You are connecting with your audience and that is done with telling stories that your audience and potential buyers can connect with. People don't buy products they buy stories. They buy "who" rather than "what"
The reality is that you have a few seconds to set yourself apart from the rest, I help creatives, entrepreneurs and businesses tell their story. Your visuals sell and connect faster than text.
In a nutshell branding photography goes deeper then a headshot . Its the visual communication of your brand. Its being intentional and planning your shoot to tell your message. Your branding session with me includes a consult and visual planning and shot list to ensure we get it all and you have content that is aligned with who you are AND that speaks to your audience. Lets capture the essence of your brand - not just what you do but who you are and what you want your audience to feel when they land on your socials, your website or a launch. This will be your visual toolkit
It's for anyone who
- is the face of their business
- for anyone wanting a cohesive consistent feel throughout socials and online presence
-anyone who knows that t their audience wants a genuine connection with their brand
- knows their brand ( personal or product ) needs a personality and story
- You're tired of using general stock photos, poor quality selfies
- You're a maker. artist, creative, consultant, small business owner, coach , influencer
- want consistent content for months (possibly years ) after your shoot)
- Catalogue and creative product photography
-Headshots or team headshots
- Lifestyle branding photography
- content creation
I offer both types of shoots. The main difference is intent . A basic headshot has the purpose of showing what you ( or your team) look look like. A lot less planning is involved. A brand shoot is a whole lot MORE than that what you look like, we go into your brand , who you are and who you want to speak to , how you want your audience to feel when they encounter your brand. It is intentionally setting you apart from your competitors and making your brand memorable. We plan moodboards aligned with the feeling of your brand. The purpose is also content that you can use for months ( and some cases years) its an investment in your brand.
It is the visual story of your business that connects you to your audience , its the cherry on top of all your marketing efforts. People can tell when you have used stock imagery vs a thoughtful intentional image that conveys YOUR unique identity and value. People connect with visuals before words- especially online. Quality branding photography helps build trust with your audience and connects you with them as well as create a consistent identity online ( which again builds more trust and makes you easily and immediately identifiable)
Because we are making imagery about your business ( not just what you do ) you will have bank of ready to use images from our shoot. It saves you time, elevates your brand , is content for all your socials , it creates elevated consistency across all platforms ( instagram/ tik tok /pinterest or wherever your audience is .
I do not have a studio of my own , but rather there are plenty of locations across gold coast and northern rivers that would showcase any brand story beautifully. I can help source a studio OR location or perhaps your business is a location you wan to promote. Some locations may attract costs on top of mine. Each business is different, lets make yours shine.
You are not alone , most people feel this way and I totally get it. That's why my sessions are relaxed , low pressure- more of a conversation feel , Ill help you feel comfortable with no stiff poses or forced smiles. Its what I do and I love it when my clients happily proclaim that our time together did NOT feel like a shoot . I'll guide you before and on shoot to look and feel your best - lets flip your mindset to , this isn't modelling but storytelling and shouting your brand out to the world who needs to meet you. There are brands who are faceless - if its possible lets talk through your options, my goal is authenticity and connection every time.
