Long post alert! But please stay with me. I am genuinely interested how you feel about this.
Have you ever been told as a child not to show off, be loud or draw attention to yourself? Well, I have and I imagine a lot of women like me - mums, business owners, millennials - have heard something along those lines. And we grew up believing “attention-seeking” is to be avoided.
And then we grew up in a world where seeking attention quite literally means being seen! As a business owner, visibility isn’t showing off—it’s part of the job.
But here’s the truth…
Your dream clients can’t work with you if they don’t know you exist. You need to seek their attention. Showing up isn’t about ego or vanity. It’s about connection.
And you can’t build a connection by hiding behind your logo. The people who are looking for you want to see the face behind the brand, feel your energy, and trust the person they’re choosing to work with.
I am often guilty of this myself. I feel comfortable directing women in front of the lens and documenting their stories but I cringe when I need to step up and show my face. It’s deeply personal yet so many of us feel the same. And this is usually the main reason why many talented women in business avoid booking a brand photoshoot. Because of the little voice in our heads still whispering that attention seeking is not attractive. And I want to shut this up for you!
As your brand photographer, my job is to help you see a different version of yourself. Not a polished photoshopped image but the passionate, dedicated and hardworking person behind the business you are creating. You don’t see this in yourself but I do. I can help you feel comfortable enough to be yourself, capture the colours, personality and vibe that make your brand unique, and create images that give you the confidence to show up consistently.
✨ Comment “Me, too” if you’ve ever felt anxious about being seen in your own business. I promise you’re not the only one—and it doesn’t have to stay this way.
