I’ve created a new social media account. If you’re a previous client or interested in family sessions, please give my new pages a follow, and feel free to send me a message—I’d love to reconnect!

🎄Exciting news: I have a pop-up studio in Warsash for Christmas mini sessions! Limited spots are available, so check out the link below to book your session and capture those precious holiday moments.

So I kept her busy by giving her prompts and things to do to make her feel more comfortable.

How to choose the right personal branding photographer for you and your business?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As humans, we need to put a face to name specially when investing our hard earned money in a product or service. The saying "people buy from people" is an old one but has never been more relevant than now especially when buying online.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Choosing the right personal branding photographer is essential for creating a professional and cohesive brand image that accurately reflects your personality, style, and values. Here are some steps to help you choose the right personal branding photographer for you:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📸 Research and compare: Look for personal branding photographers in your area and review their portfolios, websites, and social media pages. Check out their style, creativity, and expertise in branding photography. Compare their work and see if it aligns with your personal style and brand message.
📸 Ask for recommendations from other small business owners.
📸 Schedule a consultation to discuss your vision, goals, and expectations for your brand images, and ask about their process, pricing, and turnaround time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📸 Trust your gut: Ultimately, choosing the right personal branding photographer comes down to personal preference and trust. If you feel comfortable with the photographer and confident in their abilities, you are more likely to be happy with the final results.

This amazing woman is a mum of two little ones and own a children's boutique in Southsea:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For her branding session we wanted to represent what she does in a unique way. We could have taken gorgeous photos of her shop, of her serving clients or her unique and wonderful products but instead we took a different angle.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do children like? Ice cream, carousel, funfair, sweets, summer, bubbles and everything colourful!

There are many ways to support small business owners that don't require spending money. Here are some ideas:

💖 Follow them on social media: This will help the business build their following and increase their visibility.

💖 Refer them to others: If you know someone who is in need of the business's products or services, refer them to the business.

💖 Spread the word: Tell your friends and family about the business, and encourage them to check it out.

💖 Leave a positive review: If you've had a good experience with the business, leave a review on their website or social media pages. This can help them attract new customers.

💖 Engage with their content: Like and comment on their posts, and share their content with your followers.

💖 Offer your skills: If you have skills that could be helpful to the business (such as graphic design, social media management, or accounting), offer to help them out for free.

💖 Attend their events: If the business is hosting an event (such as a grand opening or a pop-up shop), attend and bring your friends.

Remember, every little bit of support helps small business owners, and it doesn't always have to involve spending money. By sharing, engaging, and offering your skills, you can make a big difference in helping small businesses succeed.

If you don't have a workplace to use as a backdrop for your personal branding photoshoot, don't worry - there are still plenty of great options to choose from:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌻 Outdoor locations: Consider taking your photos outside in a natural setting, such as a park, beach, or garden. This can provide a beautiful and versatile backdrop for your photos, and can help you to achieve a more relaxed and casual look.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☕️ Coffee shops or cafes: Many coffee shops and cafes have a stylish or unique interior that can make for an interesting backdrop for your photos.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏠 Your home: If you have a well-lit and stylish room in your home, you could consider taking photos there. This can also help to create a more personal and intimate feel to your photos, and can help to showcase your personality and style.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just remember to choose a location that reflects your personal brand and helps to convey the message you want to communicate to your audience. Don’t forget to incorporate some related props too!
