FAQ for Heart Led Entrepreneurs
What is branding photography?
Brand photography is the art of capturing a business in an engaging and unique way. These images are used to represent your brand and offerings online, in print materials, social media, posts and more. The goal of brand photography is to build awareness and connection to your business or product that you share. Brand photography is a curated collection of professional images that visually represent your business – including photos of you, your team, your space, your products, you story and you’re the heart of your business
Hearts want to connect with other hearts, relate to others stories and feel the soul of your brand. Brand photography is more than just beautiful imagery. Its more than capturing how you work or where you work. To reveal the soul of your brand and the magic you offer, you need consistency in your look and message to gain trust, well crafted and planned photos that reveal the core of your story and offerings. Having all your visual elements working together including your colours, cohesively to maintain a strong brand identity.
what are the benefits of branding photography?
Really there are so many. You can read my BLOG - BENEFITS OF BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY via my blog link. But really it's simple.
By capturing intentional, artful imagery of what you and your business are all about (your soul essence), you can confidently share your brand vision, value and offerings with clarity, passion and purpose so you can attract and connect with your dream clients.
So much heart has gone into your business vision and offerings - don’t get shy now, its time to share the goodness you have created and shine your light with confidence”

What can I expect after I BOOK?
Hi there Beautiful Soul,
I just want you to know that this is NOT just a photo shoot. It is an experience that you will enjoy as you allow yourself the spaciousness to reflect and celebrate what you have whole heartedly created to share with the world.
We all have our own unique energetic signature and so does our business. Like our own personal song that emits out into the world. Lets make sure we capture that... Yours and your businesses SOUL ESSENCE!
CONNECT + COLLABORATE
At the beginning, it's important you get time to share and reflect on what magic you have created. We meet face to face or via zoom to plan your session together, being guided by a questionnaire to help me make sure that every image we capture together is going to strengthen your brand voice and be a true investment for your business. The more we explore your needs and understand the vibe and values of your business, the more powerful the content will be.
LOCATION
Many heart centered businesses have their session take place where they lead with their purpose. This allows me to create your imagery for you in a your space as well as any lifestyle images that help you tell your story, share your offerings and connect with your dream audience. Alternatively, together we can explore suitable locations prior to your shoot that reflect the feeling behind your business.
Something really special takes place when we create together. A gentle calm washes over the space, you feel at ease and your magnetic individual presence shines through.
This collaboration will result in an entire gallery of custom, consistent images to use throughout your website, social media, print media and marketing platforms that reflect who you are as an heart led entrepreneur and what makes your brand unique. From head shots, to your workspace, lifestyle imagery, creative processes and products, you’ll be able to tell your story, attract and connect with your audience and grow your business!

Sweet quiet moments will be welcomed and encouraged, where you can show your vulnerability and adoration for your family. Of course, sometimes to allow my families to feel comfortable I can gently guide you through a mix of natural positions and fun prompts that allow me to capture your love and connection as it is, in its most visually beautiful form. Naturally those in between candid moments unfold organically on their own from that point forward.
No two sessions are the same - just like no two families are ever alike. I go into every session excited to get to know your crew and take care of your little people just like my own.
WHAT LOCATIONS DO YOU USE?
live in Coastal Victoria on the Bellarine Penisula in Ocean Grove. I offer a bunch of beach and bushy locations that compliment my editing style, my session approach and travel time within 30 min drive of my home town. A Clients home is my all time favourite.
For a family session, an outdoor sunset session is perfection, but if it's all about your new baby, in home lifestyle is my suggestion.
wHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?
I am very much for embracing the weather conditions, and we know it can be very unpredictable. I will not move our session date for cold or overcast conditions. I will move it if it is unsafe. Please understand if you have booked for a beach session and it is too windy, we may need to move the location to somewhere more suitable. If the weather is extreme and we are not able to move ahead, please understand there may be a wait to re-book in your session, but of course no extra cost.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE GET SICK?
If anyone is sick on the day of the session, I will happily reschedule for another day. Same goes for me, if I’m not well I’ll let you know asap, and we will find another date. I’ll never turn up to a session unwell especially if you have a newborn baby. There is no fee to reschedule your session if anyone is unwell. You can read more about my COVIDSafe Plan and updates on Victoria’s current restrictions and how they impact photography services at the link at end of these FAQs
WHAT IF I NEED TO MOVE OUR SESSION DATE OR SOMETHING COMES UP?
You understand upon booking and paying the deposit I will secure this date just for you. If you are unable to move ahead with your session, your deposit will be forfeited. If you request to change the date for a booked session, a new booking fee (deposit) will apply, and you will be re-invoiced with the current investment prices. Please understand it is unlikely I am able to cover your session last minute.

WILL MY PHOTOS BE POSTED PUBLICLY ON YOUR SITE OR SOCIAL MEDIA?
I respect your privacy and allow each client to decide whether or not they want their photos displayed publicly. I’d love to show off you & your images, if you’re game! If not, that's okay, too.
WHAT TIME DO SESSIONS USUALLY TAKE PLACE?
For sunset sessions, I generally start 60 to 90 minutes prior to sunset. Please be mindful this changes year round with the seasons and also daylight savings. For in home sessions we will generally get started mid morning.
