Client Love & Kind Words

Thank you to my fantastic clients who have taken the time to write a review or testimonial to share their experiences with me from their own personal branding photoshoots.

I came across Yolande’s profile and was impressed by her work with female leaders and beautiful, unforced images.
The shoot itself was a lot of fun, with the added benefit of her great hair and makeup artist, and the resulting portfolio images have been hugely impactful in my marketing and PR efforts, immediately sparking more interest in my website and social media posts, as well as some lovely compliments!

I've worked with Yolande on three occasions and can honestly say that the images she's taken have been instrumental in raising my profile and elevating my business. She has a unique ability to creating unique, striking shots that are full of energy and sparkle. She is an amazingly talented professional.

My photoshoot with Yolande was superb from start to finish. She understood the brief and really helped expand it to deliver some amazing photos. She's great fun, put me at ease and is brilliant at keeping energy levels high, even when your cheeks hurt and you're not sure you can smile much longer!

The whole shoot experience was delightful with Yolande. In addition to her great talent at drawing the best out of you, she prepares you incredibly well so the time is maximised. And gives much help afterwards on choosing the photos.
She also takes note of what you want to portray rather than just taking a lot of pretty pictures.

We had a wonderful experience with Yolande.
Our team had a varied approach to being photographed, with some nerves, and she was great at making us feel at ease and working with each person individually.
The results are fantastic and the only challenge was choosing the best shots!

A fantastic experience working with Yolande, I was delighted with the pictures, and can really recommend working with her.

  • Andree - Landscape Architect

Yolande’s talent for capturing people is complimented by her professionalism, kindness and fantastic work ethic. She photographed 14 people on 2 shoot days and made the team immediately feel at ease. She helped us find our best angles and made everyone smile. Feedback from my team has been great, they are all happy with their photos and enjoyed the shoot. Overall, Yolande is a dream to work with!

  • Alexandra R - Bronzegate

Yolande was the most wonderful photographer - so professional, easy to get along with and very efficient, but the best is she is a real talent, we love all the images that she created for our business and it was really hard to narrow down the selection as they were all so wonderful.

I loved working with Yolande.

She put me at ease, had great ideas for my personal branding shots, and was clear with direction so I knew exactly what to do.

Love the outcome and highly recommend.

I loved working with Yolande.
She is a very talented photographer and really knows how to capture unique expressions. I was very nervous at first, but she made the photo shoot so easy by giving posing recommendations.

  • Paola - Design My Interior

You made the whole process so easy from sending us tips for how to prepare and what to wear, ideas for finding a location and a makeup artist. You put everyone at ease, brought out the best of each of us and made the whole day such a pleasure.

Yolande is the place to go for professional headshots. I was looking for some images that I could use in a number of different scenarios and Yolande was was the only choice for me. She is supremely creative, flexible and understood what I was trying to achieve - she also helped to plan my shoot. Some headshots can look robotic and dead-eyed but Yolande is disarmingly charming and distracting. As a creative myself, I could see her pure talent and I LOVE the results.

I am the founder of an award winning design agency and have worked with Yolande on many of my clients shoots and my own personal brand shoot. She is the ultimate professional at all times. She has a wonderful ability to relax her clients, whilst continually responding the surroundings to create magical results. She is creative, professional, and produces beautifully curated shots of her subject. She proves that photography is an art and that a camera needs an artist.

Yolande is such a pleasure to work with. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera suggesting poses and outfit changes. The venue we chose was a dark blue and yet the photos came out bright and sharp which made us pop with colour and vibrance (I was so happy). I’m really pleased with the photos. Thank you Yolande.

I have used Yolande on several occasions (blame my ever changing hair styles). I remember on my first photo shoot how nervous I was, Yolande put me at ease so very quickly and the results were amazing. The simple fact I have used Yolande two more times since then, proves how brilliant her work simply is. I wouldn't look for another photographer.

Yolande’s ability to use light is delectable, and every single time I've launched a website or service with her photos, without fail, my clients and patients comment on how amazing the images are.

Yolande has the ability to make you feel totally relaxed on the shoot - even if you feel camera--shy or awkward, she'll always make you shine.

  • Dr Catherine Spencer - Sport Doc London

I had the pleasure of working with Yolande for two half-day branding photoshoots, one by the sea and one in London. Both provided different challenges for Yolande - extremely bright sunshine and high wind by the sea; people and traffic in London. She mastered both brilliantly. She provided me with a fantastic selection of different photographs. I am not a naturally relaxed 'model' but on both days Yolande put me at ease and the results speak for themselves!

Yolande and the photos are simply amazing. She takes the time to understand your business, how you want to use the photos so you can really tailor the package.

Yolande isn't just creative and an expert in professional branding, she's so calming and quietly confident that this makes you feel relaxed and at ease.

The whole process was efficiently planned from start to finish. Yolande gave me invaluable information about clothes, hair, makeup and the practical arrangements for the shoot. On the day, she worked with me in a collaborative way; although she had her own ideas she listened to my suggestions aswell. She put me at my ease in front of the camera immediately. I love my headshots and they represent me at my best.

  • Joanne Toloczko - Family Solicitor

I worked with Yolande to create some professional but friendly photos. The photos are perfect and exceeded my expectations and working with Yolande was really fun and she put me at ease after being really nervous about the process of having my photo taken. I would definitely recommend working with Yolande!

  • Grace Tolley

Yolande was recommended to me by two friends who worked with her on Personal Branding photos. On the day we were shooting, the sky turned red and Yolande decided that we need to call it off and reschedule to another date - she wanted me to have the best outcome - we reconvened a couple of weeks later and the effects were amazing. I now have a full suite of photographs that I use on my website, social media and print literature.

Yolande is amazing, a super talented photographer! I love the photos and I can’t wait to send more colleagues her way soon.  I had so much fun on the shoot and look forward to doing it again.....”

  • Melissa M, Interior Designer

The results surpassed my expectations, and I credit these pictures for taking my business to the next level at a crucial time.

I recommend Yolande to anyone looking for standout portraits or headshots.

  • Claire Norwood

Yolande recently took some images for my website. Working with her was an utter pleasure and she made me feel completely at ease while being super professional and I am thrilled with the end results!

Working with Yolande on my business profile shots was incredible.

She instantly eased my anxieties of being in front of the camera and with her calm and professional approach and I felt confident in responding to her expert advice on the shoot and in doing so I have come away with a portfolio of shots that I am super proud of, and which have really influenced my brand.

On the day Yolande made me feel relaxed and at ease. We went outside for the shoot and tried different lighting and backgrounds, ending up with some lovely results. Yolande was professional and fun.

She has delivered exactly what I was looking for."

— Natalie at Pebble UK

"Yolande has done multiple shoots with me taking a variety of different photos for me ranging from head shots in Suffolk to photos of my catering company's food for PR to photos of my team.

Each and every time Yolande made me feel at ease, is extremely professional and her photos are beautiful."
