A Stylish Brand Shoot with Jo & Francesca from Staged by Design.

There’s something special about photographing people who are not only passionate about what they do—but who live and breathe creativity. That was exactly the vibe when I had the joy of doing a brand shoot with Jo and Francesca, the powerhouse duo behind Staged by Design, based right here in Cheshire.

If you haven’t come across them yet, Staged by Design is known for transforming properties into styled-to-sell showpieces. Whether it’s a cozy HMO or a luxury Airbnb, Jo and Francesca know exactly how to turn a blank space into a buyer’s dream.

📸 The Shoot Vibe: Stylish, Fun & Full of Personality

Jo, an interior designer and company director, brings a calm confidence and refined eye to every project she touches. Francesca, also a director and the creative force behind the business, adds warmth, energy, and a keen sense of flow and functionality.

For this shoot, we didn’t just want to capture the faces behind the brand—we wanted to tell a story. Think:✨ Creative portraits framed by beautiful interiors✨ Candid moments between fabric swatches and mood boards✨ Detail shots of curated textures, color palettes, and statement décor elements✨ Behind-the-scenes glimpses of them styling a space in real-time

The energy was relaxed but intentional—just like their design style. Each setup felt like it belonged in a glossy interiors magazine, yet still felt down-to-earth and authentically them.

💡 Why These Images Matter:

Jo and Francesca are the kind of professionals who make a space feel like home, even if you’ve just walked in for a viewing. These new brand photos reflect their modern yet approachable style, and will help bring even more personality to their digital presence. They now have a library of branded visuals that match their values: quality, creativity, and collaboration.

🌿 A Few Highlights:

• Jo arranging cushions with the precision of a gallery curator

• Francesca mid-laugh while holding a sample board of paint chips

• Warm neutral tones, beautiful lighting, and just the right amount of greenery

• A little coffee break in a staged kitchen setup—because let’s be real, that’s where all the best ideas happen

  
  

Working with Jo and Francesca felt like collaborating with two old friends—who just so happen to have impeccable taste. Their passion for interiors shines through in every room they stage, and now, in every photo we took.
