Why is personal branding so important?
Why do you need a personal branding photo shoot?
In this day and age branding is super important. You'd have to be living in a cave if you weren't aware of the impact of brands. It's not just big businesses that rely on branding to get their message across. It's equally important for small businesses too - it runs through every aspect of a business. How you want to portray your business to your clients, the look and feel of your products and service, your logo, your website and your web presence.
Personal branding extends to include not only your business but yourself as well. If you provide a service then your clients will want to get to know you. They will want to see what you look like, perhaps see images of you at work as well as just a portrait of you.
Running your own business is a very personal undertaking and so it's important to be able to have images that portray you - do you want to be seen as corporate, arty, relaxed, fun, serious, creative? Do you want to include where you work, the tools that you use on a daily basis etc.
If you don't run your own business, it's still important to have a set of images that illustrate your working life. You many need images to feature in a programme, for a conference, on the back of a book, for your LinkedIn profile, CV - even your dating profile!
I really enjoy working with local businesses and business folk in and around Cardiff to get the images that they need. Over the years I've photographed businesswomen, businessmen, writers, actors, graphic designers, builders and even a mermaid. I've included a little selection of images below.

Personal headshot photo session
This lovely lady contacted me and asked if she could book a personal headshot photo session. She wanted some nice images to give to her children. I thought it was a fabulous idea, so we decided to make the most of the Autumn colours and head to Dyffryn Gardens for our shoot. She brought along her gorgeous little Pomeranian canine friends, Charlie and Lizzie, and we had lovely walk together. Charlie and Lizzie seemed to enjoy themselves immensely - look at their little faces!!
Existing in photos is so important and even though most people feel a bit shy or reluctant to have their photos taken, they are a marvellous keepsake for the future.

Children's headshot session
This gorgeous little cheeky chappie came to visit my home studio for a children's headshot photo session.
What a lovely little character he is. I especially loved his rendition of Justin Timberlake's 'Can't stop the feeling'. Cuteness overload!
If you have a little one and would like a relaxed children's headshot session with me, please get in touch! Gem x
