PErsonal branding must have images

Say Hello!

I'd love to hear from you!
if you have a question or need more information just drop me a line.

There’s a part of my work that genuinely lights me up – and it might surprise you that it’s not just the time spent behind the camera.

I love the planning phase.

When I’m pulling together personal brand shoot days for my clients, I get to put my planning hat on in a big way – thinking through locations, flow, timing, light, energy, and how to make the whole experience feel seamless for everyone involved. There’s something about that blend of creativity and logistics that gives me so much energy.

Don’t get me wrong – by the end of days like these, I am absolutely cooked.

But it’s the good kind of tired. The kind that comes from being the stage manager all day – holding everything together behind the scenes so your clients can simply step into the spotlight.

Why Shoot Days Work So Well

Lifestyle personal branding shoots are wonderfully individual – but they can also come with a lot of moving parts.

If a client doesn’t already have access to a suitable space, we’re often looking at hiring a location, which adds cost and complexity.

Shoot days simplify that.

By photographing multiple clients at the same carefully chosen location, I’m able to absorb the cost of hiring a beautiful, light-filled home and streamline the logistics – and pass that value directly on to my clients.

You get access to a premium location, without having to organise or manage it yourself.

Will My Photos Look the Same as Everyone Else’s?

Short answer: no.

Even though we’re shooting at the same location, every client’s session is planned around their brand, business, and marketing needs.

Before the shoot, we always have a Visual Brand planning session where we:

  • identify the types of images you need
  • clarify how you’ll use them (website, socials, marketing)
  • define your style and brand feel
  • and plan any props, products and wardrobe to bring

This planning alone ensures your images are completely unique.

On the day, I also use different areas of the home, varied angles, and small styling shifts so no two galleries ever feel the same.

A supported, Low-Pressure Experience

Hair and makeup is organised for you, so all you need to do is arrive, sit down, and ease into the day.

From there, I guide you through the shoot – posing, movement, and expression – so you’re never left wondering what to do.

You don’t need to manage logistics or overthink the details.

I take care of the paddling – you get to glide.

A Calm Reset for Your Brand Visuals

If summer felt like a pause, shoot days are a gentle way to step back into visibility.

They’re designed to give you:

  • a fresh, versatile library of brand images
  • a smoother, more supported experience
  • and photos that actually work for your business

If this feels like the right kind of reset, you can register your interest below for upcoming Personal Brand Shoot Days.
