Dear Heart Led
Just wanted to let you know that I see you
I see the heart and soul behind the scenes, that goes into your heart led offerings
The self doubt and burn out (at times) as you juggle the 100 balls that is running your own small business. Getting your message and face out to the world consistently. Keeping your message and presence fresh and aligned can feel overwhelming at times.
You are inspired by others but sometimes the comparisonitis takes over in this space.
You lead and live from you heart as you weave your values and allow them to authentically guide your own life and your business.
You love what you do so much that you couldn't imagine life without your work and business.. it's part of you.
When we work together, I imagine we will connect heart to heart, as we speak the same language and are on the same page
I hope to support you so your imagery and brand speak abundantly about you, your business, your offerings... and encapsulate your SOUL ESSENCE
I do not take our crossing of paths for granted, however completely in awe of the serendipitous connections that continue to arise in life.
The idea is for your images to be a beautiful reminder to yourself that you are leading and living from your heart
The light in me, sees the light in YOU!
Soul to Soul - Eye to Eye
Love, Mel.O xo

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”
.
How could a brand refresh benefit me and my 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 is your turn around time?
After each photo shoot I aim to have your completed digital gallery delivered to you within a 3 week time frame. More often than not, I get so excited about working on clients photos that I start work on them in all my small pockets of time and get you your collection of images within a 2 week time frame. I will stay in communication with you throughout the process. This time frame refers viewable and instantly downloadable digital images delivered to you on your personal online user friendly gallery.
Please understand print products will add more time onto this for production and delivery.
What rights do I have to use the images?
Some photographers like to make this part complicated. I see it very simply. I am the eye and designer, supporting your business. I am one of your biggest cheer leaders. I want you to be able to use your images any way you wish, any way that helps you get seen, noticed so you can continue making a positive impact on others lives, just as you intended from your heart felt offering.
Once you receive your images, they will be fully downloadable. You can then use these in print products, marketing materials, website refresh, social media marketing etc.
My intention is for these images we captured together to elevate your brand and get noticed by those you wish to attract the most.
When you are ready for fresh images I will be here to support you through capturing your evolved vision and just to say THANK YOU, once you have one session you become a VIP and you will receive a discount for each session you book in the future.

"She heard the whispers of something awaken inside her, and she knew that she could no longer stay hidden, her heart wanted more for her and her business and it was time to move into alignment with her highest expression, creativity and truth. She was ready for her SOUL ESSENCE to shine bright"
She packed her courage and stood her ground and was now unshakable in her belief that
her business was of great value to others and it needed to be shared with clarity, passion and confidence.
And she knew that the only person who could take the first step was herself
SO SHE SAID 'YES', AND GOT TO WORK
