Elevate Your Brand with Professional Photography! Your business deserves to shine as brightly as you do! Let me be your branding photographer Sarah
(2)

I’ll help you create stunning images that reflect your unique brand and connect with your audience. I am Sarah Johnson of Sarah Johnson Photography and I am here to be your personal branding photography specialist. Working with other women in business I work with you to capture a bespoke catalogue of personal branded images unique to you. Never again will you be searching for stock images to promote you and your business. From the beginning call, we will work together to plan and organise your session, we will work through my brand workbook so that by the time you are in front of my camera you will already feel at ease and know what to expect. I also work with families and pets to be your memory maker too and often carry out family and pet photoshoots around the North East and Yorkshire. I also work internationally and across the UK for my clients and costings for this are available on request.

If you’re thinking about booking a personal branding photographer whether that’s with me or somebody else, here’s something I’d really encourage you to ask:

**What actually happens before the photoshoot?**

Because not every branding shoot is planned in the same way.

Some photographers will turn up on the day, photograph you for the time you’ve booked and deliver your gallery afterwards.

And that may be absolutely fine for what you need.

But if you’re investing in personal branding photography because you need images for your website, social media, launches, newsletters, PR and marketing, I think the preparation is just as important as the photography itself.

When you book a branding shoot with me, we start planning well before I pick up my camera.

First, we meet online so I can understand you, your business, what you offer and what you actually need your photographs to do.

You then work through my branding workbook.

We create a shared Pinterest board where we collect ideas, inspiration, colours, poses, locations and the overall feel you’re drawn to.

Then we meet on Zoom again before the shoot to pull everything together.

We work out:

• the images we definitely need
• outfits and locations
• what you want to promote
• useful props connected to your business
• wide, vertical and horizontal shots
• detail and behind-the-scenes images

So when you arrive on the day, you’re not wondering what to do and I’m not making it up as we go along.

We already have a plan.

There’s still plenty of room for spontaneous moments, but underneath it all there’s a strategy.

Because I don’t want to simply give you some lovely photographs.

I want to create a useful bank of images that genuinely helps you market your business.

So if you’re comparing branding photographers, don’t just look at the finished photographs.

Ask what happens before the camera comes out too.

It can make all the difference.

Thinking about updating your branding images?
Send me a message and we can talk through what you actually need.

Small business spotlight: **Ruth Andrews of **

I absolutely love getting to shine a light on the brilliant women and businesses I come across through my work, and today I want to introduce you to Ruth.

Ruth is the creative talent behind **Aspirational Flora**, creating beautiful floristry filled with colour, texture, personality and those gorgeous little details that make flowers feel really special.

What I love about Ruth’s work is that it doesn’t feel generic or “off the shelf”. There’s such a lovely creative eye behind the combinations, shapes and finishing touches — each arrangement feels considered, individual and full of personality.

And, as somebody who is always drawn to the visual details of a business, photographing work like this is an absolute treat.

If you love beautiful flowers, are looking for floristry inspiration or simply want to support another brilliant independent business, pop over and have a look at **** and give Ruth a follow.

There is so much talent behind our local small businesses and I think we should shout about it much more often.

Do you have a job on your list that keeps getting pushed to “later”?

Bring it with you to co-working this Thursday at Luna Blu on Yarm High Street.

It’s a relaxed, friendly day where you can step away from the distractions at home, work alongside other business owners and finally make progress on the things that matter.

There’s no pressure to network or stay for the full day. Come along for an hour or two, or settle in with us from 10.15am until 4pm.

Everyone is welcome, and your £15 ticket includes your first drink.

Tickets are available now through the Events page on my website. Come and claim some proper time for your business. x

Who else loves a hug?

I put a lot of thought into these days, right down to the flowers on the table. I want you to arrive, feel looked after and give yourself permission to spend some proper time on your business.

Looking through these photographs, I love seeing the conversations, the concentration, the laughter and the hugs. So much happens around that table.

My job is to hold that space for you, listen properly and help you work through the things you’ve been trying to figure out on your own.

That includes the practical stuff. What are you selling? Who are you trying to reach? How can you explain what you do so people understand why they need it?

I bring my sales and marketing experience, coaching and photography together to help you answer those questions. There’s time to plan your content, try out photography ideas, pick up tips for using your phone and get comfortable recording yourself, with me there to help.

You can bring the unfinished idea, ask the question you’ve been sitting on and actually get some work done.

I want you to leave knowing what you’re going to do next, with something already started and people you’re glad you met.

The early bird price for my next Say Yes To Being Seen® Business Reset Retreat remains £199, with only 6 of the 20 spaces remaining. Price rises at the weekend to £299.

Fancy joining me? Send me a message for the booking link. I’d love to welcome you.

If you can’t make February, next Octobers is live on the website already!

Thanks to my lovely pal and fellow photographer Alice for capturing the day!

There's quite a lot happening between now and the end of 2027!

I've been busy getting dates organised, updating the website and putting everything in place so you can get things booked into your diary.

I've got some lovely dates coming up at Luna Blu in Yarm and Field & Fodder in Bearpark. Good company, somewhere different to work, a decent coffee and the opportunity to get things done without all the distractions at home.

And yes, there will be birthday cake at Luna Blu in October and Christmas jumpers at Field & Fodder in December!

**The Business Reset Retreats are booking up too.**

Our next one is Thursday 11 February 2027 at Redworth Hall, and I've also opened bookings for Thursday 14 October 2027.

The October 2027 retreat is open to everyone, regardless of gender or where you are in your business journey. You can secure your place with a £49 deposit or pay the full £199 when booking.

**A little reminder for my previous retreat guests:** your exclusive early bird codes are coming to an end, so if you've been meaning to use yours, don't forget!

And away from the events, I'm making the most of these gorgeous autumn colours with my photography.

I absolutely LOVE this time of year for personal branding shoots. The light, the colours and the beautiful outdoor locations make such a difference to your photographs.

If your business has changed, your photographs are looking a little dated or you simply want a fresh collection of images to work with, now is a gorgeous time to get booked in.

Swipe through for all the dates and details. I'll also tag the venues so you can have a look at where we'll be spending our time.

Everything is on my website:

And if you're interested in an autumn photography session, just drop me a message.

Yesterday’s retreat reminded me exactly why I LOVE bringing people together.

Yes, I adore the flowers, the little gifts, the gorgeous food, cake and making sure every detail is just right. But it’s what happens around that table that really matters.

Yesterday we explored our WHY. And sometimes that goes so much deeper than business.

Losing a child and realising how precious life is. Surviving cancer and deciding it’s finally time to chase your dreams. Mental or physical health challenges, redundancy, relationship breakdowns, changes at work…

Sometimes life makes us completely rethink what we want and how we want to live.

And behind so many businesses are people who’ve been through things that have changed them forever.

I want my retreats to be somewhere you can bring ALL of that.

I’ll hold the space for you, help you work through what’s holding you back and support you in finding your way forward.

As a qualified coach with mental health training and 20 years of sales, marketing and business experience, I bring plenty of practical knowledge too.

There might be tears. There will almost certainly be hysterical laughter. And there will ALWAYS be cake!

But most importantly, there’ll be time for YOU.

The next Say Yes To Being Seen® Business Reset Retreat is Thursday 11 February 2027 at Redworth Hall.

£199 for the day, with Pay in 3 available where eligible.

Previous clients receive 20% off, and eligible returning Redworth guests can receive 50% off until 11 October.

I’d absolutely love you to join us.

Pay in three available too.

Well… I can finally say it properly.

I’m now a **Qualified Leadership Coach** and can officially put **MIoL** after my name.

**Sarah Louise Johnson MIoL.**

That feels quite surreal.

This qualification brings together almost ten years of supporting people through business, confidence, visibility, leadership and coaching.

Over that time I’ve worked with clients through **This Is Me**, supported business owners privately, helped photography clients become more confident and visible, and clocked up more than **2,000 hours of coaching and support**.

I’ve learnt through training, reading, experience, mistakes, conversations and working with some brilliant people along the way.

And increasingly, I’ve realised that everything I do connects.

Photography.
Visibility.
Confidence.
Business.
Leadership.
Coaching.

It all comes back to helping people understand themselves, trust themselves more and feel confident enough to **Say Yes To Being Seen**.

I’m incredibly proud of this next chapter.

**Sarah Louise Johnson MIoL**
Brand Photographer & Qualified Leadership Coach

And there is definitely more to come.

S O L D O U T!

I am honestly so grateful.

The Say Yes to Being Seen® Retreat at Redworth Hall has now completely sold out (checking with the venue to see if I can squeeze 2 more in if this is you?!?) and I cannot wait to spend the day with this brilliant group of women creating space to reset, refocus and move their businesses forward.

Thank you so much to every single person who has booked a place, shared it, messaged me or cheered it on. It means more than you know.

I’ve already had messages from people who missed out, so I’m starting a priority waiting list for the next Say Yes to Being Seen® retreat in February.

If you’d like the details before I share them publicly, comment FEBRUARY below or send me a message and I’ll add you to the list.
