Branding Photography FAQs

What’s the difference between a headshot and a personal branding session

A headshot focuses on a clean, polished portrait for LinkedIn, websites or corporate profiles. A personal branding session includes a wider variety of images — portraits, lifestyle shots, behind‑the‑scenes moments, workspace details and content for social media or marketing.

Where do branding sessions take place?

Sessions can be held in my Brighton studio or on location across Bayside and greater Melbourne. Many clients choose a mix of both for variety.

How long does a branding session take?

Headshots take around 20–30 minutes, while full branding sessions run 1–5 hours depending on the package and number of locations.

What should I wear for my branding photos?

Choose clothing that feels like you — polished, comfortable and aligned with your brand. Solid colours, clean lines and simple textures photograph beautifully. I’ll guide you through options and help you choose outfits that suit your industry and personality.

Do you help with posing? I feel awkward in front of the camera?

Absolutely. Most people feel this way. I’ll guide you with simple, natural direction so you feel relaxed and confident. My approach is calm, supportive and designed to help you look like yourself — at your best.

Can I bring props or items from my business?

Yes — props can add personality and context. Laptops, notebooks, tools of your trade, products, books or even a coffee cup can help tell your story.

Do you offer hair and makeup?

Hair and makeup isn’t included, but many clients choose to have it done beforehand. I can recommend trusted local artists who specialise in natural, camera‑ready looks.

Can we shoot in multiple locations?

Yes — full branding sessions can include studio, outdoor and workplace locations. We’ll plan this together based on your brand, industry and the type of images you need.

How many images will I receive?

Each package includes a set number of fully edited images. You’ll receive a proof gallery within 1–2 weeks, and you can select additional images if needed.

Do you photograph teams or staff headshots?

Yes — I offer on‑site team headshots and branding sessions for small businesses and corporate groups across Melbourne. Consistent lighting and styling ensure a cohesive look across your team.
