What is small business branding photography and how can it benefit my small business?

Branding photography is a specialised form of photography designed to visually capture the brand and personality of your small business. It involves creating a cohesive set of images that represent your brand's story and values. For small businesses, branding photography can enhance your online presence, attract new customers and create a memorable brand identity.

What should I prepare before the session?

To ensure a successful session, you should prepare by defining your small business’s visual style and message. Gather any products you'd like to feature and ensure your location is clean and tidy. It's also helpful to create a shot list or mood board to communicate your vision.

How long does a typical photo shoot last?

The duration of a session can vary based on your specific needs and package selection. Typically, sessions range from 1 to 3 hours. This allows ample time to capture a variety of images that fully represent your small business, including different setups and locations if needed.

Can you explain the process of selecting and receiving the final images?

After the session, I will carefully review and edit the photos (in my one-of-a-kind style) to ensure they meet the highest quality standards. You'll receive unlimited high-resolution images delivered via an online gallery, ready for you to use on your website and social media. You will receive your images between 24 and 72 hours.

What rights do I have to use the photos after the session?

Once you receive the final images, you have full rights to use them for commercial purposes, including marketing, advertising and social media. However, I retain the copyright to the images, allowing me to use them for my portfolio and marketing materials.

What happens if we need to reschedule the session due to rain or bad weather?

Weather can be unpredictable and it's important to capture your small business under the best conditions. If rain or bad weather affects our scheduled session, we can reschedule at no additional cost. I prioritise flexibility in my scheduling to accommodate such situations, ensuring we capture the brand of your business in the best possible light. We'll work together to find a new date and ensures the quality of the photos is not compromised.

How far in advance should I book a session?

It’s a good idea to book your photo shoot at least 2-4 weeks in advance. This allows ample time for planning and coordination, ensuring that we can tailor the session to perfectly reflect your vision. Early booking also provides flexibility in scheduling, especially if you have specific dates or times in mind. This time frame ensures that we can address any details like location, props, styling and make adjustments if needed.

Do you also photograph events?

I sure do! My approach is all about storytelling; capturing the candid interactions, the laughter, the joy and the overall vibe. If you're planning an event and want beautiful, lasting memories, please reach out!

Do we receive the RAW/unedited files?

RAW/unedited files are not available for viewing or for purchase. Giving RAW images to my client is like giving the unfinished product and they are not an accurate representation of my work or brand. My clients book me biased on my portfolio which is my finished work aka my best work! If you would like the RAW files because you are scared that you are missing out on great shots, I can 110% assure you that you are getting the absolute best from me!
