Can I let you in on a little secret?
Coaches, entrepreneurs, speakers, authors and thought leaders come to me for beautiful marketing photos.
But the thing they all talk about is how their photo shoot experience with me made them feel.
They use words like: open, passionate, connected.
Liberated. Confident. Present.
Many also say that the experience of having me take their picture actually changed the way they see themselves. I think it’s because when someone is in front of my camera, I see how beautiful they are, and what makes them unique.
When someone looks at you with that deep acceptance and reverence, how can that not move you?
What is Personal Brand Photography?
Personal Brand Photography is telling the story of your brand through magazine-quality photos.
And it’s also creating a photo shoot experience where you feel really good in your skin, and at home in front of my camera.
Because when I’m taking pictures of you feeling good, it makes the people who look at your photos feel good, too.
When is it a good idea to invest in Personal Brand Photography?
I photograph entrepreneurs, coaches, and public figures who want beautiful photos for their website, social media platforms, PR and other marketing collateral.
Some of my clients are movers and shakers who always need more photos.
Others have a key project – a book launch, the rollout of a new program, a rebrand – that’s driving their desire to have their picture taken.
Others work with me because they want beautiful photos for their website or social media… and they want to other people to look at those photos and feel really, really good.
What’s included in a Personal Brand Photography photo shoot?
My job is to make sure you have a photo shoot experience that makes you feel really good – beautiful, confident, and present in your body – so I can capture that emotion on camera and deliver great photos that convey the feeling and story of your brand.
All photoshoots are half or full day experiences, shot on location or in a professional studio, somewhere in the world where you and I both want to be (think San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Florence…).
Let’s say every time to see a macaroon, your heart skips a beat and you think “oh Paris, how I love you.” You and me should make a rendezvous for Paris asap. Champagne, chandeliers, croissant and coffee included.
Or maybe your work is about slowing down and recognizing the sacred in the everyday – let’s go on your front porch in the afternoon when the sun begins to set, illuminating you and your dog in a golden glow… her licking your toes and you laughing…
You get the idea!
The point is, this is a custom-tailored experience, designed with one goal: get you comfortable, relaxed and being yourself in front of my camera, so I can capture what makes you unique. (If you don’t like having your picture taken, that’s okay. Many of my clients have told me that their photo shoot experience with me was the first time they ever felt like themselves in front of the camera. I’ve got your back!)
