Personal Branding Photography Session: Felicity Kay
Felicity reached out to me a few weeks ago to book a personal branding session and after our discovery call, I knew we were a perfect fit…
How does your brand make people feel?
How does your brand make people feel? How does your brand make people feel? So there's something I want to clarify about when it comes to investing money in a product. Very often we will look at a price of something and say, “I can't afford that”, when (as my friend...
I look like a twit in photos!!
Here’s a question that I posed to my Facebook audience a while back: ”What are some beliefs that you have about photo sessions that might stop you from considering booking one?" And here is one of the answers I got: “I look like a twit in photos!” Do you know what?...
What is your brand identity?
Spoiler – and you may have heard this before – it is not your logo.
Your brand identity consistently dictates everything about your business, from the feel of your logo(yes, it is still important in the whole picture), to the way you write your advertising copy. It comes across in your discovery calls, the way you package your products and how you handle complaints from clients. It’s your voice, your value, your vibe, your visuals your…other words with a v? It’s how you make people feel, every time they experience you…

The Power of Nice
We have grown up with the message that ‘it’s a dog eat dog world out there’ ; how beautiful it is to realise that more & more businesses are learning that in order to get ahead, you don’t have to trample on other’s backs but rather lend them a hand to help them up.
“ How do I decide what kind of pictures I want for our photo session”
First of all, I just want to start by saying that making the decision to book a session is a pretty big deal; I realize that many of you enter into it with a certain amount of nerves and ‘what on earth am I doing?’. You are not alone & HONESTLY, I understand what...
Sarah’s 5 Psychological Stages of a Branding Photography Session
Stages of a Branding Photography Session Stages of a Branding Photography Session Stages of a Branding Photography Session During my initial chat with my clients, I wait for the line. It’s always there. It goes something like this: “I am not photogenic and never look...
“I don’t like my smile – do I have to smile for photos?”
My answer to this frequently asked question:
Firstly, I hear you. I have a squiggle that appears under my nose when I smile (see attached photo.) I used to be so self-conscious about it that I never wanted to smile for photos, and when I laughed, I used to cover my mouth (I still do that from time to time, out of habit)
And then I mentioned my squiggle to a bunch of friends at a party & they were all confused “your what?!” They had no clue what I meant. Then I pointed to it, they all said “Oh right, yeah” and then we moved on (apart from one friend who still makes fun of it..you know who you are 🤣)
I’m saying this in the hope that maybe you’ll allow yourself to release this/let it go next time you’re having your photos taken. It’s hard not to judge ourselves, pick ourselves to pieces, but if you need to have photos taken, how much nicer would it be if you could just try something different & go easier on yourself?
“How do you put your clients at ease? I’d be a nervous wreck”
How do you put your clients at ease? How do you put your clients at ease? How do you put your clients at ease? My answer: So much of what I do and say — before and during our photo session — is geared towards making you feel at ease. Because once we have that ease,...
