Brand photos spotlight on Social Media Manager Jo Wanjohi.


Jo and I met on Instagram - I can't even remember how we first connected but I'm so grateful we did. It was lovely to have another small business pal navigating the challenges of lockdowns. We met in Liverpool last year (so nice to meet in person!) before she took off to spend some time in Kenya traveling and visiting her family. She even participated in a virtual shoot with me while she was down there (the furthest distance I shot at virtually).


When I secured the Space at the Mill in Manchester I reached out to see if Jo was in need of fresh images and it turns out that she is actually in the first stages of a rebrand/relaunch so it was perfect timing to capture photos of her in this gorgeous studio space alongside shots in the city where she's soon to close on her first property!


Since Jo is a social media manager, we set out to get photos of her with her main tools - laptop and mobile phone, along with locations and backdrops that emphasize the direction she's going with her upcoming new brand palette - natural colors and texture along with greenery and perhaps a pop of yellow.


We had a lovely time shooting around Manchester together and I'm so grateful to have been able to help her update her imagery while having a wander through the city.


In addition to the studio, we found a cafe that suits her colors, as well as a quick visit to Canal Street, and some shots in a beautiful outdoor park space. We even managed to take a break and catch the Amazonia photo exhibit at the Science and Industry Museum; and celebrated the end of our time together with Prosecco

HI, I’M KAYLEIGH — BRAND PHOTOGRAPHER, EDUCATOR, AND LOVER OF GREEN TEA, TRAVEL, AND ALL THINGS PLANT-BASED.

Based on the beaches of the northwest coast of England (by way of the Pacific Northwest), I’ve traveled and photographed over 100 countries — but nothing lights me up like capturing women stepping into their power.

 

My purpose is to help growth-minded leaders who are ready to be seen create intentional brand photography rooted in compassion and strategy, so they can show up confidently, connect deeply, and build brands that feel wildly aligned.

 

I also mentor photographers who want to hold space for this kind of transformation in their own work.​

If you're a heart-led founder ready to be seen...

 

…then this is where we begin your brand's uplevel.

​

Together, we’ll create a relaxed, story-led branding photoshoot that captures your confidence, your creativity, and the energy behind your business.

 

You'll walk away with strategic visuals that save you time, elevate your marketing, and help you connect more deeply with your audience.

How good does that sound??

If it's support you're craving...

 

…I offer soulful, mentoring for creatives and entrepreneurs at various stages of the visibility journey.

​

→ Whether you're a brand photographer ready to improve your skills, and create a more aligned client journey...


→ An entrepreneur looking to DIY your own brand photos with more confidence and clarity...


→ Or a business owner who knows they need to be seen online, but visibility still feels sticky...

​

We can work together to build skills and process in your business, shift your mindset, and help you show up in a way that feels like you—not forced.
