Posted on Google Gabriella MarsdenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Suzanne for my branding shoot was honestly such a brilliant experience from start to finish. From the moment I booked, everything felt easy and really well thought through. The guide she sent beforehand was so helpful, it made the whole process feel clear and stress free and meant I went into the shoot feeling properly prepared rather than overwhelmed. The planning that went into it really shows. Suzanne just gets it. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted from the shoot, and somehow managed to bring that to life even better than I’d imagined. The day itself was so much fun! Completely relaxed, no awkwardness, just a really good energy that made it easy to be myself in front of the camera (which is not always easy!). And the photos… I’m obsessed. She captured exactly the vibe I was going for. Badass, confident, 00s nostalgia vibes and completely aligned with my brand. If you’re thinking about a branding shoot, I wouldn’t hesitate. Suzanne is incredible at what she does.Posted on Google Katherine CafferkyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met Suzanne through a local networking group and instantly felt at ease in her company – something that proved invaluable when it came to stepping in front of the camera for my brand shoot. Suzanne took the time to really understand me, my story, and the heart of my women-centred business coaching brand, Pivot for Success. She didn't just snap a few photos – she captured the essence of what I do, and who I am. Over our 3-hour shoot, she managed to reflect the many sides of my life with authenticity and warmth – from coaching clients, to parenting my special needs son, to walking my beloved (and not-so-cooperative!) black Labrador, Troy. She was patient, professional, and had us all in fits of laughter at one point – which, as it turns out, made for some truly natural and joy-filled shots! Suzanne's attention to detail, especially around lighting and angles, helped me feel confident despite my usual photo nerves. The final images were beautiful – so much so, I couldn’t wait to share them. If you’re in the North West and looking for a brand photographer who will really see you and reflect your business with heart and style, I wholeheartedly recommend Suzanne.Posted on Google Helen ShorrockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Suzanne for various projects and on all occasions I have found her work to be of the highest standard. Suzanne listens to what I need the photographs for and offers suggestions and advice on the layout and style. I find her expert advice really beneficial and I am always pleased with the results of her work, for both my social media and website. I highly recommended Suzanne Skeen Photography - she is friendly, knowledgeable and an expert in product photography. I am looking forward to working with Suzanne on my future projects.Posted on Google Dalit GoodsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Suzanne has been a pleasure to work with, really great communication and I'm so pleased with all the images we have received. Our website and social media looks so much better, we are so pleased and look forward to continuing to work with Suzanne in the future.Posted on Google Mark CoupeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came to Suzanne to get an album cover shot for our upcoming release. Not only did she come up with a great concept based on our ramblings about what the themes were etc, but the execution of that concept was brilliant. We can't recommend Suzanne's services highly enough. Such a great experience all round. Mark & Eamon @ Clerkenwell Sound Collective

Frequently asked question's ...
What is a Branding Shoot?
A branding shoot is a professional photography session designed to capture you and your business in action — and unlike generic studio headshots, these images are deeply personal to you and your brand.
Think portraits, behind-the-scenes moments, your workspace, your products, and all the little details that make your business uniquely yours. Sessions are usually on location somewhere that feels right for you — that can be as simple as your living room, your place of work, or even the kitchen table!
The result? A collection of images you can use across your website, social media, and marketing for months to come.
How do I choose a location?
The good news is, you probably already know the perfect spot — you just haven’t thought of it yet!
Your location should feel relevant to you and your brand. That might be your home office, a local park, or even your kitchen. Somewhere that tells your story and feels natural to you will always translate better on camera than somewhere that looks good on Instagram but doesn’t feel like you.
I’ll always ask you for your ideas first, as you know your business and your vibe better than anyone. Once you’ve had a think, we can chat it through together on our planning call and make sure it’s going to work beautifully for your shoot.
What's the process?
After your initial enquiry, we can schedule a quick call to get to know you and your business. If you decide to book a Brand Mini Session or a Behind the Business shoot with me, there’s a 50% deposit to secure the booking.
Once received, I’ll send you over my Ultimate Planning Guide — which will help you get really clear on what you want from your photos. It’s an invaluable tool, and it’s only available to booked clients!
How long does a shoot take?
The Mini Brand shoot starts at a 1 hour shoot. A behind the Brand shoot is an on location shoot suitable for businesses with premisses and staff and runs at up-to 3 hours. Personal Brand shoots can be extended if multiple locations and outfits are desired.
How many photos will I get?
A 1 hour shoot usually gives you a minimum of 20 fully edited photos. A 3 hour Behind the Business shoot gives 50+ photos
What should I wear?
First and foremost — comfort! If you’re not comfortable, it will show in your photos.
Think about your brand colours if you can, but don’t panic if your wardrobe doesn’t match your hex codes! What’s more important is that your outfit feels authentically you — whether that’s a power blazer or the jeans and nice top you’d wear to a client meeting.
My rule of thumb? Wear what makes you feel like the best version of yourself. That’s the person your ideal clients need to see.
(And my Ultimate Planning Guide has a whole section on outfit planning to help you figure it all out before shoot day!)
What if I don't like being in front of a camera?
I don’t think I’ve ever had a client who didn’t say this at some point — so you’re in very good company!
My job is to make you feel relaxed and have fun, and by the end of the session you’ll wonder what you were ever worried about. I take care of everything, from directing you on how to pose to making sure you feel confident throughout.
Plus, before we even get to shoot day, my Ultimate Planning Guide means you’ll arrive fully prepared and knowing exactly what to expect — my clients regularly tell me it made the whole experience feel so much easier than they imagined.
Don’t just take my word for it though — here’s what some of my clients have said:
When will I receive my photos?
I always say allow two weeks but its usually less.
Where are you based?
I am based in Great Harwood, covering the Ribble Valley, and all across Lancashire.
