Vicki Knights Inspiring business owners to show up and be seen with joyful confidence through gorgeous branding photography and Positive Psychology

One of the things I hear most often at the end of one of my shoots is:

“I can’t believe I actually ended up enjoying that!”

And I love to hear that! 🤩

Because most people arrive at their shoot feeling a little nervous.

They say they feel awkward in front of the camera. Some worry they won’t know what to do with their hands or how to look like themselves rather than a strange ‘business owner’ version of themselves.

Which is exactly why my shoots are designed to feel easy, relaxed and very guided.

You don’t need to know how to pose or perform. You just need to show up, and I’ll guide you through the rest. I promise you’re in safe hands! 🙌

These photos were all taken my mini branding shoot days in a gorgeous hotel in Guildford, Surrey over the last couple of months. But you’ll notice that every gallery ends up feeling very different - because every person is. ✨

My next Guildford mini branding shoot dates are 19th August (only 1 slot left) and 30th September.

Here’s the link to more details: https://vickiknights.co.uk/surrey-headshot-photographer

And if you’d prefer a longer, more bespoke shoot, I have two shoot spots left in August, September is full and one slot left in October. Please DM me for details. 💌

Thank you to all of these brilliant women featured for stepping in front of my camera and bringing their all to the shoot. 👏

What better shoot to share to kick off the weekend than the brilliantly dynamic . 🔥

Liana is one of those people who is so full of energy and ideas that, after spending time with her, you come away feeling like anything is possible. 💪

I’ve known Liana for a number of years and have attended lots of her inspiring events - I was so chuffed when she booked my annual photography package this year. 🤩

It means we get to create 3 completely different shoots together over the year, building a varied bank of images that reflect all the different sides of Liana’s brand and work.

We did the first shoot at my garden studio in Surrey and then the second shoot in two very cool venues in Brighton. 🌊

Liana is known as the Inspirer in Chief 💫 and is a positioning and strategy expert, so it felt especially important that the images captured how it feels to be around her: bold, energetic and full of possibility. 🙌

When Liana arrived to shoot number two in a sequinned robe, purple platforms and holding a disco ball I knew we would create something special! 🪩👠

Liana was also a fantastic guest on my podcast last year where we spoke all about leaning onto what works for you and keeping your tummy light switched on. 💡Just comment 31 and I’ll send you the link to listen. 🎧

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. 🤩
