Let's face it, if you are going to be a personal branding photographer, you need to walk your talk... you know you need photos and videos to show you and how you work.
Maybe you are keen to learn how to light, pose and create variety for your clients whilst keeping the imagery feeling natural and authentic.
And if you are new to the genre of personal branding, you most likely need to create a gorgeous folio of images with real women you can use to show your work.
I have created this hands on workshop style retreat, so you can tick ALL of these boxes at once, with a pro-team and good company to support you in a luxury shooting environment!
Come learn, shoot & be captured with me
STOP YOUR FOLIO HOLDING YOU BACK
Imagine this...
Arrive at a luxury property with other like-minded photographers on the same path, enjoy connection & intimacy with people who get you
Guided workshop with 2 pros to learn step-by-step tips on how to plan, pose, light, frame and execute a fluid photoshoot experience
Folio building photoshoot with models at luxe property, the kind of shoot experience that would cost $1000's to produce on your own
Coming home fully inspired with cards jammed with images to light your socials up so your feed looks like you have dreamt it could!
THE EXPERIENCE
You are keen to learn more about the genre of Personal Branding from 2 working professionals who are kicking it in this genre, and you want to connect rather than do another online course.
You find yourself getting stuck for ideas on how to pose, frustrated by seeing what others create and want to learn how to improve the overall aesthetic, function & feel of your style
You want to upgrade your current folio so the look and feel is more like what you want to be capturing, so you can finally attract the types of clients you dream of working with
You are ready to up-level the kind of images you create and expand your repertoire so you can sell a higher volume of images and make more profit from personal branding
This experience is for you if:

The Social Sessions experience is Paula's signature shoot bringing 4 women from different businesses together to share a full day personal brand shoot across multiple locations.
The first half of the day is spent at gorgeous styled property to capture lifestyle, professional and working style images and then we go out to urban streets, cafes, finish in nature, so you will have a full suite of action oriented images ready to go to work for you.
As the nature of these sessions is collaborative, you can also get images of you capturing the other ladies (and you will sub in to be their "client") so you will have ALL the content you need to show up big time in your socials.
Socials Sessions include hair, makeup, full day shoot, lunch, travel + 50 images

We will repeat this in numerous locations across the property to create the kinds of images you will need for your folio and then take the ladies on location also. These ladies will be "normal" body types & all ages

BACK TO START
As a corporate, headshot & architectural photographer, Alison felt the pull to be more creative with clients who were more engaged, and was dabbling around the edges of personal branding for years before it became what it is now.
When she took the steps to be mentored with me, she finally niched down and now enjoys cracking success working with passionate female entrepreneurs.

After 24 years (ouch) as a working professional photographer, I've experienced first hand what it feels like to make the switch from demanding weddings & portraits to the high-profit and relatively easier hours of a Personal Branding Business Model.
I now love to share what I have learnt from focussing on Personal Branding for the last 8 years and look forward to helping you to have more success in this gorgeous corner of our industry.
