fun shoot!
Nottingham Branding Photography for Flavia at the Canny Life Financial Services in Nottingham
https://jenniferstaniforthevents.co.uk/
Flavia’s on a one-woman mission to take the stress and worry out of financial planning. She breaks through all the faff and jargon, helping her clients to make good decisions — in particular, busy professional women, young families, and expats. In a complicated financial world, she’s a great pal to have… and she photographed like a dream, too!
Nottingham Branding Photography for Karen at Marchpane Studios in Nottingham
https://www.marchpanestudio.co.uk/
We all like trying new stuff — and especially creative things — but sometimes we’re a bit shy. Or busy. Or tired. Karen’s been delivering art and craft workshops from her cosy home studio for over 20 years, giving grown-ups the chance to dip their toes in fun new activities, blow off the cobwebs, and make new pals along the way. I love what she’s doing, and I loved this shoot.
