"This was my first Branding Shoot, & I felt at ease from the moment I arrived"

Where do I begin….Alison is such a talented, knowledgeable, kind and very approachable photographer, I felt at ease from the moment I arrived.

This was my first branding shoot, Alison had done a lot of prep work before hand with me, making sure she understood my vision of what I wanted from this shoot and was always available to answer any questions I had.

I’m not at all comfortable being in front of the camera but she helped me feel very relaxed, and I really enjoyed my day with her. My photos are exactly what I wanted and more, I can’t wait to start using them!

I will certainly be recommending and booking again very soon! Thank you so much Alison.”

– Emma

“Wow!! They look absolutely AMAZING!"

“You’ve done an incredible job! Thank you so much.  The pictures make me feel very proud & and I will be more than happy to put them out in public. 

You have not only done a stunning photographic job, but you have also boosted my confidence and my self esteem. 

As you say, we are always so critical of ourselves which is actually a really unkind thing to do to ourselves.  You have certainly portrayed your values in your photographic skills, eye for detail, personality and kindness, so thank you!”

– Michelle

I LOVE my brand photos, thank you so much Alison 🤍

Alison is such a talented photographer, but she’s also a very kind and approachable person. I’m not comfortable being in front of the camera but she helped me feel really relaxed and the photos turned out amazing for my branding shoot. So much so that I’ve got another shoot booked for a few months time. Thank you, Alison! I use these photos every single day in my business and they’re such an important part of my brand. So incredibly valuable!

– Letitia from Everbooked

The whole session felt like I had chatted with a friend who also took pictures rather than being a 'cold' photo shoot.

“The whole process was as painless as could have been hoped for, from someone who dislikes having their picture taken! Alison put me at ease, had some great ideas for shots, and gave me the images needed to use on our website underneath my bio. Questions were answered quickly, no pressure was put on me to purchase more shots, and the end result were edited and presented within a week. The whole session felt like I had chatted with a friend who also took pictures rather than being a ‘cold’ phot shoot. No hesitation to recommend to others.”

– Simon

"Very easy to deal with and undertstood what we wanted to achieve."

We have booked Alison for two Commercial shoots now for our business and she has been great. very easy to deal with and really undertstood what we wanted to achieve. We are really pleased with the results and will use Alison again.”

– Will Hosegood – Brooks Leney

"I knew instantly that her style was what I was looking for, and my expectations were met and then some!⁠"

“After quite a lot of searching for the right photographer, it was a delight, and to be honest, rather a relief to stumble across Alison’s work. I knew instantly that her style was what I was looking for, and my expectations were met and then some!

I was looking for a personal branding session for my business, and I feel the purpose of such a shoot is to connect you with your audience. I wanted something much more intimate, a photographer who could capture the ‘real’ me. When you’re putting yourself ‘out there’, the internet is a bit of a barrier to connecting with people, yet other photography I came across was too impersonal, too corporate, people pulling all sorts of unnatural faces and cheesy grins.

Alison clearly has a natural talent for bringing out the best in people – the ‘true essence’ of people. And when I met her for my photo shoot she was so warm and welcoming, and really made me feel at ease. And I couldn’t be happier with the way the photos turned out! Thanks Alison. :)”

“They’re fabulous — thank you so much!

They’re exactly what I hoped for (and more!) and I honestly don’t say that lightly — I rarely like photos of myself, yet now I have a whole list of favourites I can’t choose between!

Thank you not only for your talent but also for your hard work and early start to make this happen. I can’t wait to start sharing these across various platforms, including my website.

You have such a gift for capturing people — they’ve genuinely made my day (and I exchanged on a property today, so that’s saying something!)”.

PERSONAL BRANDING SESSION

Personal Branding Photoshoots  are aimed at small business owners like myself, who are passionate about their businesses and want their branding to be a reflection of themselves.

It’s my aim to help you build powerful personal brands through fabulous and original imagery of yourselves and your business products or services.

We all know that people buy from people that they trust, and seeing images that include the face behind the company, as well as some photos of you doing the work you do really helps to build that trust.

So a photoshoot that is tailored to your specific personality and business will assist with your advertising, marketing, and increase engagement on your social media pages too.

We can photograph you, your team and your  products too if you need. We can shoot indoors or outside depending on the story you want to tell your clients about you and your business.

To give you an idea of what to expect, I’ve included images from a selection of local small businesses from a variety of different fields.   Including an Estate Agent, a Florist,  Portrait Photographer, Landscape Designer,  Pilates Instructor, Cinema Chair Upholstery business, and a Luxury Car Social Media Content Creator.   

Traditional or contemporary Corporate Headshot Sessions for larger businesses are available too.  I can come into your offices or a location of your choice with my lighting equipment and background and spend a few hours photographing your team’s Headshots and some action ‘busy at work’ shots too if you like.  Whatever your requirements, feel free to ask and we can work the shoot to suit you and your business.

 

 

 

YOUR QUESTIONS

When will my images be ready?

I aim to have them edited and sent to you within 7 days but if they are more urgent, please let me know beforehand and I will do my best to get them to you sooner.

What's involved in a Commercial or Personal Branding Shoot?

Firstly we will have a conversation either in person, on the phone or online, so I can get to know more about you, your personality, likes and dislikes and what you are looking for from your images.

Then we can work out what elements we need to make your branding more about you and appealing to your target clients.
We will discuss outfits, colours and locations for your shoot, and the use of props in your images too.  If you are able to send me a mood board or at least a few screenshots of the sort of images you are looking for, it would be very helpful when it comes to planning your shoot.

Then on the day of the shoot, we will meet up at the location of your choice (you are welcome to do the shoot at our studio or on our farm but I’m also happy to come to your place of work or a location that fits in with your companies aesthetic).

I will photograph you in different outfits and in different locations and will include a mix of close up headshots, 3/4 length and full body shots to give you lots of variety in your gallery. Consideration of composition will be given to ensure there is plenty of negative space in your images for text if that’s important to you.

Depending on your Package, I will send you a link to your gallery within a week of your shoot and you can start using them immediately.

Do you offer Hair and Makeup?
I can arrange for you to have full hair and makeup if you would like a confidence boost for your session. I use a very experienced lady for this and have used her for years. She charges £110 for both hair and makeup or £55 for one or the other, and it takes just over an hour to do.
Can I include other people from the company in the images?
Yes of course, but please do let me know beforehand so I can add those images to the shoot plan. Also, they will need to be involved in discussions about what to wear etc.
How many images will I get from the shoot.

That depends how long your session is, and how many people are included and how much editing is required. If we take Product or detail shots, then you will have more images in your gallery than if I am just photographing people. But rest assured I will choose the best images from the shoot and they are edited before adding them to your gallery and sending them to you.  But approximately you can expect 30 images from a 1 hour shoot and 90 from a 3 hour shoot.
