UK Brand shoot spotlight on Tamiqua the Herbalist.


I am so grateful to have been able to now shoot Tamiqua THREE times. She is a gorgeous soul with a passionate drive to bring herbalism to the forefront of people's minds when it comes to alternative care and holistic treatments.


Tamiqua is breaking down the historical stereotype that herbalists are elders in the community and brings to the role, youth, and relatability. Her belief that everyone has the right to and deserves good physical and mental health helps fuel her drive to educate and share methods of treatment by selling her products online as a full-time herbalist! (She's also a wonderful vegan chef as well!)


We set out to capture this UK herbalist with plenty of herbs, plants, fruits and veg surrounding her to give plenty of content to use throughout her websites and social media, emphasizing her brand partnerships, knowledge, and affinity toward furthering her education.


This was the first ever 2-day shoot I've delivered, making sure to take full advantage of the Airbnb she hired. We both brought in loads of props to pad out the space to look well lived in, including:


  • towels

  • duvet and pillow covers

  • wall art

  • bathmat

  • plants and flowers

  • jars of herbs

  • teapot and mugs

  • LOTS of books and study materials


Throughout our shoot together, we visited a floral shop, veggie market, and vegan grocery store, plus found a Jamaican shop that had DELICIOUS vegan patties! We shot her bath scenes in the evening of day one with the help of my giant godox light. The following morning we worked through the kitchen juicing, lounge relaxing, and bedroom stories we laid out, followed by a trip to Sefton Palm House with the grand finale of enjoying a well-deserved plant-based dinner at the Vibe in Liverpool.

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.
