Personal Branding Photography

Gold Coast Personal Branding Photographer

There are a variety of personal branding packages available depending upon your needs.

Before we get together for the photo shoot, we will sit down and have a chat to explore your background, business and brand.

During the shoot I will draw upon my +8 years as a photographer to gently guide you through a variety of poses and expressions to evoke natural images that represent you and your brand.

Afterward, you will walk away from your photo shoot feeling inspired and confident to post!

Frequently Asked Questions - Personal Branding


What should I wear to my session?

My style of photography favours more neutral and jewel colours as I find these best match most skin tones. I also suggest to find outfits that avoid heavy patterns or bold logos. I encourage you to choose colours that reflect your business and brand. Also see this post:https://www.novasoma.com/blog/2020/4/9/what-to-wear-for-a-professional-portrait

If you would like further wardrobe assistance, I also work with a wonderful personal branding expert who provides an excellence service with colouring and styling. Let me know if you would be interested and I will be happy to broker a personal introduction.

What can I expect from this session?

Expect to be fully guided and posed during our session together. I believe that this is part of my job to make you feel comfortable and to guide you how to look your best. I’m here to help you!

What location should I choose?

This really depends on your business and brand image you are hoping to create. Depending on the available space and lighting,  I am happy to come and set up and shoot at your home / office / other location. Alternatively, I can suggest several affordable location and studio spaces for hire.  

Please note location hire is additional to personal branding packages.

What else should I bring with me to the shoot?

I encourage you to think about the small details and accessories that represent you and your business. Think of the following:

  • Laptop / Phone / iPad

  • Business cards and subtle printed marketing material

  • Your favourite cup or mug

  • Reading glasses

  • Notebooks / pens etc.

  • Handbag and sunglasses

  • Makeup and lipstick for top ups

  • Hairbrush and mirror

  • Lint roller / fluff removal paper

    I am also more than happy to help you brainstorm a list of items before your photo shoot.

What about my hair and makeup?

Having professional hair and makeup done can make a significant difference to your final images. I can recommend the names of several different Hair and Makeup Artists or you are welcome to book your own.

What is the best time for the session?

Times are flexible during a business lifestyle photography session and dependent on the location of the shoot. If we are shooting at a specific venue or outdoor location, we may need to adapt the time to suit the location and light. We can confirm the best time when we finalise your shoot details.

Am I able to choose which images I want?

Absolutely! I firmly believe in giving you images that you love and will use. Once the session is over, I will send you an online “proof” gallery where you will be able to view all images from our session and pick the ones you and your team want. If you find you want more images, you will have the option to purchase more or the full gallery.

When can I expect to recieve my final images?

Once you have selected your favourite images the proof gallery, your final photos will be delivered within a 2-week timeframe via an online gallery. You will be able to download these images in Websize (2048px) and High Resolution.
