SMALL BUSINESSES
Authentic photo + film for creative, equine & outdoorsy brands.
If you run a small business you love, your photos are often the first thing people see. They tell customers who you are, what you stand for and why they should choose you.
I’m Ciara, a Chester-based photographer and filmmaker, and I create honest, outdoor brand content for small businesses across Cheshire, the North West and North Wales: images and film that show the real people, places and products behind your brand.
YOUR BUSINESS DESERVES TO BE SEEN

WHO I WORK WITH
Equine Businesses
Trainers, instructors, yards, tack and clothing brands, physios, farriers and equine services. As a fellow equine business owner and horse rider, I understand horses and the world around them, so your products and services are shown in their best light.
Creative & Independent Brands
Makers, designers, picture framers, florists, bakers and small shops. You’ve put your heart into what you make, and I’ll help you show the person and the craft behind it.
Outdoorsy & Active Businesses
Personal trainers, yoga and pilates instructors, guides, outdoor activity providers and adventure brands. Movement and adventure is part of your story, let me tell it.
Whether you’re a one-person team or a bigger business, I’d love to chat about your brand and how great photography and film can help you connect with your customers.

HOW I WORK
Beautiful imagery builds your brand, creates connections and tells your story. My business shoots are relaxed and unposed, mostly outdoors, and nothing like a studio session. I’ll guide you through every step, and you just have to be yourself.
I work in a hybrid documentary style, capturing the real moments of your day, such as the hands at work, the animals, the customers and the place itself, as well as the polished “hero” images that showcase your brand. Every shoot includes images for your website, social media, marketing and print.
Add film. A short brand film brings your story to life in a way stills can’t. It’s perfect for your website, social media and advertising, and it can be combined with any photo shoot.
I COULDN'T RECOMMEND HER HIGHLY ENOUGH
Ciara has an exceptional eye for detail and a beautiful ability to capture moments with elegance and authenticity. Our summer shoot by Lough Derg felt effortless and relaxed, and the photographs and films she created were truly stunning. She captured the light, the setting, and the atmosphere so beautifully, resulting in timeless images I will always treasure. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

YOUR QUESTIONS
What can I use the images and film for?
Small business clients receive a usage licence, so you can use your content on your website, social media, marketing and print.
Do I need a shot list?
No. I’ll help you plan one in our first chat, covering the hero images, products, people and the behind-the-scenes moments your customers love.
Can you shoot at my premises, yard or workshop?
Yes, and often that’s the best place, as it tells your real story. I also shoot at outdoor locations that suit your brand.
Can I include my team, my products or my animals?
Absolutely. Include as many people and animals as you like.
How long until I receive my images & film?
My standard turnaround time is 2 weeks for photos and 4 weeks for film. However if your project is time sensitive, let me know and I will always do my best to accomodate any specific requirements.
What if the weather is bad?
I’m happy to reschedule at no extra cost if the forecast looks awful, though a few light showers can make moody, atmospheric brand images, so we’ll decide together.
How long until I receive my photos and film?
Photo galleries are usually finished and available to view within 2 weeks of your Photo Shoot. Films are usually finished and ready to send within 4 weeks. If you require a faster turnaround please let me know.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Ah yes the wonderful British weather…! I always keep an eye on the forecast in the run up to a session and I am always happy to reschedule at no extra cost if the weather is looking awful.
Do you offer ongoing content?
Yes, absolutely. Please get in touch with what you have in mind and I can put together a plan to suit your requirements, whether that’s a seasonal content day or retainer shoots.
