WHY DO YOU NEED BRANDING?

Have you ever wondered what the meaning of a brand image holds? It may just seem like a few shots of your face or products, but it is so much more than that. Branding and photography work so well together, because they create your customer journey. 

If you're tired of the same old boring headshots, it's time to shake things up and move beyond the standard. Brand photography is all about capturing the essence of your business and showcasing your unique personality.

So why settle for cookie-cutter shots when you can have something that truly reflects who you are?

No Boring Standard Headshots 

Moving beyond standard headshots means getting creative and injecting personality into your images. It's about capturing the vibrancy and energy of your brand in every image. 

Think outside the box and consider the story you want to tell with your brand photography. What sets you apart from the competition? What makes you unique? These are the elements that should shine through in your images.

And remember, it's not just about you – it's about connecting with your audience and giving them a glimpse into the heart and soul of your brand.

Photography for Retreats and Workshops Abroad

If you're planning a retreat or workshop overseas, why not take the opportunity to capture the magic and beauty of your experience with professional photography?

I love capturing retreats and workshops abroad or UK based. Imagine having stunning images of your participants engaging in activities, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes or vibrant cityscapes. These photos not only serve as beautiful memories for your participants but also as powerful marketing tools for future events.

I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with photographing retreats and workshops overseas. I know how to capture the essence of your event while highlighting the beauty of the location. Whether you're hosting a wellness retreat in Bali, a creative workshop in Tuscany, or a team-building retreat in the Scottish Highlands, I can join the adventure to create stunning images that truly reflect the spirit of your event.

From sunrise yoga sessions on the beach to interactive group activities in picturesque settings, I will be there to capture every special moment. I use a combination of candid shots and posed portraits to tell the story of your retreat or workshop in a compelling and authentic way.

how it works

First, we will have a chat to find out as much as possible about you and your business, what you want to convey in your images. Then we’ll discuss possible locations that will help us achieve telling your brand’s story. I shoot in a lot of different parts of London, from Shoreditch to Southbank as well as Notting Hill, King’s Cross and many more, but if you already have somewhere in mind or you want to do your personal brand shoot at your home or office - I’m happy to discuss how we can make that happen.

My aim is to make our photo session as relaxed and fun as possible, it’s a save space. We will chat, walk around the area and take some awesome images. There won’t be any awkward model posing or me shouting directions at you. This is all about you being you, with me there as your guide to get some stunning images filled with personality. If you brought along different outfits we usually go to a cafe/bar/hotel to do these changes, but you can also plan some on-the-spot changes by bringing different jackets or wearing a basic vest top underneath.

A few days after our photo session you will receive the viewing gallery consisting of a low-resolution preselection from where you can pick your favourites and choose any extra images you wish me to edit in my unique style as seen across my website and social media. After that you will receive the final selection within 7-10 working days, ready to use the photos to promote and grow your business.

Personal BRANDING packages

 
 

Full DAY PACKAGE

For £995

  • This covers a lot of the basics on how to prepare for your photoshoot, what to wear and what to bring along.

  • We will be having an in-depth planning session via phone or Zoom after I send you a branding questionnaire to find out more about you, your business and what you want to achieve from your shoot.

  • Using the notes from our planning session, I'll create a rough plan for our personal brand shoot, including location details, an estimated timeline and any key shots we've discussed.

    This is more a guide than fixed in stone as I like to give our collaboration some room to flourish and get creative.

  • Travel within London Zones 1-3 is included, further travel is possible, we just need to work out costs.

  • We will be spending 5 hours together to create photos that capture your personality and work authentically. During our photo session, we can do anything from taking beautiful portraits, which go beyond simple headshots to photographing you at work, creating your products, meeting with clients or showcasing the finished products as well as flatlays.

    Don’t worry the camera won’t be in your face the whole time and contrary to believe, it doesn’t bite either. We will go through your shoot plan before we start and make sure we don’t forget any important shots. We can take breaks if you need a breather and I’m likely to take some still and detail shots that don’t necessarily have to have you or your face in it.

  • Within a week of our brand shoot you will receive a preview of 30-40 images as well as the unedited, low-res preselection from which you can choose your favourite images to be edited in my unique style.

  • After you receive the sneak peek and the unedited preselection I will wait for you to select your favourite photos. It will then take around 7-10 working days to deliver your final edited gallery.

    If you’d prefer me to do the final selection instead, just let me know and I will choose the 200 images you will receive once I edited them.

  • I know it can be overwhelming after you receive your gallery. Where to start beyond updating your profile pictures across all platforms?

    A lot of my clients already work with a brand or web designer as well, but I’m happy to help you get started using your new, awesome visual content to grow your brand awareness.

  • I will be writing a blog post about you and your business on this site to tell people how great you are. It will include links to your website and social media, which will be helpful with your SEO. The post will also be shared across my social media channels.

This is the first time I have had brand photography done for my business and I could not be more pleased with the final outcome! Nicole was professional, warm and approachable which put me at ease, especially during the shoot as I was a little nervous. Her process is super organised, communication was impeccable and the photos she captured were exactly what I was looking for. I would not hesitate to use her again if I need photography services in the future. Thank you so much Nicole!
