Elevate Your Brand Through Exceptional Photography
Many people freeze up at the thought of a photoshoot for their business.
The dread about being in front of a camera, the pressure to represent their brand perfectly, and the feeling of being overwhelmed by having to plan and execute it all.
Hi, I'm Ruth
As a commercial photographer, I find many of my clients feel this way. They worry about how to present their brand, are anxious about achieving the desired look, and feel overwhelmed by the whole process.
But here's a secret I've learned.
Outstanding, scroll-stopping photos don't just happen. They're born out of understanding, planning, and collaboration.
With me, you're not just booking a photoshoot but embarking on a transformative journey for your brand.
From concept planning to the final click, we’re with you, capturing not just photos but your brand's unique story.
Organisations I’ve captured
When you work with me, we don't just schedule a photo session.
I don't just take pictures; I amplify your message through visual storytelling, creating a brand image you'll be proud to showcase.
Whether you’re an established business or a budding entrepreneur, I guide you step-by-step to ensure that you get the images you desire and can proudly and confidently elevate your online presence.

Kind Words
Ruth was amazing with capturing some gorgeous family pics and a whole series of chilled professional pics of this lad for my identity at “the business architect”.
Ruth had me at ease which really showed in tye images and chose some fab places around Hamilton for the pics. Can’t recommend Ruth enough!!
Glenn McHardie, The Business Architect
Ruth recently completed a commercial shoot for us and as per usual, she went above and beyond any expectations we had. The shoot involved organising and liaising with around 20 people across two locations and the process was completely stress free thanks to Ruth’s ample experience and calm demeanour.
She understood the brief and what we were trying to achieve and as always, delivered more than we could have imagined, coming up with ideas and angles we had not thought of and ensuring we had all of the content we needed. One of the best investments we have made.
