Are you a small business owner/entrepreneur who wants to up scale your marketing?
Do you want to come across to your audience as memorable, personable, and relatable?
It is as simple as planning a two hour photoshoot and it do wonders for your marketing! If you haven’t already guessed, I’m talking about photos of YOU, through the surprising fun experience of a branding lifestyle photoshoot!
Branding photos help to create that connection between you and your clients. It’s all about human connection and your customers and clients want to get to know you, the person / people behind the brand, your “why”, what you do on Saturdays and all of those behind the scenes moments. When we feel like we’re supporting someone we know, buying is easier. Don’t you agree?
Professional photos play a big part in earning your potential clients and customers trust, especially in the online digital age that we’re in. Your website and social media photos are essentially your business’ first impression online, almost like your resume is in a job hiring process.
Think of all the brands that you love and follow (big, small and local) and imagine if they had poor quality, poorly lit, cellphone photos on their website and social media? Would you take them seriously? Would you be willing to pay top dollar for their products or services?
When your online presence including your photos makes clients feel like you’re a professional and that they can trust you, you can also start charging more! Imagine if you did this from the beginning of owning your business?
I have worked with many brands in the past and I can say for a fact that those who started their business using only professional photos reached a higher success, faster than those who didn’t. It’s a fact.
Why you should do Branding Lifestyle photoshoot?
I love meeting entrepreneurs (especially woman) all over the city and helping them update their branding photography. Everyone deserves to have beautiful, modern, fresh portraits of themselves and the creative work that they do!
I thought it would be helpful to show you my Portraits and Branding photography process! I’m going to take you behind the scenes of a shoot of a client of mine
Dr Simone Silver and her business Hormonal Health & Wellness Centre.
Her areas of particular medical interest are Hormonal Imbalances across all ages, particularly in women, Menopausal Health, Chronic stress and Burnout management.
When she is not consulting or teaching, she can be found playing in the garden with her 3 small children and 2 dogs. She is an amazing Doctor, Mom, Wife and business woman!
