Hello! I’m a freelance stylist, living and working in Surrey and London. I work predominantly with cosmetic brands, food brands, restaurants, museum gift shops, and independent designer-makers. I provide a full styling service for photo shoots which includes concept creation and set design.

Stage one of my role is the preparation and planning that takes place in the period leading up to the shoot, and styling the actual photo shoot is the concluding part of the service I offer. Creating a shot list, shopping list, prop list, and moodboard of inspirational images & concept is all part of my process. So many different elements need to come together on shoot day, and it is my job to make sure that everything culminates smoothly and efficiently. I take the stress out of the planning and preparation so that the client can focus solely on getting their product(s) ready for the shoot.

I have an extensive and ever-growing prop collection, knowledge of prop sources, a workshop in which I make and paint props, and several kind contacts who help me with bespoke prop requests. Having the right props on set can make a real difference to the photographs.

Clients include: Bill's restaurants, Lindt chocolate, The Natural History Museum London, Marks & Spencer, Penguin Books etc. If you would like to discuss a styling project, or collaboration, please do get in touch! Emma

What Clients Say

Emma was absolutely wonderful to work with on our latest shoot. She planned out the day perfectly and prepped everything so efficiently that there was nothing to worry about when we turned up to the studio with mountains of props. I normally style our shoots myself so I wasn’t sure how it would be to work with a stylist but Emma’s creative eye, calming nature and endless energy made it such an enjoyable and collaborative process from start to finish.
