Ruth Gilmour Photographer

We recently worked with Ruth Gilmour on a branding photo shoot for our home staging business, and it was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. Her communication was clear and prompt every step of the way. As a team of four, it was important for us to not only get individual headshots but also natural, behind-the-scenes and environmental images that reflected our collaborative energy and creative process. Ruth delivered this beautifully - no doubt because she took the time to educate herself on our brand prior to the shoot. She has an incredible eye for capturing real, authentic moments—nothing felt forced or overly staged, yet the photos look polished and professional. What really impressed us was Ruth’s deep understanding of posing, lighting, and composition. She carefully considered each team member’s outfit, body shape, and height, subtly guiding us into positions that felt comfortable and flattering. Her attention to detail is exceptional, and you can see it in every frame. The final images perfectly captured the essence of our brand—creative, approachable, and elevated. We now have a cohesive set of images that we’re proud to use across our website, social media, and marketing materials. If you’re looking to elevate your personal or professional brand with high-quality imagery that feels natural and intentional, I wholeheartedly recommend Ruth Gilmour. She’s not just a photographer—she’s a visual storyteller who knows how to make you shine. ✨

Ruth was simply amazing. With very little time in country we were not well organized but Ruth took it in her stride and was super accommodating and flexible. In regards to the photo shoots, what a star! We visited several locations for my daughter and son-in-laws wedding photos and Ruth got the best out of each location, and in between rain showers. At the end of the day, in what was heavy rain, Ruth got the absolute best shots of the whole day, turning what could have been a sad wet disaster into something from the movies - stunning.

We recently worked with Ruth Gilmour Photography for a rebranding photo shoot and updated headshots of our key staff — and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! Ruth was an absolute professional from start to finish. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, worked seamlessly with our team, and captured each person’s personality beautifully. The turnaround was incredibly quick, and the quality of the photos is simply outstanding. We’re so grateful for her creativity and skill. Highly recommended to anyone looking for exceptional photography and a smooth, enjoyable experience! We are looking to have more done now the first round were so good!

Ruth is the loveliest lady, very personable and super easy to talk with. She was very organised and even got wet to get the shot when it started to rain. Her photos are beautiful. Oh and her instructions for ‘posing’ were really useful and made the process easy. She captured the day perfectly. 💯 % recommend Ruth.
