I see a lot of people think the idea of headshots is old and out of date. As a photographer that offers both headshots and branding photoshoots, I can assure you that professional headshots are still very much needed and expected from professionals in their respective industries. ⠀

But your headshot doesn’t have to be stiff or boring. As a businesswoman, you don’t have to pose in masculine ways to be taken seriously. You can totally wear the clothes, jewellery, and colours that you love and looks good on you and still show up as polished and professional.

Your headshots are one of the easiest and most effective ways to level up your professional profile online and I want to help you with that!

Should I invest in a Personal Brand Photoshoot?
As small b
usiness owners, it can sometimes feel like there’s more money going out than coming into our business! So how do you decide what to invest in, to help you bring more sales in and grow your business?
Ask yourself, is this going to help you connect with new clients, and potentially bring in more sales?
If the answer is yes, then booking a Personal Brand photoshoot, should be on your priority list.
Personal brand photos can help you be visible, attract the right clients, connect with them, and grow your business, which will, in turn, help you make more money.
You will never regret investing in your own business and being proud of the image you project out to the world.
Book a chat with a photographer that you like and admire their work and start working together on growing your business.
And if that’s me, then let’s chat.
“I’m too old to start a new business”. Does that sound familiar?
Very o
ften, after we hit our 40s, 50s or 60+, we dream of starting our dream business, but we tell ourselves that we are too old to do that or worse, others tell us that.
Well, let me tell you, you are never too old.
All those negative thoughts are in our own heads. And I know all this because as a Personal Brand Photographer for Women, I have met women of all ages doing their thing and creating their own business reality. And guess what, I’m as well one of these women.
I was 43 when I founded my photography business. My motivation? Being my own boss, creating through photography, helping others achieve their dreams, and the best of all working my hours around my family. Let me tell you honestly, it wasn’t an easy start, as I was so stuck in my own head telling myself that I’m too old to start a new business (again) and in a new country (again). You see, before my photography business, I had a few different, profitable businesses in a different country (not in my home country either but in my husband’s).
Somehow, I picked up my courage and started working very slowly, towered starting my photography business. I was determined, and the desire to have a business that I love was enough to push all the negativity to one side and go for it. I love the fact that I have become a positive role model for my kids too. My business is my passion, which keeps me focused and driven, and with that, I showed my kids that good thing happen if you keep going and not quit when the going gets tough.
After three years of ups and downs and throughout the pandemic when I couldn’t work at all, I can truthfully tell you that right now, I’m on the right path. My business is growing more and more by the day. And no, still, it’s not easy, but I absolutely love what I do, and the hard work is paying off. I’m proud of my story, and I am proud of the brand I am building.
AND the best part? I get to help other talented, amazing women on their business journey.
SO, IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN TOO.
AGE IS JUST A NUMBER, NOTHING MORE.
Have you ever thought about what your Personal Brand is?
For some of you, the question might actually be…what even is a Personal Brand?
It’s often not the first thing you think about when you start a service-based business.
Most of you will probably have an idea about what ‘Branding’ is, i.e the process of having your brand brought to life, like colours, logos, marketing strategies, etc.
But do you actually know what a brand is?
In essence, your brand is your PROMISE. It’s what your clients come to expect from you.
And one thing to know about your personal brand is that you already have one! Whether it’s deliberate or not you’re already putting out lots of stories and information about you and your business every day, both online and offline.
This means that your audience will have an opinion about you whether you want them to or not!
So, wouldn’t you rather that opinion of you be one that you’ve curated? A deliberate decision from you? An intentional delivery of your message?
If this is blowing your mind right now how about giving the concept a little experiment?
Go ask 5 people in your audience to describe you in 3 words. If there are any common themes that come out, that’s the core message/feeling that you’re putting out there!
Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the details of what YOU want your brand to be. But it’s equally so important to remember that your personal brand is what OTHER PEOPLE SAY about it when you’re not in the room.
So, focus on that.
P.S If you need help creating the curated image/visual message of your brand, feel free to DM me.
