It's photography for small businesses owners and solo entrepreneurs, with a strong focus on storytelling. The images from a personal branding session will not only show the face behind the brand, but also your personality, style and your passions. In addition to that, it'll show more about your business - with behind the scenes shots, your products and/or services in use, your team (if you have one), your brand's aesthetic and it's overall vibe. All of this helps your audience know, like and trust you, meaning they're far more likely to buy from you.

The times they are a-chagin'. In today’s image-driven world, being your own brand is likely to bring you more success, than staying in the shadows. Seeing more of you and your business helps to build trust, which leads to increased conversions. From the first impressions on an about page, to the post on Instagram - the images you put out are the first touchpoint for any online interaction. They need to be high-end, professional and get your message across in a split second. (1/10th of a second to be precise!)

I mean, a selfie is probably better than nothing! But if you want to be taken seriously and come across as the authority in your niche, then professional and high-end imagery is the way to go. Remember, it's not just about the higher picture quality, it's about having a photographer who can actually tell your brand story, make you look and feel great, guide and direct you and bring your brand vision to life. Plus, coming from a photographer who has tried just taking self-portraits - it's a hell of a lot quicker and easier to hire someone to do it for you!

We can find a location that's on-brand and represents you. It may be outside, at a hotel, a restaurant, a museum, an art gallery or a shop. Think outside the box! Or you could hire somewhere like a home, venue or studio. I can help you with finding the perfect spot.

You can pretty much use the photos however ya like. They're often used for your website, social media, advertising, press, book covers and marketing materials. The only thing you can't do, is sell your images. I retain copyright of the images, which is standard in the industry.

Your images will be ready to download after a maximum of 20 working days. Usually it's far less than that, but I like to give myself a little buffer, just in case my computer spontaneously combusts or something.

Firstly, I feel ya. As someone who emulates Chandler from F.R.I.E.N.D.S when a camera is pointed in my direction, I know how scary and uncomfortable it can feel. But panic not - awkward people are my speciality! As you'll see from my portfolio, everyone looks happy and relaxed - yet they were all super nervous to begin with. It's totally normal. You've just gotta trust me when I say that I can get great photos out of even the most camera shy of people! Just check my 'Reviews' story highlight on Instagram for proof!

It depends on you and your brand and business. But, as a general rule of thumb, I suggest a casual outfit, a smart-casual outfit and a smart outfit. The more outfit combos, the better. We want lots of varied content. Think about your audience and the message you want to put across. You'll notice that most of my clients are big fans of timeless, neutral outfits - but if your brand is bold, bright and colourful, then you may want to wear colours that reflect that.

Yes and yes! You'll be sent an online gallery (the images will have a watermark initially), from there you can select your included images, and choose to purchase any more if you wish.

I suggest booking in your shoot at least a month in advance. This gives us both enough time to brainstorm and organise the perfect shoot. I can do shoots at shorter notice if needed, just bear in mind that I can get booked anywhere up to 6 months in advance.

Planning is key! Together, we will come up with a shot list, props list, outfit options and location ideas. I have this all in writing which I bring along to our shoot. This means we won't forget anything and can quickly move from one thing to the next. I'm also very intentional with my shooting, meaning I don't spend ages getting just the one shot.

Yes, the photos are all edited in my signature style. I include basic spot removal, subtle skin smoothing, eye sharpening and brightening and teeth whitening. I also remove small distracting elements, like plug sockets, light switches and wires etc. Digital manipulation is available at an extra cost, if needed.

Yes, you'll receive your images in low resolution (which work best for your social media and website) and high resolution (best for printing).

You don't have to, but it means an awful lot to me when you do! I get all of my business this way, so if someone books me thanks to you, you'll get money off your next shoot with me.

Simply send me an enquiry on my 'Book Now' page. A 25% deposit and a signed contract secures your date and booking. The remaining balance is due on the day of the shoot.

Head to my 'Book Now' page and send me a message, so we can have a chat and get you booked in.
