Are you living life like it’s a dress rehearsal?

Are you putting off showing up in your business?

You say you’ll be more visible when you feel more confident, launch that service, when your website is ready, etc etc? 🤔

It’s not because you don’t have something valuable to share. I know you do.

It’s because you’re worried about what people will think when you do share it. That they’ll find you cringe. 😬 That they’ll think you’ve got ‘too big for your boots’. That you’ll be ‘too much’.

So instead you stay small and wait for a moment that never quite arrives.

These women in the photos all had those exact same thoughts - and they showed up anyway. And look what happened when they did! 🔥⚡️❤️‍🔥

Swipe to see just some of the brilliant women I’ve photographed over the last few years 👈 (sadly I could only tag 20!)

I’m so grateful that I get to work with so many remarkable women. 💛

They’re inspiring others and changing the world for the better with their passion, ideas and commitment. 🤗

On this International Women’s Day, thank you to the amazing women in my life that I’m so lucky to have, and to the inspiring women I get to work with - you’re all incredible! 👏🏼👏🏼

Also a shout out to all the brilliant men who champion us, including the 3 amazing ones I live with! 🧡

This shoot was pure joy from start to finish. 🤩

When the creators of The Positive Planner, Ali and Finn, booked a shoot with me I knew it would be fun.

They have recently been signed to Penguin Publishing and wanted photos that make people feel energised, connected and inspired when they look at them. ✨

They want the imagery to reflect the kind of energy and encouragement they bring to their work and products - and I think we nailed it! 💫

There was lots of laughter, music, disco balls 🪩, bright colours 🌈, sparkly light and a lot of personality! 🔥�
And Ali and Finn have told me the shoot completely shifted how they show up in their business. 🙌🏼

Having images that truly felt like them gave them a new level of confidence to be visible, share their work and step forward as the faces of their brand. 🙌🏼

And that’s always my goal with my shoots.

Not just beautiful photos, but photos that help you feel excited about showing up in your business. 👏🏼

When you have photos that genuinely reflect who you are, visibility suddenly feels a lot easier.

Thank you Ali & Finn for being such a joy to photograph! ✨

Here is part two of last year’s garden studio shoots… because there were too many to fit into one post!

One of the things I love most about this space is how adaptable it is.

It’s styled and ready if you’d like to walk in and start shooting straight away. Or we can tweak the shelves, swap artwork, move props and shape it around your brand.

Some people arrive with just their outfits and use what’s here. Some bring books, products and props to style it to suit their brand.

Both work brilliantly. Because the studio is just the backdrop - you and your brand are the focus.

If you’d like to see lots more from last year’s shoots, comment STUDIO and I’ll send you the blog I’ve put together.

And if you’re ready for a shoot that actually feels like you and results in photos you’re excited to share, send me a DM and I’ll share the details. 💌

Here are some of last year’s branding shoots in my garden studio in Surrey - I’ve had to split them into two posts because I ran out of space!

Every single person you see here arrived saying some version of:
“I’m awkward.”
“I’m not photogenic.”
“I hate having my photo taken.”

And yet… look at them! 🔥

My garden studio is calm and private. 🍃Just us, your favourite music playing, my camera and space to relax. No audience and no performative energy.

And there’s also a beautiful forest just a few minutes walk away so you get the best of both worlds. 🌲

Jen said:
“Vicki is a genius… It felt like a lovely morning with a friend rather than hard work. And I adore the results!”

Tamu said:
“These are the best photos I have EVER had taken of me. I love them, they’re bloody incredible.”

Teresa said:
“I’m so proud to put myself out there because I’m over the moon with the results. It was the confidence boost I needed.”

That’s what matters to me.
Not just beautiful images, but you walking out feeling more confident than when you walked in. 🙌🏼

Are you thinking this might be your year to finally do it?

Send me a DM with the word STUDIO and I’ll send you all the details. 💌

Bookings are now open for The Visibility Retreat™ this September, and there are just 2 places left.

This is a calm, confidence-led retreat for business owners who want to feel more comfortable being seen (without performing or forcing themselves to be louder).

Over 3 nourishing days by the sea in East Sussex, you’ll step away from the noise of day-to-day business and life.

You’ll gain clarity around your personal brand, craft a visibility approach that actually feels doable, and walk away with gorgeous brand photos that make showing up feel so much easier. 🙌🏼

The group is already shaping up to be something really special - looking forward to seeing who takes the last few spots!

This quiet time between Christmas & NY feels like the perfect time for a fun quiz that helps you understand your own visibility style 🤩

For years, I thought I just wasn’t very good at being visible.

The big-name coaches were saying we had to go live all the time, be vulnerable or controversial, and plan our content months in advance with neat content pillars and schedules.

But none of that felt good to me. 🥱

What I see now is that I wasn’t getting it wrong and I definitely wasn’t ‘bad at visibility’.

I was just trying to show up like people who were wired very differently to me.

Once I understood my own visibility style, everything got easier. I started to enjoy showing up in my business, my message landed more clearly, my audience grew and my diary filled with the right clients. 🥳

So I’ve created a free Visibility Archetype quiz to help you do the same. 🙌🏼

It’ll show you…

• your natural way of showing up in your work

• what might be quietly holding you back

• and what actually supports you to be visible without forcing it

If visibility has ever felt harder than it should…you might just not be doing it your way.

Here’s the link to take the quiz: https://vickiknights.co.uk/quiz

It takes just 2 minutes and it’ll help you show up with more joy and confidence in 2026 🙌🏼

Let me know what your archetype is in the comments, I’d love to hear. 🤩

This month I’m celebrating 17 years of running my business! 🥳

It all began back in October 2008 - I was 30, full of dreams and ideas, with my 8-month-old son on my lap as I handed in my notice to the London job I loved and registered my photography business.

17 years later, I’ve learnt so much - so I wanted to share the biggest lessons I’d pass on to that 30-year-old version of me.

Let me know in the comments which lesson resonates with you the most - I’d love to hear!

And if you’d like to feel more confident showing up in your business, comment VISIBLE below and I’ll send you my free visibility guide. 💌

Thank you to everyone who has supported my business along the way - whether you’re a client, collaborator, friend or if you’ve simply like one of my posts - really do appreciate it. 🙌🏼



Thank you to my lovely friend for taking this cover shot of me on our recent day in London. 🤩

When I launched my mastermind last year, I wasn’t sure how it would turn out.

Yes, I’d been running a thriving photography business for 15 years, mentoring photographers and hosting sell-out retreats for nearly a decade. But with less than a year’s experience as a qualified coach, I had that little voice asking: “Who am I to run a mastermind?”

What I do know is that I thrive in leading groups. So I went for it!

And what happened blew me away!

The five incredible business owners who joined me created real transformations: new podcasts, sold-out launches, raising fees, saying yes to big opportunities, and stepping into their visibility with so much more confidence. 🤩

That’s when I knew I’d built something special.

SEEN isn’t just another programme. It’s a powerful hybrid of a mastermind, workshops, coaching, and personal brand consultancy - all wrapped around my S.E.E.N. framework to ensure you’re recognised and remembered in your industry. 🌟

By the end of 6 months, you’ll have:

✨ A personal brand you feel proud of
✨ The courage to show up as a leader in your field
✨ A sustainable visibility strategy that fits around your life
✨ The confidence to be remembered, recommended, and recognised for the brilliant work you do

Applications only open once a year and we kick off in October. 🤩 There are just 4 spaces left.

Here are all of the details: https://vickiknights/visibilitymastermind

The group is shaping up beautifully and I can’t wait to see who else will be joining us! 🙌🏼

I have a very special podcast guest this week… my eldest son, Harrison. 💛🎙️

He’s grown up with a mum who works for herself and is visible online.

Now that he’s 17 (and on social media himself), I wanted to know what he really thinks of it all. 🤔

So I invited him onto the podcast for an honest chat about:

→ Whether me showing up online is inspiring or just pure cringe!

→ What it’s been like having a mum who runs her own business

→ What he thinks about the fact I used to share lots of photos of him when he was younger as part of my business

It’s a conversation I’ve never heard on a podcast before and we hope you’ll find it useful!
