Personal Brand Photo Shoots

Elevate your brand, attract dream clients, and sky-rocket your business.

Standout, no matter how camera-shy you feel.

Lifestyle business photography for camera-shy consultants, coaches & service based businesses in Auckland, New Zealand

In a busy market you can’t afford to be ignored - you need imagery as unique as you are, and a brand that hustles as hard as you do.

When you don’t define your personal brand you:

Watch your competitors take your dream clients, while you’re stuck doing work you don’t love.

Get lost in the noise and waste precious time chasing after customers that don’t know you exist.

Having your brand defined for you by people who don’t understand what you offer.

Hey, I’m Aimee.

A photographer & branding pro committed to helping entrepreneurs thrive with top-shelf brand imagery that positions you as the expert in your field.

Before slinging a camera full time, I drove the marketing strategy for some incredible brands.

Eventually I ditched the 9-to-5, and now I blend marketing insight with photographic expertise to create jaw dropping branding photos that hustle as hard as you do.

I’m a lifestyle photographer, which means I take authentic looking images that don’t feel too forced or posey.

I’m betting you think you’re not photogenic, and you feel like a bit of a knob in front of the camera? Don’t worry, I get it!

That’s why I’ll ensure you’re well prepared before your shoot and you have easy to follow direction on the day, so you never have to worry about how to pose your hands or whether you’re showing too many chins!

Got questions?

  • Headshots are usually shot from the bust up and provide a simple, professional image of what you look like.

    Whereas Personal Branding incorporates storytelling about who you are and why you do what you do. Personal Branding photos will be a mix of headshots, editorial and lifestyle portraiture that visually illustrates what it’s like to work with you.

    For more, check out this post.

  • Ah, the all important question! The main thing is that you wear something you feel confident in! Try everything on a week before (leaving time to fill in wardrobe gaps if needed).

    Don’t worry you will get an extensive guide with pages of wardrobe tips and ideas when you book.

    You can bring in as many outfit options as you want. I’ll go through them with you and help you choose what will work best on camera and make you look a million bucks.

  • When you get in touch I'll send you a location guide to spark ideas. After that we will discuss the options that are best suited to your brand.

    That might be your offices and nearby environment, a hired location, or your favourite cafe. I also shoot many branding sessions at my own home which has a neutral, modern aesthetic that is especially well suited to lifestyle brands and authors.

  • Sometimes. Get in touch and lets discuss if my signature style will be a good fit for your team. I can work up a custom quote for you from there.

  • I’d love to! Get in touch to discuss a custom quote and timeline for a Squarespace website designed to skyrocket your brand presence.

  • I get it! Times are tough right now! But, while a headshot is great for your LinkedIn Profile, it’s not enough to convince your ideal customer that you’re the right fit for them. A full suite of images that showcase who you are and what you do in an irresistible way will go so much further.

    Can you really afford not to start attracting your dream clients? Investing in yourself is always worth it.
