"Sara makes you feel confident and relaxed while shooting"

My photoshoot experience with Sara was more than I could have asked for. For me this wasn’t just a photoshoot it was an entire experience in itself. From start to finish Sara made sure I was not only comfortable but enjoying the process, from hair and makeup, to the behind the scenes videos, the hospitality she provided, the wardrobe options, and lastly the actual shoot! Sara is an amazing director, she is incredible at helping pose and making her subjects feel extremely comfortable. She truly embraces her clients like they are family and makes you feel confident and relaxed while shooting. I had such a professional experience I would highly recommend her services! Especially to gift this experience to a loved one to experience these timeless photos as well.

FAQs

▾ What is Personal Branding?

It's how you want to promote yourself in a unique combination of two things that exist and interact together:

  1. Who you are or who you want to be.
  2. Who you show the world you are.

▾ How do I plan for my personal branding photoshoot?

Great question! My advice would be to think about how you would want to be perceived as a successful person or business owner and plan your shoot around that! We will provide you with a guide after you booked your session.

▾ I don't know what to wear & don't have pretty dresses. Do you provide the wardrobe for the photoshoot?

No worries at all! There will be an exclusive personal stylist who can work with you to select the right pieces for your photoshoot by styling what you have or shopping or renting what you will need for your personal style vision so you are all ready to feel beautiful and fabulous. Also, you are welcome to use our beautiful studio wardrobe for your session. Please ask us about the Personal Stylist option at your first call.

▾ Can I do my photoshoot at a specific location or do you have a studio?

Most people prefer to have their shoots in my studio. But we can certainly do your photoshoot at a specific location. Depending on the location you choose, there will be a location fee. Contact us for more details please!

▾ I only need couple of photos right now, is this possible or is there a minimum purchase needed?

If that is all your require right now, no problem at all, we can do that for you! During the pre session consultation, most clients discover they’ll in fact require more than one photo to reach their goals.

The best part is, you only choose how many photos you’d like to purchase after you see them. You don’t select a package until after your shoot.

▾ Do you do personal branding photography for teams or entire company?

Yes! We usually create tailored packages for groups based on your specific needs. Contact us with the full details of what you need and we will send you some personalized packages.
