How it starts

Diane, from Diane Samways Garden Design, had a clear idea of what she needed when she got in touch with me. This is normally not the case for most of my clients and that is ok too. You don’t need to have it all figured out to want a personal brand shoot. That’s where I can help you. I will send you a questionnaire that will help us understand how you work, what you are already sharing with your clients and what your prospective clients might want to see more of you. During our creative call we brainstorm ideas and identify areas where and what images your business is missing.

 At our first call, Dians’ creative mind was going wild with amazing ideas and she already had locations and props in mind. She wanted the natural, behind-the-scenes look for her website refresh and social media. She had also big plans for workshops and online consultations so she could reach a wider market.

 It was important to create a variety of images that shows Diane’s creative process. She wanted to inspire her prospective clients and establish herself as the expert they need in their lives.

How it is going

We started the day in her beautiful office at The Welshmill Hub, a shared office space. Diane had her makeup and hair done and brought her own personal stylist, that was quite a treat for me as I could concentrate on just capturing Diane. After the office shots, we stopped at one of her past clients (who became a good friend) garden where we captured The Consultation part of Dianes’ creative work process. Then we explored the stunning Walled Garden at Mells, which offered an abundance of gorgeous backdrops for a garden designer. We were really lucky as Diane did a project there before and they opened the doors for us exclusively. And of course, we had to feature the cobble streets of Frome in Dian’s business photographs. And after a short break to grab some dinner we finished at our last location, a cornfield where we created some sunset shots.

The Results

Dians’ brand images feature her creativity, her work process, her personality and show her perspective clients how it looks to work with her. These images are a time saver and will help to convey her prospective clients in to paying clients. Whenever Diane needs an image to connect with her audience, get featured in magazines or other publications or create content online, she just needs to open up her personal brand gallery and find the right image.

 

If you also would like a gallery full of personalised content images that show off your personality,  send me a message to book a FREE Discovery Call to discuss and brainstorm some ideas for your Personal Brand Photoshoot.
