About Claudia
Hi, I'm Claudia Baines
I specialise in event, property, product and commercial photography and videography, creating high-quality visuals that help businesses present themselves clearly and professionally.
My Journey
I bought my first camera almost 20 years ago, originally as a hobby alongside my work as a Driving Instructor. As my skills developed, friends began asking me to photograph their weddings and family portraits, which naturally led me into professional photography. To ensure I could consistently deliver professional-quality images, I completed a part-time photography course at Exeter College.
Working as a wedding photographer taught me how to work confidently under pressure, adapt quickly to changing situations, and manage real-world client expectations.
From Weddings to Businesses
After getting married and having children, my priorities shifted. Weekends became more important, so I chose to focus my work on business photography and videography.
I now work with local businesses who need strong, reliable visual content for their websites, social media, and marketing campaigns.
This transition allowed me to create photography and video that not only looks good but helps businesses market themselves more effectively.
How I work
I enjoy working closely with people and building easy, professional relationships with my clients. Whether I’m photographing a fitness shoot, filming a testimonial, or capturing an event, I aim to make the process relaxed and efficient.

Outside of work
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or heading off on camping trips with my family and friends.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The process of how I work
ENQUIRE & BOOK
Get in touch and we’ll have a quick call to chat through your needs, style, and what you’re looking to achieve. Once everything’s agreed, we’ll get your shoot booked in.
PLAN & SHOOT
Before the shoot, I’ll take the time to learn more about your business, brand, or event. This helps make sure we’re fully prepared and get the most out of our time together.
ON THE DAY
It’s go time. Thanks to the prep, everything runs smoothly on the day. Whether it’s a video shoot or social content session, I’ll arrive a little early to set up and then capture all the photos or footage you need — and usually a bit more.
AFTER THE SHOOT
I always aim to deliver your images & videos as quickly as possible — sometimes as soon as the next day. I usually say within 14 business days, but it’s often sooner.

Kind words
“Claudia was fantastic at a relatively large function where we asked for portrait, group and function shots. She was very flexible during the event when our requirements changed and offered welcome advice on best way to get things done. The quality of the pictures are excellent, clearly a professional touch. No hesitation in recommending for any events.”
