I'm Vanessa, a small business owner based in Surrey. I started Digital by Vanessa nearly four years ago after many years as a marketeer, and after seven years running my own lifestyle photography business. I love that I am now able to combine my two areas of experience to be able to help other female entrepreneurs and small businesses elevate their brand online, through either brand photography which reflects their unique proposition, or through a new website that sets them apart online.
My career in marketing spans many global brands including Bacardi Global Brands, Intercontinental Hotels and Visa International. After I became a mum and moving to the country, I started my own successful photography business, 'Beginnings by Vanessa Keevil Photography'.
I know the challenges of running a small business and having to be a master of all things. I also know how critical it is to present your business so it stands apart from the rest. Since starting Digital by Vanessa I have loved seeing my client's small businesses flourish in a space that they didn't have the time or experience to master themselves.

Working with Vanessa to design my website and take my brand photographs has been fantastic. She's professional, down-to-earth and thankfully had a much better understanding of what I wanted than I did! She took my descriptions of what I was looking for and turned them into reality. I'm delighted with her work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend working with her.
It’s been such a joy to work with Vanessa. She made the process of creating a website so very easy, and taken away many headaches. Her patience, creativity and all round great business sense, really are a credit to her. Her marketing acumen alongside your creative design flair has helped me to create a distinctive brand in a crowded market. I have enjoyed working with Vanessa enormously - it was a great collaboration.
From start to finish Vanessa was a superstar. She made it so easy for us to send a brief of exactly what we were looking for, she helped us find the location (and organised it for us) and on the day she worked non-stop until we were happy. Vanessa thank you so so much, we love our personal brand images and loved working with you. You are brilliant!
Vanessa is a joy to work with. Not only is she an excellent photographer, she really listens and understands what you want to achieve. On top of this, she happens to be a wonderful human being who makes you feel so comfortable, and made the shoot great fun too. I am delighted with the results and would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone.
Right from the beginning of my enquiry, Vanessa understood my vision, was open to my ideas, and really rose to the challenge. The overall design, look and feel of the website I had envisaged in my mind, was exactly what was delivered and I couldn't be happier! And on top of all of this Vanessa has been a pleasure to work with. I would really recommend her to anyone.
I can't speak highly enough of Vanessa. From the moment we met she really listened and heard what I was saying about my likes and dislikes for my branding. It was as if she could read my very busy mind. We have had nothing but positive feedback for our new look
Vanessa's expertise and friendly approach truly set her apart. From first contact, Vanessa inspired confidence, and made me feel at ease by creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere during the photoshoot.
Vanessa is not only a great photographer but a friendly and approachable professional. I recommend her to anyone seeking to elevate their personal brand through high-quality, captivating photography.
