BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY
& DESIGN
to make you stand out
If you’re looking to maximise your growth on social media and connect more meaningfully with your audience, personal branding photos are essential.
In today’s digital world, where the online space is saturated with competition and information, every business needs strong visuals to communicate its story. From brand photography to brand design and website design, creating a cohesive and professional identity is key to standing out.
​
Customers crave stories and connections with brands. From showcasing your best work and behind-the-scenes moments to expressing your unique personality, brand photography, design, and a professionally crafted website help you stand out and grab your audience’s attention.
​
In these photos, I can capture your personality, passion, and the process behind your business. This approach, combined with thoughtful brand design and a visually compelling website, goes beyond a simple headshot, cultivating an emotional bond with the essence of your brand. Together, these elements create a visual journey that highlights the many layers of your business, helping your audience gain a deeper understanding of what your brand stands for.
Hello
ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Rachael Kirkwood – a creative designer, photographer, and mum of five based in Manchester. I specialise in helping personal brands and businesses stand out with stunning brand photography, professional product photography, and branding that stops your clients in their tracks. I also offer website design services, making me your one-stop shop for creating a cohesive and captivating visual identity.
​
My creative journey began 17 years ago when I picked up my first DSLR camera in New Zealand whilst working as a designer. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills across various photography styles, from weddings and newborns to family portraits and business branding.
​
What truly inspires me is bringing stories to life – whether it’s capturing family memories or empowering entrepreneurs, particularly women, to shine through professional design and photography. I believe every brand deserves to be seen, and I’m here to help make that happen by telling your story authentically through scroll-stopping visuals.
​
At my studio in Marple, we’ll collaborate to create images and designs that reflect your unique vision. Together, we’ll make your brand visible and unforgettable.
Beyond my work in design and photography, I also own Mumtobe.com and Mama Made Business

A GALLERY OF LIFE'S LITTLE TREASURES
Creating
​
Having a baby is one of the most incredible and fulfilling experiences. You have created a little life and thats pretty amazing! Newborn's change so quickly and by 4 weeks old those special newborn features are slowly disappearing as they grow into the little person that they will become. Capturing every little detail of a newborn baby is what I love doing and of course getting them into those squishy little poses that we all love. I am truly passionate and grateful to do what I do and I would love to help you create art that your family will be able to treasure forever. I can come to your home to capture those precious newborn moments
