Brand Photography
Aligned Brand Photography
Hello there!
Brand photography is a very important part of your overall brand credibility and differentiation - especially for service-based businesses. However, my approach isn't just about making you look polished and credible. It's about capturing your personality, energy, and authority on camera, and looking like you - in harmony and alignment with everything else about your brand.
It’s not about creating a different persona that looks and feels a million miles away from who you are in real life.
I want you to feel completely at ease and be your truest self. We will have done much of the brand groundwork together when we meet for the photography shoot; I will already know your brand - your vision, your values, your audience, your unique personality. The direction happens naturally, and feels right. It’s a fun experience, believe it or not!
Your photos and brand will speak the same language, because they’ve all come from the same set of focussed conversations. And, of course, you will now have a large selection of high quality images to choose from for headshots, social media, your website, presentations, magazine articles, collaborations, and more, for many years to come. Goodbye to clichéd stock photos and awkward selfie headshots!
Holistic Brand Process
My brand process is built in overlapping layers, which I’ve fine-tuned through over many years, working with different clients and businesses.
For more established businesses, my brand strategy process includes speaking directly with your clients - to fully understand how your brand is experienced from the outside, in. My research delivers unique insights into your audience what resonates with them.
If you are earlier in your business and don't have clients yet, we work from the brand strategy foundations we build together.
Clients have described my branding process as holistic, a 360 degree care package! This is exactly what I aim for, a validating, grounded brand, built around who you are. Strategy, research, design, photography: each layer informs the next, with each element of your brand aligned in the same direction.
Brand photography is available separately or as part of a full branding project. Please get in touch and we'll talk through what would suit you best.

Ps. What I will never do, is push you somewhere that feels uncomfortable. My direction is informed by insight, but always guided by what feels right for you. Our goal is images that feel genuinely like you - not a ‘version’ performing for a camera. Clients tell me the process feels relaxed and enjoyable, and that their photos feel like them.
