What experience do you have in Personal Branding Photography?
Tried and tested, this method works.
How many times have you received a bunch of photos to only really use a handful? I’ve seen it often, not delivering the photos you actually need to promote your personal brand and business. Too many similar images, quantity over quality approach.
During a personal branding shoot, we get creative but we also get exactly what you need.
My process for personal branding has been formed through my experience of service in marketing, branding and design and specifically working with many women in entrepreneurship. You need photos that get attention, are professional and visually speak to your clients.
I value your time and mine.
How is Personal Branding Photography different from a Headshot?
Headshots are an introduction to you. When you first meet someone, you can get an idea of who they may be but you need to get into a deeper conversation to know exactly what this person is about their personality and their values.
Personal Branding does that. It’s an instant, deeper conversation with prospective clients, an indication of why they may be attracted to you.
It gives clients an immediate look at who you are at a deeper level and how you work.
Think of it as your attractor vibe.
What do I wear?
We will plan your wardrobe to be exactly what you look and feel great in. Your favourite styles are usually a good place to start. Pick out what you feel most comfortable in, and we work it out from there.
I have a wardrobe guidebook and Pinterest boards to help give you ideas too. You will go into the shoot feeling great and confident about what you’re wearing.
You also may have the option to add a stylist to help you through the process if it’s just not your thing. I’ve been known to find the perfect pieces for some clients who are looking to get out of the box.
Who does hair and makeup?
I work with the best hair and makeup people in the industry. Experienced in working in photography and getting the look you want.
From glamorous to natural, your makeup artist will discuss the goals and get you the desired look.
Hair will also be included and a stylist on site so you can feel confident everything is well taken care of.
Do you use photoshop?
My belief in Personal Branding is to enhance what you have naturally without using much Photoshop.
There are other instances where my goal is a creative portrait vibe and I will use obvious Photoshop. In Personal Branding, I will retouch anything like cuts, blemishes and uneven skin tones, but most are done with great lighting and great preparation (makeup).
I do use signature colour toning in my photography, and you will notice this in the final images. This is part of my art and I see it as an extension to my camera.
I am horrified and feel awkward having my photo taken.
This is totally normal, and that feeling releases when you have your photos taken by a great photographer.
If you’re feeling nervous no problem, I know how to work with that. I will guide you through a flow of poses and your session will be very comfortable and actually, you may just have a great experience and lots of fun.
How do I book?
Booking starts with a discovery call. Once we get on a call you and I can get a better idea of your hopes and goals, so we can see if this is a good fit. We will find a date for your shoot and book your shoot for the day discussed.
Most shoots are booked on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. You can plan this around your events so you can look great and polished for networking, client meetings or just a night out. Saturday shoots are a special request.
