Kind words from my wonderful clients
“I literally can’t stop looking at my photo shoot photos! Like, I actually can’t stop. They’re beyond incredible. We fucking smashed it! Every single picture is epic. Every single picture is beautiful. Every single picture tells a story. I’m obsessed! Working with you is the best.”
Rachel Smithbone
“
You exceeded my expectations with every part of the process Becky. Thank you for everything, you are a true visionary and you can listen and interpret with your heart which gives you a skill of understanding your clients on another level.”
Jo Chrobak - Interior Designer, architect, Coach & Mentor
My session with you was amazing. Your embodied confidence brought the best out of me and our photo-shoot.
Joyce Oladipo, Sex & Relationship Coach
“I approached Becky this year as I was feeling called to her work and I was feeling inspired to have new photographs and images for my business. I am so pleased that I found Becky as what she created was just perfect.
Becky took time and energy to really understand what my personal vision and intentions were for my business. I found this to be hugely supportive and meant that Becky had a really clear and powerful understanding of what I wanted. This meant when it came to shoot day, Becky was completely in tune and aligned to what I desired and it meant we worked and created with the same intentions which I absolutely loved.
Even though I was feeling out of my comfort zone, Becky's calm and grounding nature helped me so much when I was in front of the camera. I felt completely at ease and really enjoyed the shoot day.
The photographs from our time together are beyond what I had hoped for. They capture and story-tell beautifully and bring my business to life. There is a real vibrancy and energy that comes through which supports me as I share my message to my clients and students.
Thank you Becky for being so amazing and bringing my work and passion alive in beautiful images.”
Layna Wicnkworth, hEALER
“Becky is a fabulous photographer and all round lovely person. She has such a calm and warm presence and made me feel totally at ease during our day together, which resulted in a brilliant selection of photos, where I look relaxed and like I’m having fun (which I was!). Becky is very thorough in her research and preparation. She took the time to understand the mood and style I wanted the photos to portray. She maximised our time together by bringing several different backgrounds and suggesting different outfits, locations and props, so I have photos for every occasion. Her photos are vibrant and full of personality, and I’ve had great feedback about my new personal branding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Becky, she’s a star.”
VICKI mARINKER - Career Coach
This photo session was pivotal in my journey to sharing Yoga & Wellness beyond my four walls. The conversations we had throughout our time together were clarifying and empowering, and enabled me to step out of hiding and into my broader vision. Since then, my new Yoga Studio has grown and my classes are flourishing, undoubtedly out of the seeds watered on this shoot.
Lisa Pauley
“The positivity that her work exudes is what first made me approach Becky, but it was our discovery call that convinced me to work with her. There were other, cheaper photographers I was considering at the time, but none of them made me feel as listened to or as understood as Becky did. She was able to vocalise what I was after, better than I was! I felt I was in good hands, which was important to me as this was my first photoshoot.
The pre-photoshoot process was very reassuring. It helped me map out the day and iron out all the details. It also helped me gain clarity on how I wanted to present myself and my business.
On the day of the shoot, I felt reasonably calm for my first ever photoshoot, and I trusted Becky completely to guide me through it (which she did!) - so I felt like pretty much I just had to show up and do my thing. I loved the care and attention to detail that Becky put in photographing me and my space. I'm camera shy, so seeing myself from so many different angles took a little getting used to, but I'm so glad I did. For ages, I only had stock images that didn't fit well with the type of massage I offer. I work very differently from most massage therapists, so having a beautiful set of images that showcase my work as well as my personality is a huge asset. My clients now feel like they know me before they've even come for their first treatment.”
Silvia Maquirriain
It’s always such a pleasure working with you Becky and having so many fab photos has really supported my visibility and lifted my brand - I can’t wait for more shoots in the future 🤩
Claire Macpherson, Soulful Business Coach
“Working with Becky is always so joyful and easy, she brings light and fun to her photographs and always creates wonderful memories.
Her photographs have contributed to countless assets and storytelling within our business and we love how she captures our events.
I couldn't recommend Becky enough, her attention to detail is wonderful and she really cares about every shot.”
Tori Rodway, Platf9rm
“What a treasure it is to be on this Earth at the same time as you and meet, connect, and feel into your Beautiful Soul. You truly are the bridge for so many of us on the photo-shoot yesterday as we transformed with your Soft and Gentle guidance. We so Love YOU!”
Kelli ann falso
Five years ago I invested in a photoshoot for All Things IC Limited and chose to work with the wonderful Becky Rui. Looking back, it was the first time I truly owned the fact I was an independent practitioner, after four years in business. I’d changed the copy on my website to celebrate “I” not “we” and the pics from that shoot served me well for five years. Back in May I had the pleasure of working with Becky again to reflect the new season of my business. I’m five years older (and hopefully wiser!) and wanted to create a set of images that reflect who I am today. We showcased the stunning All Things IC office and my local area in West London. If you are thinking of putting yourself in front of the camera, I urge you to do it. Her images in 2017 helped transform my business and take it to the next level. I describe your personal brand as your reputation and promise. Becky’s ability to communicate what it’s like to work with me is mirrored in client comments. Any nerves are channelled into creating assets you can use for years to come. Thank you Becky for such a positive experience, I highly recommend her.
Rachel Miller
“Becky makes her clients shine while looking so natural in their photos. Her work stood out to me as I explored having my own shoot to bring greater professionalism to my website & social media.
In lead up to our shoot, our communication was clear, open and honest, allowing us to bounce around our ideas for the setups, props and locations we’d use on the day.
Our conversations were followed up with a concise email that made me feel understood and helped me to solidify what we wanted from the day.
The set-up, outfits and locations were well-tailored to me as an individual, which was felt throughout the shoot.
Becky made me feel so at ease from start to finish. She balances personal, friendly and professional in perfect measures and there was a lot of joy and laughter too. Overall we had a great day, which I look back on fondly.
On receiving my photos, the initial nerves about opening the folder quickly disappeared when I saw what an incredible job she had done. I was amazed at the speed at which she prepared the hundreds of photos for me. They came well laid out in sections, clearly labelled, beautifully edited and curated for easy viewing. I felt pretty special when I sat down to view them, it’s a great confidence boost to see so many lovely photos of yourself!
I’m excited to be sharing them and have had a great response so far. I highly recommend Becky to anyone looking to level up their business. Thanks again for an invaluable experience!”
Katie Louise, Artist
“Becky was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. From her lovely and thoughtful approach on the phone as we prepared for the shoot, to the day itself and our communications afterwards; Becky was calming, inspiring and helpful throughout. I was thrilled with the shots we got and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
Chloe Brotheridge, tHERAPIST
I've been looking for a brand photographer and decided to work with Becky once I saw her client portfolio. She had such a variety of different shots that I knew instantly I'd be in good hands.
Becky scheduled a call to discuss my needs and from the very beginning I was impressed with how much she wanted to learn about my story and my business. She asked me lots of questions and I felt really supported in creating the vision for my photoshoot. We stayed in touch leading up to the photoshoot, I was guided and given ideas to help me really connect with my vision. I was even given a detailed list of props to bring with me, many things shared by Becky wouldn't even come to my mind if she had not mentioned them.
Becky has a real gift to help you translate the vision in your head into beautiful visuals.
On the day of the photoshoot, I was quite nervous as I don't naturally enjoy being in front of the camera. Becky really helped me to relax and enjoy the whole experience. I felt very supported every step of the way.
The photos were ready much faster than I expected and I fell in love instantly! I was given a massive collection of images that I can use for a variety of purposes from my website, social media to media appearances.
Having gorgeous branding photos made a huge difference to how I feel promoting my business. I do a lot of podcast interviews and having professional photos really boosted my confidence!
It was an amazing experience, definitely worth the investment, and absolutely beneficial to my business. I highly recommend working with Becky, she is more than happy to go the extra mile for her clients, very professional, and also just a wonderful, warm human to do business with!
Alex Rudnicka, Mindset Coach
Wow, what can I say about my photoshoot in Paris!!! It was an amazing experience. Once in a while you come across a professional that truly has a good heart and soul, and that is Becky. I am beyond happy with my images. Becky was able to capture exactly what I was hoping for and I look forward to sharing these images with my community. I absolutely love each and every one and they are a beautiful keepsake of my trip of a lifetime. It isn’t every day you get to experience a photoshoot in Paris.
I couldn’t recommend working with Becky enough! She made the whole process so easy! She took the time to explore who I was and really capture the heart and essence of who I am.
The day itself was really fun, Becky makes you feel so relaxed and goes way above and beyond expectations to ensure you get the most amazing photos. Thank you Becky xx
Liz Sefton - The Nourishing Home
Becky Rui was a delight to work with. The pre-shoot consultation around who I am and what my brand is about really helped me realise how I wanted to be portrayed, which is crucial in brand photography. On the day Becky showed up with energy, enthusiasm and careful consideration of our needs in the photo shoot. I had the 90 minute package and it was amazing the value I got. It has helped me feel confident that when I need further photos in the future, I'm coming back to Becky. She helped capture me as "me", not an unrealistic image which isn't me. Just me on a really good day.
Michaela Thomas, Therapist
“These are still some of my favourite images you took six years ago. Your manner and expertise is second to none, calming and put this girl at ease, who is not a fan of the camera. Thank you sweetie.”
Vanessa Louise
She didn’t know, but I decided to work with Becky before even speaking to her. I had loved the shots she took for two of my friends and stalked her online for a while! I knew she was the only person I wanted to work with. Becky makes the whole experience painless. We had quite a few calls before our shoot where we decided on all the details and what I was trying to achieve in my business. I was literally shaking on the morning of my shoot but felt in safe hands as soon as Becky arrived. I loved our grounding meditation and had complete faith Becky knew what she was doing, and managed to get the best out of me (despite being camera shy). I LOVE the photos Becky took and proudly display them on my website, social media and all my marketing materials. They have helped me to become more comfortable on Instagram. I am way more visible online now as I have beautiful photos to use.
Alex Vitty - Website coach & designer
Working with Becky was an absolute dream!
From my initial enquiry to shoot day, she was helpful, attentive, and genuinely keen to make the shoot as successful as possible. The shoot itself was fun, I loved her creativity and real effort to make me feel at ease as well as work collaboratively to get the right messages across in all of my photos. She did an AMAZING job and I love the results! Thank you Becky!
I would highly recommend Becky if you’re looking for photos that capture you and your business.
Jessica Rogers - Leadership Coach
As soon as I met Becky I felt my prayer had been answered, she was able to take all my visions and bring it into fruition. The whole experience from start to finish was so enjoyable, the shoot itself was relaxed and this helped me connect with myself and what I was representing in these images. She helped guide me back to what lights my heart on fire and how to be in my inner stillness transmitting a confidence. I see myself continually working with Becky as my business expands. There is No one close to her doing what she does and if she crosses your path, grasp the opportunity, you won’t regret it.
Annabelle Nichol
Being creative and wanting gorgeous photos that don’t look like everyone else’s meant that when I was initially looking for a branding photographer, I was looking for someone who would collaborate and play with me.
I wanted someone who ‘got’ my vision and would be able to take it further than I could. Becky did that and so much more! It’s Feb 2021, and the photos that we did in Oct 2017 are still loved and used every day.
Working with her has been probably *the best* business investment I have ever made.
Ebonie Allard
“It has been an honour from the very first moment we met to work with Becky.
For something as potentially confronting as a personal photo shoot, she made me feel safe, creative and most of all beautiful just the way I am. This is a huge gift to anyone, especially those of us who are wishing to come out from behind the masks of conformity and gift our true authentic, hearts to the world through images.
Becky has helped to transform the way I see my own beauty and made me feel confident, bringing the real, raw essence of who I am to the world.
I can never thank you enough and hope that we get to
work together for many more years!”
Genevieve Boast, Beyond Human Stories
I chose to hire Becky because I'd been following her work for a while now and as a branding photographer myself, I realised it was time to walk my walk and invest in my own image! I was nervous about the shoot, but talking everything through with Becky beforehand helped so much, it meant that I fully enjoyed the day and felt that I was in great hands throughout the shoot itself. At the end of the day I just had such a huge sense of achievement and gratitude - towards everyone who'd helped make the shoot happen and to myself for finally taking the leap. When I got the photographs back I was just in awe of what Becky had done, these images feel like me, tell my story and have already made a huge difference to my business. People have really noticed the new images, are taking more notice of me and honestly, this shoot has been a catalyst for a lot of other things coming unblocked in my business. The main benefits of the overall experience are that I know have a better understanding of how my client feels about the work that I do and the images themselves are leading to more interaction on my social media, me posting more on my social media and me being SEEN!
Eadaoin Curtin - personal Brand Photographer
“The pictures are sublime. Thank you so much for capturing my soul.
You captured my light and that is the most beautiful gift ever.
The best thing is the emotional feel of the pictures which reflect my brand completely.
The most powerful question you asked me during the shoot is 'How do you want your client to feel when they land on your site?'.
I am so pleased with the result Becky. This is exactly what I wanted. These are stunning. I'll be sure to rave about you.”
Nancy florence
“I was looking for a photographer and stumbled across Becky’s website - I am so happy that I did! As soon as we spoke I knew she would be the perfect person to capture me in the way I was looking for. Becky took real time to understand my business, my mindset, my clients and exactly who I am so that she could build a really clear picture of what would be right for my images.
Becky is uber prepared - she stayed in touch the whole time, managing weather possibilities, she found amazing locations and did pre-shoot scouting in Brighton to show me her ideas, she wanted to understand everything she could so that when we met on the day - I felt like I had known her for years.
The pictures Becky has taken are incredible and I couldn’t be happier. They have made a huge impact in my business and my brand and I have 100s I will be able to use for a longtime. I love them - they capture who I am and how I feel about my work. Also the day was great fun - she makes you feel so at ease.
The way Becky cares about her work shines through everything she does. She is a beautiful soul who is intuitive and wise beyond her years and makes you feel safe and understood as soon as you start working with her.
I cannot recommend Becky enough - she is a rare human being and you will not be disappointed in working with her. Thank you so much Becky.”
Anna Anderson
“It was a joy to work with Becky again for my business photography and personal branding shots. I first hired Becky back in 2017 and found the shoot such an invigorating and uplifting experience. I remember how nervous I’d felt and how her thoughtful and experienced guidance created a set of photographs that served my business well for five years. Those photographs elevated my business and brand and I still use many of them today. I’ve been amazed how versatile and useful they have been.
I’m now in a different season at All Things IC, having shifted from working independently with associates, to creating my own in-house team of amazing Communication Consultants to serve our clients. I wanted to invest in new photographs to celebrate this new chapter and reflect the person I am today. Becky captured this perfectly and our 2022 shoot honoured this change and showcased my stunning office and local area too.
I spent the whole shoot day smiling and laughing as she made it such a positive experience. The nerves were there at the start, but we set our intentions together and I was able to channel that energy into the lens. Having worked with a number of photographers, she is the only person who makes that happen for me. All of the preparation you do together beforehand means you maximise your time on the shoot day as you both have clarity in terms of the types of images you want to create and what you want to communicate through them.
I was delighted to receive the photographs and love how they work cohesively as a set. Today I have photographs I’m proud to share and that serve the various aspects of my business, including new artwork for my Candid Comms podcast and highlighting our training, consultancy and mentoring options.
If you are considering investing in photography, there is no one better than Becky. The hard work she puts in before, during and after the shoot creates a set of images that truly reflect the person you are, how you feel about your business and what clients can expect from working with you. Go for it, your future self will thank you for putting yourself in front of her lens.”
Rachel Miller
“For me the thought of having a photo shoot had been something that I had been avoiding and constantly pushing towards the bottom of my to do list. However, I am my business, and I knew that having photos that really expressed the heart of who I am and my brand was critical, so I took the leap and gave Becky a call.
That initial call with Becky really put my mind at ease and even made me a little bit excited. She took so much time to understand me and the business I am creating. You can tell that she really cares about each client and their story. When she emailed me after our call to summarise, I read her words and it was incredible to see just how well she had captured what I was trying to achieve. She completely got it.
On the day of the shoot, I was really nervous and excited. Becky arrived and with her came this aura of calm and comfort.
At the beginning of the shoot she sat me down, invited me to close my eyes and read my brand statement to me to reconnect me to my purpose.
When we started shooting, Becky took on the role of photographer, stylist, animal handler (for my menagerie of pets) and a reassuring friend.
The photos she has given me have exceeded my expectations. What I love most is that the pictures aren’t just pictures. For me they really capture some beautiful moments of laughter and joy. They are warm and inviting and that is exactly what I wanted for my brand.
For me Becky stood out right from the beginning due to her personal touch. There is no doubt that she is a very talented photographer, but what makes her so special is her ability to get to the heart of who you and your business.
Deeba Anandan, Anxiety cOACH
“Working with Becky on my first photo shoot was an absolute joy, personally and professionally. She radiates such warmth and kindness, (something which came across instantly listening to her brilliant pre-shoot audio) and it made putting myself in her hands so easy. Becky took the time right at the start to understand me and what makes me tick, as well as the why behind my business and what my marketing goals were, so that she had a clear idea of my brand and what we needed to capture. Her support leading up to the shoot and on the day itself was just brilliant - genuine, patient, creative and encouraging — and the editing process was a breeze. I can’t recommend Becky highly enough.”
Charlotte Colliver, nUTRITIONIST
“I’ve never been happy with photographs taken of me. Not even my wedding pictures, where I was supposed to look my best! Naturally, I was dreading the idea of having a branding photography session, but I knew it had to be done. I was in the middle of rebranding and getting a bespoke website designed; being the heart of my brand meant it was not an option to not have some photographs taken for it.
I looked into several other photographers before I found Becky’s website, and her values, her gentle but conscious energy stood out from all the other photographers, immediately resonating with me. I just felt I had to work with her. And I am so glad I have listened to my intuition.
The whole experience was beyond fantastic! From the warm and professional reply to my inquiry to the easy scheduling of our discovery call, the thoughtfully planned questions that led to an in-depth conversation about myself, my business and my ideal clients, which Becky was listening to with genuine curiosity so she could then send over the perfect summary, was something that already blew my mind. Our call closer to the date discussing locations, props and outfits that she then followed up with sending over a detailed plan of our time together was just another touch that I thought was brilliant. After all this, I wasn’t surprised how prepared she was when she arrived on the day and how the warm and gentle energy that I already knew from her website entered my space.
I loved the grounding meditation that helped us connecting even more and to work on our common goal which was getting pictures done that truly shows who I am and help my ideal clients connect with me.
I could not be happier with the outcome! The pictures are absolutely fantastic and I am still smiling looking at them!
They make me feel confident and instead of dreading it, I now can not wait for the launch of my new website and becoming visible on social media to show myself and my brand to the world. Massive shift to where I was before. Thank you Becky, it was an exceptional and truly inspiring experience working with you. I not only received amazing pictures but an example of professionalism to follow.”
Aniko Britten, Permanent Makeup Artist
I needed professional photography for my personal branding and when I came across Becky's work I knew she could easily create the kind of imagery I wanted.
The most amazing thing in addition to the photos that Becky did for me, was the way she has a whole process around getting to know you and your goals. She takes her time to understand you 110% and really makes you feel at ease.
When preparing for the shoot, she covers everything from props and venue with you, and makes some great suggestions from her experience. Becky even helped me to find and negotiate a venue in London which honestly is far and beyond anything I expected.
On the day of the shoot it is natural for anyone to feel nervous, but Becky knows how to bring your mind to a place of intention so that you can be relaxed and in the moment. After the first few photos I was so relaxed and in my zone it made it so easy for me to be myself.
What can I say about the end result... My photos are seriously more than anything I could have expected, they captured all the elements of my personality that I wanted to portray. The images are super high resolution and are so professional.
I can say that Becky's work has had a huge improvement on my online presence and has taken it to the next level. Prospective leads and clients love the images and always comment on how professional I look! Not only did my photos come out better than I could have imagined, but Becky's whole approach about making her clients feel relaxed and at the centre is what really made the whole experience something that is unforgettable.
If you are looking for professional photography, I cannot recommend Becky enough. You are in good and safe hands. I can't wait to work with Becky again in the very near future. Thank you so much Becky for giving me the confidence and images that have taken my personal brand to the next level!
Satnam Singh
I am blown away by the beauty of these images we have created. You are a talent, a gift and a true artist. You made me feel like a goddess on the day and that is reflected in what we have created. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
rACHEL smITHBONE
Working with Becky was a delightful experience. I had been feeling a little down on myself for a number of reasons, including a weight gain. However, I also knew that I needed some new, up to date photos for my website, newsletter and business. Becky helped me feel comfortable in my body again. She also gently guided me toward the session and took care of the details. We had quite a lot of fun on the day of the photo shoot and I was amazed at the pictures that came from it. I felt attractive again and excited about putting myself out there. Becky is sweet, competent, and talented. She's very good at what she does.
Barbara Cummings - Coach
Working with Becky was a complete joy from start to finish. Even speaking over the phone I loved her calm, easy going manner and felt assured that she was very conscientious about her work. Prior to meeting, she scouted the city for the best locations and sent me emails with images so I could pick the ones I liked best. Meeting her on the day of the shoot in Florence, she was just as natural, professional and easy to work with as I had imagined. As I can be like a deer in the headlights in front of a camera, I really appreciated Becky’s efforts to put me at my ease and her direction when it came to poses. Her photos have really made the difference to my website and give prospective clients a clear visual of who I am." www.fionaciserella.com
Fiona Ciserella - Personal Coach
Becky asks all the right questions to get to the real purpose of the photo shoot and then sets the scene to get the desired effect. She is incredibly professional and her infectious enthusiasm makes the whole experience a delight from start to finish. I am absolutely thrilled with the results and highly recommend Becky to capture the absolute essence of her subject.
Sylvia Baldock - Business Coach & Mentor, Author, Speaker
Laurence McCahill, The Happy Startup School
If you need a photographer for your brand, company or event look no further than Becky Rui
Not only was she a joy to work with, she captured Summercamp back in September beautifully as you can see from this album of 700+ photos. There's not a bad one among them.
I've lost count of the amount of people that have used the pictures she took of them at camp since. Go check out more of her work here http://www.beckyrui.com
Ps. she didn't put me up to this, I just wanted to give her a well deserved plug as we approach the end of the year for capturing the highlight of ours so effortlessly.
Susan Marie - Transformational Womens Coach & Self Actualisation Expert - Warrior Woman
Becky is so natural in knowing how to capture the moment and that is what I liked about her. We connected on such a deep level and the whole process of it was not just representing in a photo something you will do, it’s very much bringing your spirit into it. She wants to capture you in the moment where you are completely connected with the purpose. That is what amazed me! The day was absolutely amazing but what came after the day was even more amazing. Seeing what a massive impact those images has in establishing my brand and my presence when it came to social media, uploading those photos and seeing people responding - having that beautiful format and having people completely understanding what I’m trying to translate through that image is what shocked me. The response and the connection that I’ve had from people while putting out those images has been outstanding. It has given such a professional impact and presence - personally I can see how necessary it is to allow yourself to stand out as a brand. She allows you to stand out as a brand and puts you out there as your authentic self. Not only did it allow me to put that presence out there, but it also allowed me to love myself and really love what I’ve got to offer, and identify and connect with my true vision, and what my brand is about. I am just forever grateful that I have had this opportunity to connect with who I am and my vision and put it out there for the world to see. (See the images from our shoot on my blog here) - November 2018
Louise Goss - The Homeworker Magazine
Becky was a real joy to work with. From the outset, she really takes great care to understand you and your business, to get to the heart of your message and learn about the people with who you're trying to connect. The whole process from initial contact through to receiving the photos was a pleasure. Becky creates a real sense of purpose during the shoot but it was also great fun and she helps to make you feel at ease and enjoy being in front of the camera. Importantly she helps you connect with yourself and that shines through in all the photos. You walk away with a set of photos which is authentic to you and your brand and that has been thoughtfully taken with your goals in mind. Becky is patient, kind and incredibly talented. I would recommend her for the overall experience as well as the beautiful final photos.
Rachel Miller - All Things IC
I chose to work with Becky after discovering her excellent images online while researching personal branding for my communication consultancy. Her audio file sealed the deal as hearing her advice and guidance cemented my gut feel that she was the right photographer for me. Planning calls and the day itself went incredibly smoothly. I felt nervous to be translating my ideas and personality into photographs, is a lot easier when I do it for clients! But I trusted Becky implicitly as she took the time to calm my fears, help me plan thoroughly and created an environment for us to work together on the day. Setting our intentions and choosing to enjoy it resulted in images I’m proud of. Becky has captured the essence of my business and I’m proud to use them to showcase what working with me is like. Thank you very much Becky, I thoroughly recommend her to anyone who is serious about their work and looking to clearly communicate what their work is all about. www.allthingsic.com
Patti Buttrick - Clinical Hypnotherapist
I started my business as a hypnotherapist at the beginning of the year and needed some photos for my soon-to-launch website and marketing materials. My husband kept suggesting to me random friends of his who were photographers or just happened to own a good camera. The idea of being photographed made me feel a bit uncomfortable anyway, but the idea of some random, disengaged person pointing a camera at me made me feel sooo awkward.
I realised that what I needed was someone who could do more than just take a few photos of me. And then I found Becky online and realised that she was everything that I needed and much more. Before the shoot, Becky really made an effort to ‘get’ my business and understand what I wanted to achieve by working with her, and why I wanted that. She then used that insight to suggest how it could be captured in a variety of fabulous photos. I LOVED Becky’s tips and guidance in preparing for the shoot, which made me think about things I hadn’t even considered, but that really made a difference to how I felt during the shoot and the finished photos, like connecting me with a wonderful hair and make-up artist. During the shoot, Becky gave me brilliant direction and tonnes of lovely support. She was so calm and so sweet, I knew that she was absolutely the best person I could have chosen to work with. The results are so many gorgeous photos. Photos that make me feel so professional and that are perfect for helping me to put myself out there and confidently progress my business. Within days of receiving them I was confidently posting my business profile here, there and everyone online. But there are also so many photos that are just beautiful photos of me and my husband’s jaw-dropped when he saw them!
Becky was a total joy to work with from start to finish. She is a fantastic photographer and a lovely soul, and she brings so much more to the table than just a camera!
Bernadette Chapman - London Wedding Planner
I felt Becky understood me as a person and my brand, she really explored who I was and what I wanted to achieve from the shoot. I was excited about showcasing how I fit into my brand and the shoot was such fun, I felt like Becky was a missing little sister of mine - so easy to get on with, fun to work with and very good at giving directions on posing! I was very excited about the photos and number of them which were suitable to use in my business - I use them a lot in my social media, website, blog posts and had one of me and my dog enlarged onto a canvas in my office!

Julie Ritchie - Coach
I decided to book a photoshoot with Becky because my brand needed a refresh. I was starting a new phase in my business and life, and I needed new photos to match. I've always understood how important it is to use visual story telling when creating a personal or business brand, and it was a long held dream of mine to have beautiful photos allowing me to do that.
I was a little concerned because I was carrying more weight than usual, however in our pre-shoot call I discussed it with Becky. She made me feel comfortable & more confident. Becky reassured me that we'd be able to create a beautiful shoot and could take shots from the most flattering angles. She did just that.
I'm so pleased with the results.
Becky was able to capture the essence of my brand and message with the photos she took, helping me to tell my brand story. I've already had a huge response and compliments on Facebook to a couple of shots I shared. Now I'm working to create a beautiful website using the images, which is another heartfelt dream of mine. I've no doubt that this investment in myself and my biz will pay for itself many times over.

I discovered Becky through searching for a personal branding photographer on Google: She specialises in personal branding photoshoots for powerhouse female entrepreneurs. She made my decision to book with her very easy with her streamlined and warm-hearted process. In our first Skype call she asked me detailed questions about my brand (I discovered one or two things from that myself!). It was very easy working with Becky and her preparation made me feel very relaxed before the day. Becky also helped me choose the right locations that fit to my brand. The day itself was just delightful. Even though it was my first photoshoot working with Becky was so much fun, and she has this energy that makes you totally relaxed and the whole process enjoyable. And the result were over 200 amazing photos of which I can use almost each and everyone! She totally exceeded my expectations and I can absolutely recommend her! www.raybalko.com

It was such a delight to work with Becky - she took the time before the shoot to listen to where I was at in my journey, what I wanted to achieve and most importantly to find out who I am, my values and my interests. I had the shoot done as I was emerging from a particularly challenging time in my life and Becky was very attuned and accommodating to this, bearing witness to who I was in any given moment. This made the shoot a partnership and a deeply spiritually connected experience. Without I doubt, I would work with Becky again and again, and highly recommend her and her work.

If you want photographs that convey the level of truth, honesty and experience that it requires to have your clients trust and invest thousands of pounds in you, I wholeheartedly recommend Becky. Her professional approach, flexibility and unrivaled ability to "see" the right angle and capture the right moment will do wonders for anyone. Remember, it's in the moments that move our hearts that people are inspired to work with you. Becky just has a magic ability to press that snap button right when that moment is happening so that it's captured for a lifetime. I love her work.

"Becky Rui is a great photographer and a joy to work with. In order to present the correct image to perspective clients and employers, a professional profile photograph was needed. Being very camera shy, I was worried about the shoot and how the pictures would turn out. All of that changed on the day, as Becky makes you feel very at ease and comfortable and the final photographs were perfect. I even bought additional ones paying the extra as I could not chose just 2. I would definitely recommend Becky."
Lizzie Martin
Becky Rui is a photographer that I can highly recommend. Her latest blog is about the photo shoot of me. I usually hate having my photo taken because I always feel such a twit and rarely like the results. With Becky all that changed. It was such a fun session. Becky makes you feel so relaxed and good about yourself. I was very pleased with the results. A very worthwhile investment!
Jackie Miller
Becky is highly professional and empathetic in her approach – wanting to understand more about my business, and me, in order to ensure that she was able to give me the pictures I needed. I had been spurred on to overcome my usual reluctance to be on the wrong side of a camera (!) by needing photos for my new website. She was reassuring throughout and the results of Becky’s work speak for themselves. Becky has produced great results for me – she is also a lovely person to work with – all else I can say is a big “Thank you!
Helen Elizabeth Evans
Becky took some profile shots for me to use personally and in my business. She was lovely to work with and took extra time on the day making me feel very comfortable and at ease. The shots are lovely and I struggled to choose my favourites out of the many choices she gave me.If you’re looking for lovely, flattering natural shots that bring out the best in you then she’s your gal!
Juliette Noske
Wow, what can I say about our photoshoot!!! It was an amazing experience. We were immediately put at ease by Becky’s warm, kind personality. It was really useful that the three of us met up for a coffee beforehand to get clear on our intention for the shoot.
Becky kept the session fun and was constantly able to help us re-focus ourselves on the outcome we wanted to achieve. We are very happy with the end product and the evidence is all in the photographs that were created.
Sarah Fletcher - Mushroom Souffle
Becky has taken two sets of business shots for me this year which I am extremely happy with. She is open to new concepts regardless of how mad they may seem and understands immediately what result you want and the image you wish to portray.
Becky also did “fly on the wall” photography at my client’s 40th birthday. She did a marvelous job interacting with guests at the party, both adult and children and the photos were fabulous.
Professional and very calm and friendly, Becky puts everyone at ease with the camera therefore providing you with a large number of wonderful photos to choose from.
Hannah Williams - The Girl on Money
Becky was really easy to talk to, and very positive and encouraging about my new business! In particular I found the conversations regarding branding really useful as it helped me to get clear on my personal brand. I was nervous at the thought of having my picture taken but I really enjoyed the shoot - I relaxed more and more and by the end was lapping it up! I was very impressed with the photos, especially how many there were, the majority I wouldn't hesitate to use. I have had great feed back on the photos and have recommended Becky to many other people. I'm using the photographs right across my brand on my website, social media, emails etc and am very happy with the investment I made in the shoot!
Minnie Von - Marketing Strategist and Coach
It was refreshing speaking with you and you to helped me get over my fear of having the pictures taken with the pre-shoot prep and coaching. The shoot was fab and fun! I had quite a strong idea of how I wanted them to look and feel and when I saw the photographs I was so happy and excited. I have had no end of complements about my website and my photos. You were very good at directing me in how to move and are natural in listening and understanding people. www.minnievon.com

The process we went to leading up to the day of the shoot was very helpful, Becky made me feel so at ease. While I was nervous about the shoot I was excited to get it done and I can’t imagine how the day could’ve gone better. The photos have been instrumental and work very well. www.thenplife.com

"Working with Becky was a dream. Right from the first conversation we had, I really felt she 'got' me and my business. The questions she asked were so insightful. In fact, straight after our first conversation I felt completely inspired to write a whole new series of workshops!
The whole process helped me get so much clearer on my brand, and I am thrilled with my new photos. If you are thinking about getting a photoshoot done, and you are looking for images that really capture the heart and essence of you and your business, I highly recommend booking a call with Becky. You'll be glad you did!"
Kendall Ritz, Coach
"Working with Becky Rui for my very first professional photo-shoot was an all-over amazing experience. Becky has such a warm and kind personality, I immediately felt at ease with her. The information she sent me leading up to the shoot was extremely helpful in preparing, and I felt completely taken care of by her in picking the locations for the shoot (in Paris!!!) as well as her help in arranging an amazing hair and makeup artist for the day of the shoot. I never could have done all of this without Becky's expertise and connections - she made it so easy for me to make some simple choices and the rest of it was basically all taken care of! During the shoot itself, Becky was so supportive and made me feel totally at ease. I felt like a celebrity - it was so much fun! The images I received from the shoot were amazing, and I'm so excited to use them in basically giving my business and marketing a total makeover. Words cannot express how grateful I am to Becky for this gift of such a wonderful experience, with such fantastic results that will be of huge value to marketing my business for a long time to come. THANK YOU Becky!!!"
Alison Schewitz - Pilates Instructor
After having seen some of Becky's STUNNING photos on Facebook, I knew instantly that she was the photographer for me! There was something very different about Becky's photographs - they were both natural and relaxed whilst at the same time capturing the true beauty of the subject. From our first telephone conversation to the end of this time working together, Becky was a true professional. Becky understands that not everybody is comfortable in front of the camera and she so knows how to make you feel at ease. Whilst chatting, laughing and having a good time she manages to capture pictures that are natural, fun and unposed - and that was EXACTLY what I wanted! Becky's photos speak volumes.
In Becky I found everything I was looking for - someone who .... creates great pictures, is a delight to work with, knows her stuff and most importantly gets you noticed!
Jessica Dornieden - Executive Tech VA Support
I enjoyed the whole day, and I love having nice pics of myself to use on my site, they fit in with what I wanted to show. I really enjoyed the initial call and felt like you were taking the time to really get to know me and what I do. I was excited about having pictures to use that are better than iPhone snaps! I have been using them in my newsletters and on my site, and I love having images that are of me and my stuff as opposed to boring stock images. I do think it helps people to really see the person they're buying from. www.jessicadornieden.com

"Becky is fantastic to work with, she puts you at ease from the outset with her friendly communication style.
Becky took time to research and discover my business needs and expected outcomes. This resulted in portrait and product shots that are perfectly suited to my business and capturing my brand, exceeding my expectations. Becky also had some great ideas for locations for portrait and studio shots.
The new and current photos have certainly contributed to increased traffic and time spent on my website. I would wholeheartedly recommend Becky for product and portrait photography."
Debbie Sakal
"Becky is truly creative and really knows her business. She put me at my ease expertly and quickly and the photo shoot was fun. The photographs she produced for me are exactly what I need and she delivered them to me in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend Becky to all my colleagues and friends. In fact, I have used her twice now. Thank you Becky.
Janine Wood
"I would highly recommend Becky for any occasion you have coming up in the near future she really is a gifted photographer. I usually hate having my picture taken but Becky made it great fun and the results were so amazing I couldn’t limit it to the 5 pictures I originally commissioned and paid for an extra 2! Thanks again Becky you really are so talented and make having your picture taken a really transformational experience."
Ruth Durbin
"I hired Becky on the recommendation of a colleague. It was a completely justified recommendation. Even within her preparatory correspondence, Becky came across as knowledgeable, thorough and very likeable. She conducted considerable research to select good locations after ascertaining from me what I was hoping to achieve with the images.
She arrived promptly and well-prepared for our day of filming. She had the order of the day well-planned. Because I am inexperienced in this area, I felt very confident to follow Becky’s lead and benefit from her experience.
It was a most enjoyable day. Becky was so relaxed and easy to get on with. I felt that she would be capable of dealing with any unexpected difficulties or changes to the schedule. She had a wealth of ideas for achieving a varied range of shots from which I would make my choice. I was delighted with draft photographs that she sent promptly for me to have time to make my choices. I was even more delighted with the finished shots. They are really lovely and have a very natural feel.
When I show the images to others, their response is always, ‘Wow! Who’s the photographer?’ I highly recommend Becky. She has a great talent and she is a lovely young lady. I will definitely be using her again in the future."
Allison Marlowe
"Becky, you have captured the precise image I was hoping for. I am so excited to be able to get this out there on my new website! I felt very relaxed having my pictures taken with you and loved the way in which you asked about my business so you could create the right ambience.
You are a very talented photographer and I will be shouting about you to all my business colleagues."
Cath Friend - Emerald Frames
I hired Becky to take some shots of me for my business this year, following several word-of-mouth recommendations of her work. I had delayed getting this done, as I’m not keen on having my photo taken.
Becky was lovely and made me feel really relaxed and I actually enjoyed the shoot!! I had an idea of the kind of feel I wanted to achieve, which Becky understood and executed perfectly. On receipt of the images, I was very pleased with the results, and would highly recommended Becky as a great photographer.
Margaret Adams, The Adams Consultancy Ltd
"Becky Rui is an excellent photographer. When we worked together she took great care with the settings, the angles and the lighting. She made sure she got the technical aspects right. More than that she helped to create the right mood for a business photography session. That helped to make the session a success.
I recommend Becky, not just because she takes fine photographs. She is also really skilled at working out what her clients want from their photography session, and then calmly and professionally exceeding their expectations."
Vanessa Jones - The PA Solution
"I needed a good Photographer that understood what I needed to represent myself and what I do, and one who shared my vision for my growing business. Becky completely understood my requirements and knew exactly what was needed and how I needed to come across. The shots were taken in beautiful surroundings, and she made me feel completely at ease.
Needless to say, I will now be commissioning Becky for family photos too! If you need professional photography that delivers quickly, Becky comes highly recommended."
Ollie Neveu - Animal Healing
I found Becky Rui through a recommendation on Facebook, and upon seeing her beautiful portfolio, immediately contacted her for a portrait session. Becky’s warmth and kindness made me feel at ease throughout the whole process, from our Skype consult to the shoot day.
The shoot was great and I felt comfortable the whole time. I was really pleased with the turn around time to get my photos, which were all so beautiful I had a hard time choosing! Becky did give her expert opinion on the best shots which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Becky - her personality, professionalism and talent made for a wonderful experience.
Caroline Ashlee - Forever Living Products
"I engaged Becky’s to take some new business head shots for my website. Like many people, I’m not keen on having my photo taken however Becky’s approach put me at ease straight away.
She also planned a great venue for the session and I’m really pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Becky, she a lovely person and a great photographer."
Lizzie Whyte - Red Shoots
"Becky is a superb photographer, explaining to me the costs and layout of the session before we started, meeting my objectives, understanding what I was looking for and creating her own ideas to compliment mine. Becky coped really well with our constant ideas of doing something new and creative and the outcome of the photos was truly excellent!
I was very happy with Beckys work and I would hire her again any time and recommend her to anyone and everyone!!!"
Monica Curtis - Financial Advisor
Becky did a fantastic job and produced a wide range of photos. She made me feel totally relaxed and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Many thanks.
Valentina Keller
"Becky did some great photos for me – and I hate having my photo taken, so this is no small feat. The photos were for my training business (www.valentinakeller.com) and I was really nervous beforehand, but she put me at ease and I really enjoyed the session.
I’ve had very good feedback from people on the photos I eventually chose to use. I am very happy to recommend Becky."
Dominic Jackson - New Thinking Coaching
"I needed to improve my image for the business because a picture tells 1000 words. Becky did that and more with her ability to get me energized about what I do and obviously her great ability to take fantastic photos.
She took time to listen and learn about me, the company and what it stood for. During the shoot Becky cleverly got me thinking about what I stood for and brought my passion, enthusiasm and personality out and I have had many compliments on my new photos.
I will use Becky again and again without question as she undoubtedly knows how to get the best out of someone and get them to stand out."
