Personal Branding Sessions

It’s all about you!

WHAT IS

Personal Branding?

Your personal brand is all about you as a business – a combination of your skills, values, experience and other factors that make you unique. A personal branding shoot will help to draw out these unique features, stand out from the crowd and create imagery to help connect with your ideal clients and build trust, loyalty and value. 

A personal brand shoot is a step further than a headshot session.  It seeks to show your customer who you are are.  It may include your processes, your place of work, what you do and how you do it and most importantly why.  All excellent talking points for website and socials.

These sessions are for anyone who runs their own business such as business coaches, finances services, councillors, acupuncturists, yoga instructors, authors, copywriters, web designers, architects… the list goes on.  Basically anyone who wants to connect with their ideal customer. For creatives who make things for a business you may want to consider our artisan sessions. 

This is for you

if…

  • You are ready to up your game and start to tell your brand story so you can attract your ideal clients.  
  • Your personality is an important part of your brand and is your biggest asset.  Despite your camera shyness you know you need to show people who you are and how you’re different.  You just need your photo shoot to be gentle on you.  You have never done this before.
  • You are a new business and you want to hit the ground running with professional marketing that shows you’re serious.
  • You are an established business needing to step away from stock photography and build an image bank to help you write posts and up your social media game.

But

what if…

  • You’re terrified of the camera. Yes you’re proud to be the face behind the business but you’d rather not show your face. (Even though you know you need to).
  • Previous shoots have been expensive and ill thought out resulting in images that don’t really work in the spaces that you need to fill.  This has put you off investing in photo shoots.

I’m here to get you and your business visible.  As a small business owner I understand the work and effort that goes into creating your business. And, as a camera-shy person, it is my mission to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

With my branding packages you will have a bank of beautiful, professional and well thought out images that tell your story and capture your love for your job and why you do it. From a personal consultation, to a photoshoot day that is bespoke to you, I am here to guide you through the process of creating artistic images that elevate your brand and show the hard work and passion behind it. When you see the photos, you will be so proud of yourself—and the business you’ve created.

How Does It Work?

STEP 1: INITIAL CONSULTATION

Designed to help me understand your brand, the quality of your product or service and you, the person behind it. This is imperative to ensure we get the best from your session and your hard earned budget.  We select the best brand package and shoot length to suit you and your needs. 

STEP 2: SHOOT PLANNING

You will receive a beautiful and detailed pdf guide on how to prepare for your session with lots of help and ideas on developing exactly what you need to photograph, format of images, locations, props, clothes etc. 

 STEP 3: PRE SHOOT CONSULTATION CALL

Once you have gone through the shoot preparation guide we’ll hop on a call and create a detailed shoot planner based on what you need and outlining timings, outfits, props, locations etc. 

 

STEP 4: SHOOT DAY!

Having done all the preparation beforehand today will be a relaxed shoot where you just get on with being you, and I’ll capture the beauty of what you do for your customers.

 STEP 5: GALLERY 

You will receive a link to a full gallery of images with as much variety as possible for you to choose your final package images. 

 STEP 6: IMAGE DELIVERY

Once you have chosen your final images from your gallery they will all undergo a detailed edit and you will receive a set of high and low resolution images ready to use for your marketing

FAQs

Can you travel to me?

Yes, travel is included up to 20 miles away from where I’m based in Exeter. After that, I’m happy to travel for a mileage fee of £0.5/ mile each way.

What about product photography?
I have a home studio set up where I carry out product shoots – ideal for where you need to shoot multiple products for a catalogue (to provide consistency) or where flat lays are needed. For ultimate flexibility I’m able to accept products by courier, photograph them (after a detailed consultation on requirements) and then courier them back to you.
When should I book my shoot?

Any time you want to update your images!  Some take the opportunity to when branding or rebranding – and ideally, after your colours and styles have been decided but before your website has been designed.

Why have a brand shoot?
A brand shoot is a creative way to educate your audience about what you do. It tells your unique story to your dream customers—the customers who see the value in what you offer, the care and attention that goes into your product, and the person who you are. It’s the opposite to generic stock photography that you can find online—it’s all about you and your brand.
Why have a rebrand?
A rebrand allows you to look closely at your values, mission and vision. It will mean that your business is closely aligned with you, which is incredibly compelling to people when they are choosing who they want to buy from. Recent marketing trends are showing that people want to see authenticity and the human behind the business—and are more likely to buy when they feel connected to the brand.

 

 

Do you do retouching in photoshop?

I carry out a basic edit for all my images.  I do not do body reshaping or skin smoothing. 

 

Do you help choosing locations?

Yes I can make some suggestions for locations. 

What is your lead in time and how quickly can I expect my images after the shoot?

Lead in times depend largely on current workload.  If you require a quick turnaround time please do ask and I will do my best to fit in around it. 

How many outfits are included?
