IS PERSONAL BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY REALLY WORTH IT?
“From the moment I spoke to Clare, it was evident she was a true professional; creative, passionate and timely with everything.
Clare really has excellent after care for her clients.
This in itself is invaluable.
I would highly recommend Clare if you want a photographer to represent your brand in a beautiful way.”
Darleen, Founder & Coach at Darleen Davies Coaching
WHETHER YOU’RE NEW TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP, OR A START-UP GURU
You might already know it can be somewhat of a personal rollercoaster, riding the ups and downs of a change in identity, braving daily decision-making, and navigating the twists and turns that can leave you feeling exhilarated one moment and a bit queasy the next. Each day is a new ride, where you embrace the thrill of uncertainty while trying to find your footing on this wild adventure. Amidst this exhilarating journey of self-discovery, personal reinvention plays a significant role.
Personal reinvention can feel like trading in your comfy running shoes for a pair of 4 inch heels. Fresh, new and exciting but a little uncomfortable (and with a few wobbles along the way!). Whether you’re leaving your executive role to become a one-person powerhouse or swapping playdates for passion projects, figuring out how to present this new you can be both thrilling and, well, a little terrifying. Cue the self-doubt spiral!
I KNOW - TRUST ME, I’VE BEEN THERE! (And I promise that the shoes do get more comfy over time! )
Having made the transition from corporate sales to creative freelance in 2015, I know how it feels to break free from the corporate mould and finally have the freedom to be 100% yourself (who is that you might be wondering!). But you don’t have to change industry or turn your career on its head to embrace your uniqueness. Which is why I love being a personal branding photographer.
MY SUPER POWER IS THAT I HELP YOU FEEL MORE CONNECTED TO YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF BY SHOWING YOU JUST HOW BRILLIANT YOU ARE!
I’ve also learned a thing or two about making a killer first impression. Your dream clients? They’re out there, and the right personal branding photography is like a magnet for their attention (without you having to resort to interpretive dance on Instagram). Personal branding photography is a total game-changer. It’s like having a secret weapon that boosts your confidence and your business at the same time. Think of it like having a professional headshot that works overtime while you nap.
CONTENT CREATION
Becomes a breeze when you have a stash of dynamic and professional photos at your fingertips. No more selfie selections for you! Combining professional branding images with your content to promote you as an expert in your field will lead to increased credibility and consumer confidence, more enquiries & more sales!
TRUST & CONNECTION
People buy people first. Sharing authentic, relatable visuals that communicate your passion for your business helps to build a real, much deeper connection with your audience, which in turn increases trust.
UNIQUE IMAGES
Stock imagery can serve a purpose but it won’t celebrate all the qualities that set you apart from your competition and it won’t speak directly to the people you want flooding your inbox. It won’t show the sparkle in your eye, the genuine enthusiasm for your offering or your personality. Remember, there is only ONE YOU!
CONFIDENCE & EMPOWERMENT
It’s not just the confidence boost you’ll get from feeling incredible on your shoot day and seeing yourself looking your best in the pictures afterwards; it’s the increased connection you’ll feel to your business through the whole process which will leave you buzzing and empowered to show up as the leader you are, more often.
“BE YOURSELF, EVERYONE ELSE IS ALREADY TAKEN”
Oscar Wilde
SO WHAT’S STOPPING YOU?
Don’t let lack of confidence or feeling camera shy stop you from showing up for your business.
I’ve heard it all…. “I’m just not photogenic”, “who wants to see this face?”, “once I do X (fill in the gap - lose weight, look less tired, make more money, land a few more clients), I’ll be ready”.
Let me break it to you - IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU! At least not in the way that you think!
Your audience NEEDS to see you - to trust you, to see themselves in you, to align with your values, or just TO KNOW YOU EXIST!! And showing up does get easier with practice so the sooner you start, the easier it will become!
I’VE GOT YOU, AND ITS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN!
I’ll metaphorically hold your hand through the whole process so you feel safe, celebrated and totally worthy of every fabulous image you want, need and get!
“ I loved every moment of working with Clare.
She was inquisitive, creative, organised and professional.
She also found a way to make me feel completely at ease!”
Rachel Shaw, Yoga Instructor
TIPS TO EASE YOU INTO THE DAY & KEEP YOU FEELING LOOSE THROUGHOUT…
Bring a friend!
Great for keeping you focussed, relaxed and also for those interactive client shots to showcase your own client experience during the photoshoot.
Keep the tunes flowing!
I love to dance my way through a shoot and I’m down with anything so put together a favourite playlist for the day to boost your mood, help you loosen up those hips and keep the energy high!
Always bring snacks!
Stay hydrated (starting the night before) and bring along your favourite treats! Nothing more distracting than a rumbling tummy!
Posing advice
A little reframe on posing - instead of looking at it as a potentially uncomfortable experience, consider it to be the best way to communicate your body language and connect with your audience by directing their attention to the most important part of you - most often your eyes!
Whether you’re talking to a client, typing on your laptop, straddling a surfboard or doing a Downward dog, I’ll be directing you throughout to make sure you look your best and are engaging your audience in a way that feels comfortable for you.
