Business owners, does your online presence truly reflect your brand?

When you have clarity on your brand values, your mission and vision, and the kind clients you want to attract, you can grow your business in a way that feels truly aligned and that inspires you to thrive… And the good news is, all of this forms the basis of how we design your brand photo shoot 🥰

When you book a brand shoot with me, I don’t just show up and take photos. Instead, you’ll first receive a brand questionnaire designed to help you define what your brand represents and and so much more. We then schedule an in-depth consultation, where we collaborate together to plan your shoot, so on the day, you can relax and enjoy the experience, and I can create a suite of beautiful, authentic images that fully reflect who you are, what you do, and speak to your dream client 💞

Here’s a small selection from a brand shoot last year with the wonderful ladies We had so much fun creating these images to support their re-brand and to build their new website and I loved every minute of it!
Here’s what one they had to say –

“We had a fantastic experience working with Maria for our company photoshoot. From our first interaction to final delivery her process was thought through, professional, engaged, and friendly. She took an interest in understanding who we are and what we're trying to achieve, helped us carve out what we need and put our nerves at ease on the day of the shoot. We liked her flexibility, her warm, friendly demeanour and her professionalism. We are very happy with the final result and would recommend her wholeheartedly!”

Have a wonderful weekend everyone x

It’s been a long time coming, but I am beyond THRILLED to launch my shiny-new website 🎉

It has truly been a labour of love (any of you who have ever been involved in building a new website for your business, you’ll understand what goes into it!) Almost a year in the making, but a reflection of the many years of hard work before that in building my business and brand to this point… finally replacing the previous website my brand had long outgrown 🥺

Huge shout out to my web designer Lee Fletcher I couldn’t recommend him more for his incredible talent, knowledge, and patience. An absolute pleasure to work with and I’m so delighted with the end result!

I also need to pay tribute again to my amazing brand designer Roberta who worked her magic a couple of years ago to truly understand the essence of my brand and I feel she captured it to perfection 🥰

So, my website coming together so beautifully with my brand in this way feels like a very happy (if slightly delayed) marriage!

Here’s a few screenshots. You can find it at https://mariarusk.ie (link in my bio).

I’d love for you to take a look and let me know what you think 💗

Have a wonderful week x


⁠

This week has really been giving us the summer vibes ☀

And I'm looking forward to hitting the beach for more gorgeous sessions like this one!

When you book a session with me, location is one of the things we’ll discuss, to make sure that the photos (and the experience) perfectly suit your family’s personality.

Whether it's in your own home, on the beach, in the park, a field, or granny and grandad’s garden (the options are endless!) the location can really help reflect your story and who you are as a family. Every family is unique, so of course your images should be too 💗

Where would be your ideal location for your family photos?

Get in touch to plan your session and let's capture some timeless memories of your family this summer 📷

Worried a brand shoot means endless photos of just you? Think again!

A solo business owner recently asked me how we could create variety in a brand shoot when it’s just them in all the photos. Clearly not relishing the idea!

And I totally get it. Putting yourself out there can feel daunting. You’re busy doing what you love, and professional photos? That often gets pushed to the bottom of the list... or avoided altogether.

✨ But here’s the good news: Your brand shoot doesn’t have to be ALL photos of you.

A headshot session is just you. But a brand session is your whole story. Yes, you’ll be in the photos, but so will all the thoughtful details that make your business unique: details that reflect your purpose, your mission, and values, as well as those that reflect your workspace, tools, the atmosphere you create, and the things that inspire you.

✨ And the best part? These photos give you a versatile suite of content to use across your website, social media, and other marketing platforms, to help you attract and connect with your ideal clients effortlessly.

Isn’t that a relief?

So, business owners, what are the props, colours, textures, settings, tools, or other elements that tell your story? Let’s chat about how we can bring them into your next brand shoot.
