Have you always been a photographer?

No, I spent 8 years working as a teaching assistant at a local primary school whilst my children were younger, I loved this job and found it so rewarding. It fitted perfectly with life for this period of our journey, but I've always loved photos and looking through them. Naturally, this led me to explore photography from an early age. I actually wanted to be a fashion photographer when I was growing up, but I had children at 19 that took us on a different path. I trained at Harrogate College in the darkrooms and with proper film, when digital took over I did a refresher course and couldn't believe how similar the process was (from a camera use point of view).

When did you become a photographer?

My business became official back in 2016 when our friends got married; I'd noticed wedding photography had really taken a turn in a different direction back then, it was becoming more reportage, which is what I love doing, so I decided I'd ask if I could follow their photographer around on the day. They said they were going to ask if I'd do it, so I jumped feet first in and loved it. I've never looked back. I had a five-year plan where I'd build my business and leave my job as a TA, but I ended up having to do that early in December 2018 because I was so busy.

How do your pronounce Anoif?

RELAXED, STORY-LED PHOTOGRAPHY
THAT SHOWS THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE WORK

I create relaxed, story-led brand and commercial photography for business owners who want imagery that feels natural, honest, and genuinely reflective of how they work.

Branding and commercial photography is my main focus, alongside photographing a small number of weddings and families each year.

FOR REAL BUSINESSES
& PEOPLE

Feeling like you know your business needs better imagery, but you’re not quite sure where to begin?

Putting off updating your website because you don’t have any decent headshots?

Or struggling to think of consistent content for social media?

I CAN HELP!

I work with entrepreneurs, small businesses, and creatives to create calm, considered imagery that supports their business and makes showing up online feel easier.

My sessions are relaxed and collaborative, designed especially for people who don’t love being in front of the camera, giving you a library of natural, story-led images you can actually use.

TALK THROUGH YOUR IDEAS

A relaxed chat, no pressure to book.

BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY

ISN’T JUST HEADSHOTS AND PRODUCT PHOTOS.

IT’S ABOUT TELLING THE STORY OF YOUR BUSINESS

And the person behind it, without it feeling stiff, generic, or like you have to be “ready” first.

MY APPROACH TO WORKING WITH YOU

I take the time to get to know the people I’m working with, what matters to them, and how they work, because that’s where the most honest imagery comes from.

If you’re unsure where to start, that’s completely normal.

Many people worry about how they’ll fill an hour, let alone a half or full day, but once we start talking, things flow naturally. We’ll chat about your business, where it began, where it is now, and where it’s heading, and from there, ideas start to take shape.

Rather than working to a rigid shot list, I help you explore different angles and moments, building a varied image bank you can return to again and again. Images that inspire you to share, rather than searching for something to fit what you want to say.

The aim is for the session to feel relaxed, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable, leaving you feeling excited, proud, and confident to put your work out into the world.

My approach to photography is rooted in storytelling.

Do yourself a favour and book Fiona!

Our branding shoot day was pure magic. The energy was high, fun, creative, and so professional. Fiona nailed the brief and what she created far exceeded my expectations. From planning, to shoot day, to follow up, she is THE photographer for capturing your brand and YOU. My website would not be what it is without her work, and those images have been used for so much more.

She was able to capture the feeling of my brand, tell a story through the images and made me feel comfortable and confident in doing them. If you want fun, openness, and genuine care, she’s your branding BFF.

I’ve already booked her for my next one. Your future self and business will thank you!

A LITTLE
ABOUT

ME

I’ve been running my photography business since 2016, working with businesses and creatives across North Yorkshire and beyond, and I’ve learned that the most meaningful images come from collaboration, curiosity, and giving people the space to be themselves.

Branding photography brings together the skills I’ve built over the years with the creative work I always dreamed of doing. Every business has a story, and so does the person behind it, and creating imagery that reflects both, while leaving someone feeling excited and proud to share it, is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

And yes, when two creative professionals bounce ideas around together, it really is the perfect cocktail.

I'm Fiona, the photographer behind Anoif Photography, based in North Yorkshire.

An absolutely brilliant experience with Fiona!

Fiona's attention-to-deal was excellent - from the initial call to chat through what we were hoping for, to her overall organisational skills.

From the moment she arrived, Fiona made the team feel at ease, resulting in a gallery of photos that our team are thrilled to share. The level of service was also brilliant - the 'sneak-peek' post shared on social media prior to receiving the full set of photos was a really lovely addition.
