Your brand photographs are one of your hardest working sales tools
Let's make them work hard for you
When you’re just starting out in business, or even if you’re in year 2 or 3, finding images to share on socials and for your website can be such a struggle (not to mention editorial features, oh the stress!). A real pain in the behind that takes so much time. I know, I’ve been there too, even as a photographer! It’s easy to think ‘this will do for now, something is better than nothing’.
Brand photography is so much more than pretty pictures. It’s visual positioning for your brand; photography that communicates the heart of who you are, your values, how you work, and the passion you have for it. Photography that enables your customers to see and perceive your brand as trustworthy, genuine and professional. It’s what sparks connection and makes them think ‘this person is speaking to me, I want to know more’.
This is where I can help you!
Working together in a collaborative approach, I’ll get to know you and your business so I can create a plan for your brand photography session that enables you to feel fully prepared, excited and resulting in visuals that you’re proud & confident to share.
What brand photography can do for you
People buy from people they believe in
Trust is built long before someone gets in touch. When your visuals are professional, cohesive, and authentic, potential clients feel confident they’re in safe hands, and that confidence is what turns interest into a following and into an enquiry.
Promotes connection & engagement
When people can see you; your personality, your workspace, the way you work, they’re far more likely to reach out. Familiarity builds trust, and trust leads to sales. Well-captured brand photography can grab attention, stop the scroll, and encourage engagement on social media and websites.
Helps you stand out
Brand photography that’s distinctive and true to you makes it instantly clear why you’re different, and why you’re the right choice for the clients you most want to attract. When customers see bespoke, storytelling photographs of your business, it can help you differentiate your brand by showcasing your unique selling points.
Your visuals tell your story
Every colour, texture, and setting in your photos communicates something about who you are and how you work. Intentionally crafted brand photography makes sure that story is the right one; consistent, considered, and absolutely you. A strong visual identity means people start to recognise your business on sight.
What changes after your session...
You may book a brand photography session because you have specific marketing or business goals that you need images for. Or you may book a session because you know you need your own photographs but you’ve no idea what you’ll use them for, other than ‘marketing’. Understanding your business and giving some guidance is where I can help you! So, here are some pretty big things you may tick off your to-do list after your shoot…
Your website gets finished
Yes, the never-ending pain that’s been half-done, untouched for months because nothing felt quite right. Or, you’ve resisted finding a designer/developer because you don’t have suitable images. Now, you update that old site, or build a whole new one and show off what you do!
You stop avoiding opportunities
You don’t just stop avoiding opportunities, you actively go looking for them. The press feature, the speaking gig, the podcast pitch. The ones you quietly decided you couldn’t go for. Now you can.
You show up, confidently
After the thoughtful planning and the fun of shoot day, you now have images that feel like you, that you’re proud and confident to share. They’re not all of your face either, you have your own bank of personal ‘stock’ images you can share so your social profiles have variety, interest and specific meaning.
You look like the business you've built
Your visual presence finally matches how you feel inside and what your clients experience. Now it’s time to soar.
Things you don't need to worry about...
Not knowing how to pose – don’t worry, stiff posing is not my thing! I want you to feel relaxed and look natural so I will gently guide you into flattering, natural, poses during the shoot.
Being awkward in front of the camera or feeling ‘unphotogenic’ – 99% of my clients feel this way! And they all say I made them feel relaxed and they actually enjoyed their session.
What to wear – before the shoot you’ll get my comprehensive preparation guide with clothing tips.
Finding a location for the shoot – I will work with you to find the perfect shoot venue for you. I also have a gorgeous garden studio at my home in North Yorkshire to make your life easy!
Here's what the process looks like
Every brand photography session is different so each one is tailored to what the business needs. My aim is to be as supportive as you need me to be so if you need to review your brands visual elements and messaging before planning your session I can help with that.
However, if you are really clear on what you need and have even started curating a shot list, that’s great too! Each of my packages includes the below features.
Brand Questionnaire
Our true first step is a chat to see if we're right for each other. Once you're on board I send you my brand questionnaire to fill in over a cuppa. It's designed to inform me all about you, your brand and what you want to achieve from the shoot.
Clarity Call
Your questionnaire will guide us through the planning process. Once I've sent your tailored session plan, we’ll have one or more in-depth calls to ensure all the details are sorted before your shoot day. I want you to feel prepared, supported and excited for your session!
Shoot Day
The fun part! We spend a creative few hours together capturing the magic of you and your brand. The shoot plan helps us keep on track for the day so we capture the required images while leaving room for creativity.
Your Gallery
I am to deliver your gallery in about 2 weeks. It's time to get excited about using your new images! You'll receive an email with link and passcode so you can login and download your high and low resolution images.
Choose Your Adventure
Below are my most popular brand photography session options and can be held at your workplace, my studio, outdoors, a hired venue, or a mixture (excluding the mini session session). If these options don’t suit you we can create a bespoke package for you, just ask! With each package you will receive your photos within approx. 2 weeks.
