I'm Julie Broadfoot, a freelance professional photographer based in Glasgow. Most of my shoots are in Scotland but I am available for work across the UK and worldwide. I rarely face a camera and feel a bit lost without mine in my hand. I take natural, relaxed, authentic portraits that flatter. I don't believe in Photoshop fakery.
I love the reactions my clients get when they update Facebook and LinkedIn with their new photos. Then there's the work I do at events - candid storytelling in a documentary style, watching people and capturing moments, anticipating action, whether it's at a conference, charity walk, family party or a wedding.

Services
I shoot natural, relaxed, authentic headshots, portraits and profile pictures that you'll love to show off. No awkward positions, cheesy poses, filters or nasty airbrushing. You'll have great, flattering images for professional or personal use, whether you're revamping your website and personal branding images, enhancing your social media, selling a book, boosting your online dating presence or updating your acting portfolio.
I capture natural, characterful pictures of animals, showing their true personalities in their familiar environments. I would spend all my time with animals if I could. I've a strong connection with them and I'm very good at coaxing nervous creatures out of hiding. They love me and I love them. And, by extension, my camera loves them.
I'll work with you to create a set of bespoke, authentic commercial photos for your business or personal brand. It's time to get rid of the stock images that reduce the impact of your brand. Blog posts, social media updates and press releases need strong imagery to illustrate your customer stories and shout about your services.
I focus on candid, documentary-style event photography, complemented by a few 'posed' pictures if they're needed to tell your full story. You'll get great event photos to send to press, raise awareness of your work, boost engagement on social media, encourage footfall at future events, or save memories for loved ones.
I capture stills for press and publicity - a mix of live action photos during camera rehearsals or on air performances, set-up press shots with talent, candid audience reactions, and active backstage moments. Just tell me what you're working on and we can plan how to promote your production. I'm at home in a broadcast environment and I'm exceptionally good at avoiding cables, crews and cameras!

Julie was very easygoing and made relaxing in front of the camera feel natural. She also had a good eye for natural light and backgrounds. The photos turned out superb.
Beyond the photo shoot, she was prompt with her communication and getting the photos edited. I'm very happy with the entire experience and will come to Julie again if I ever need more photos in Glasgow.

Julie really is a magician. She worked with us to come up with a smooth, stress-free pet photography shoot and suggested lots of ideas for shots that we'd never have thought of. The whole experience was really enjoyable - she's so friendly and puts you at ease right away. We never felt awkward or "posed" during the shoot - in fact, it was just like hanging out with a friend.
She was super considerate of our elderly dog's needs and everyone felt really relaxed. When we saw our proofing gallery, we were moved to joyful tears at how well she'd captured our family - she really caught our dog's personality

Julie did a photoshoot with me last year so I could get updated photos for my website, and I am still so delighted with them. She made me feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera, and I really appreciated her before-shoot questionnaire so she really knew what I wanted on the day. I don't consider myself a confident person in front of a camera, but she really made me feel comfortable. The shoot went for a couple of hours and it was a lot more fun than I expected – and I'm delighted with the photos and proud to show them off on my website.

Julie did some corporate headshots for me a few years ago and her ability to make me feel comfortable and produce great photos blew me away. So much so, that I asked her to be my wedding photographer. All the guests were made to feel at ease and actually enjoyed having their photos taken in the rain. The photos of my wife and I are incredible and are the perfect reminder of our happy day. Julie is awesome, please don't hesitate to hire her!

I've worked with Juliebee on a number of projects over the last few years, most notably the launch events for both of my books. Julie has covered both these events professionally and expertly, getting all the shots we need while being unobtrusive and discrete. I have no hesitation in recommending her services for these types of events and would suggest you give her a call for a chat if you are looking for someone who is dependable, professional and provides you with a quality finished product.

In a world where everyone claims to be a photographer, because it's deceptively easy, Julie's work stands out. The factor that sets great photographers apart is getting striking images in challenging circumstances and Julie has a great skill for doing that, drawing on a wealth of knowledge and technical wizardry to achieve great results every time. And she's fast, editing and delivering projects quickly and without fuss.

I booked Julie to take headshot images of a new client so their imagery was consistent. Julie was professional, adapted to the situation and secured great shots that both the client and I were impressed by. Her turnaround time was also impressive and I've no hesitation in recommending her for natural corporate photography.

Julie has shot two book launch events for us and has been absolutely brilliant. She has a special talent for capturing the energy of the event in her interesting and creative photos and her engaging manner puts everyone at ease. If you are looking for a photographer for your event who is friendly, professional, creative and will deliver amazing photos, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Julie.
