Personal Branding Photography That Actually Feels Like You
Let’s be honest: stiff headshots on grey backdrops don’t really cut it anymore. These days, personal branding photography is about showing people who you are, not just what you do.
Whether you’re a creative, a coach, a small business owner or a founder launching something bold into the world, your brand is more than your logo - it’s your story. And strong visuals can help you tell it with personality, warmth and clarity.
So… What Is Personal Branding Photography?
In a nutshell: it’s photography that captures the heart of your brand.
Not just “professional” photos, but ones that feel approachable, confident and unmistakably you. The kind of images you’ll actually want to use on your website, socials, newsletters, business cards, hell maybe even your dating profile!
It might include:
Portraits with personality (and no weird arm folding - well maybe sometimes)
Behind-the-scenes or workspace vibes
You doing your thing - creating, meeting, planning, thinking
Details that tell a bigger story (your favourite coffee mug, messy desk, tools of your trade)
Why It Matters More Than Ever
People connect with people. Before they read your about page, they’re probably going to scroll through your photos. And in a noisy online world, showing up as yourself can be a major advantage.
The right imagery helps you:
Build trust with your audience
Look polished but real (not overproduced or overposed)
Communicate your values, energy, and personality
Elevate your brand presence across all platforms
Whether you’re just starting out or refreshing an existing brand, custom photography helps you stop blending in and start showing up with confidence.
What a Session Looks Like with Me
I like to keep things relaxed, collaborative, and (dare I say it) even fun. You don’t need to know how to pose or be “camera-ready” - that’s my job.
Sessions typically run for 2–3 hours and can include:
Multiple outfits
Different locations (your workspace, a favourite café, a local park, whatever tells your story)
A mix of portraits, action shots, flatlays, and candid in-between moments
And you’ll walk away with a gallery of high-resolution images that feel like you on your best day: natural, approachable, professional, and proud.
