Hi I’m Jodie!

Hi! I’m Jodie, a professional Personal Brand & Portrait Photographer based in Manchester. I’ve been photographing people and small businesses since 2019.

I love to photograph female founders and purpose-led businesses, whether you’re a small business owner or a corporate team. If you’re making a difference in the world then I aim to showcase who you are and what you do, so you can attract your dream customers and clients!

As a small business owner myself I understand it can be hard to show up online & on social media. This is where my creativity, knowledge and passion for photography & video can help you showcase your brand and business.

When I haven’t got my camera in my hand you’ll find me looking for vintage treasures in second-hand shops, gardening, somewhere by the sea or enjoying days out with my partner, friends and family.

I can’t wait to work with you!

What my clients say…

“Jodie is professional, friendly and really knows her trade. Helped so much on a fashion photoshoot, not just with the photography (which, of course, she is highly skilled in) but made the models feel comfortable, organised the setting, gave pose suggestions etc. so I could focus on other aspects of the day. She also absolutely smashed a running order and shot list for the day and kept in frequent contact afterwards during the editing process. I’m so happy with the results and would highly recommend her photography.”
