Are you ready to connect with your audience?

It’s far too easy to hide behind a brand name, but trust me, building the personal side of your brand is going to benefit your business in ways you’ve never imagined. People buy from brands they can relate to so showing up (yep, your face - eek!) is a truly powerful way to reach your target audience.

A personal branding session is the perfect way to capture the soul and personality behind your brand. I’m talking relaxed, happy, authentic images that showcase what you are about.

Sessions with me are relaxed and fun, as we work together to make magic. I genuinely love working with like minded entrepreneurs, creatives and small business owners and can’t wait to connect with you!

“You were able to craft a series of photographs that embody so much more than just my physical appearance, but my passion, my values, and the heart of who I am. I am deeply grateful for your calm, sweet energy, and your ability to create such a safe and empowering environment. You. Are. Magic.”

Let’s get together, have some fun and capture the essence of you, your brand and what you are passionate about.

    • Environmental portraits with a natural, editorial vibe showcasing the personality behind your brand. They can be taken in your workspace, a hired studio/house or outside at the beach, park or urban area.

    • Working shots of you ‘in action’ e.g working on a client, preparing food, at your desk, packaging products, painting etc.
