What is personal branding photography?
Personal branding is exactly what it sounds like – personal. It should be unique to you and your brand and clearly demonstrate who you are and what you stand for. To create an effective personal brand, start by asking yourself a few questions:
→ How do you want to be seen?
→ What is it that you do?
→ What do you stand for?
By answering these questions, you can start to develop a clear picture of what your personal brand should look like. It’s why a personal branding photography session in my Nelson studio is about far more than just getting photos. I work with you to help you understand and convey exactly what it is that you are offering to potential clients or employers.
Why is personal branding important?
When it comes to personal branding, it’s important to move beyond the typical cliches that can be seen on many business pages. You want more than just a photo of you sitting in a coffee shop as these overused and generic images don’t offer any insight into your personality or your business.
They say very little about who you are or what your brand stands for. In fact, using non-personal, generic images can cause confusion for your customers and followers.
“Victoria is simply amazing! Super talented, lots of fun to shoot with, and the main reason why I chose her: her unique ability to capture emotion in the moment where I can share the genuine me. Her images are so much deeper than just a professional headshot for my website or social media channels.”
— Bea Pole-Boker – B!Social
What are the benefits of personal branding photography?
There are many benefits to creating a strong personal brand. It can help build credibility, show your true self, connect you with your target audience, set you apart from your competition, and give you a consistent brand message across all platforms. It can also help represent your message and values and build your confidence.
When planning your photo shoot, it’s important to think about where your business is headed, not just where it is today. Consider your long-term and short-term goals, as well as any new products or services you’ll be rolling out. Think about how your future self looks and how they hold themselves. By planning ahead and staying true to your personal brand, you can create a strong and effective brand message that will help you stand out in a crowded marketplace.
What’s the process?
Here’s how I run my Personal Branding Photography sessions in Nelson.
Our Meeting
We’ll start with a chat. I need to know exactly what you need and why you need it. How will we present your business? What emotions should people feel after visiting your website or social channels? How do you want to use your images, and where?
Your Personal Branding Photoshoot
Once I’m clear on your requirements we can craft a plan for your shoot. It can take place in my Nelson studio, your workspace, or any other location that will help me to tell your story. During the shoot I’ll use my years of experience to light and pose you to get you looking and feeling your best.
Your Personal Branding Images
I’ll send you a selection of photos in an online gallery so you can choose your favourites. I’ll edit your selection and deliver the final photos (both high and low res) in a beautiful online gallery.
YOUR INVESTMENT

Testimonials for my Personal Branding Photography in Nelson
“Over the course of my life and career, I’ve been photographed by professional photographers many times. I’ve almost always ended up with a photo that I like and am happy to share with other people. What happens in a session with Victoria is an entirely different experience, it’s transformative. This sounds like an over-statement, but I promise, it’s not. I felt more connected to my true self and found that spark of self-love that comes with middle age fanned into a flame. Definitely the most powerful form of self-care I’ve ever experienced. Even if you never show another human your portraits (you definitely will), your time with Victoria and her team will be one of the best investment you can make in your own wellness.” Laurel Hilton
“Through Victoria’s work, I can now tell my authentic story and share my messages with the world. I use her photos for my presentations, speaker profiles, event promotions and so much more. They are beautiful, I feel empowered, and if you want to show up as you truly are in your personal brand, I highly recommend her!” – Bea Pole-Boker
“Victoria is exactly the photographer you need for capturing the essence of your business.
My yoga offerings are invitations to other humans to come back to their true nature, and Victoria was able to capture that. With her incredible creativity behind the lens and her embodied calmness, she was able to make an experience that felt outside of my comfort zone (being photographed), so easeful.
The branding package has provided me with a cohesive set of photos that truly capture who I am as a person and what it is I offer. They are integral to my online marketing and have given me confidence in creating and building my brand and business.” Steph Le Gros
“I was so excited to book my shoot with Victoria. I’ve been watching her work evolve for the last couple of years and I couldn’t wait for it to be my turn. So I booked a branding shoot. I thought I was getting images that would help take my business further… what I actually got was amazing images, but more importantly, an experience that has taken me further, on every level. Thank you so much Victoria, you have such a wonderful gift that goes so much deeper than just pretty pictures.” Sarah Butler
“Having never done a photoshoot in my life, I was very apprehensive about being photographed. But the moment I walked into Victoria’s lovely, spacious studio in picturesque Founders Park in Nelson, my mind was immediately put to ease. The day felt less like a photo shoot and more like a fun hang out with a good friend! Victoria has an exquisite eye for detail, and as a true creative, she came up with spontaneous, playful ideas that turned out beautifully. When I came back a week later to look through the images I was astounded by how well they turned out. Victoria is a photographic wizard and the results are pure magic.”
– Elizabeth Gould
“The photos Victoria took were are so down to earth, real, authentic and yet polished and professional, the photos were beyond my expectations and make me so proud to share. I know they helped me attract the perfect client to my business. I truly love them!” – Hadley Fierlinger
