Caroline Smith
I recently photographed a combined branding and headshot session for Caroline Smith of We Are Smudged in Monmouth. Caroline is the founder of We Are Smudged, a creative consultancy that helps businesses communicate with clarity and personality. She was looking for new photographs that would reflect the way she works, her brand values and her approachable style.
We began the session with a set of headshots, using natural light in outdoor spaces around Monmouth. The aim was to create portraits that feel professional but relaxed, giving Caroline a selection she could use across her website, proposals and social media profiles. These images show her as warm, confident and easy to connect with.
The rest of the session focused on branding photography. Caroline wanted images that capture what We Are Smudged is all about, working with people, exploring ideas and making things clear. We photographed her using her laptop, making notes and taking calls to reflect a typical working day. These moments give future clients a sense of what it’s like to work with Caroline Smith We Are Smudged.
Because We Are Smudged stands for real connection and simplicity, we kept the shoot low-key and authentic. No awkward poses, no forced smiles – just natural, professional images that match her brand tone.
The final set of images gives Caroline a versatile collection to use in different formats and across platforms. They help her share her story visually in a way that feels genuine.
If you’re looking to update your headshots or need personal brand photography that shows who you are and how you work, I offer tailored sessions that keep things simple, relaxed and true to you.
