THIS IS
get the best roi from your shoot:
You want to make sure you feel really great on the day, but also that you've made investments in things you'll wear long after the shoot.
TheSplash is a bespoke styling experience designed specifically for women in business who need photographs that look like the next level of their brand, not just a collection of nice pictures.
Together, we'll create a completerange of looks for your photoshoot aligned with your goals, positioning, audience and personal brand. But we don't stop there - this is about elevating your brand entirely, which means we look at what you're wearing for every day in your business, too.
Whether you're launching a new offer, writing a book, pitching yourself for speaking opportunities, want to be seen as an industry leader, or you're establishing yourself and your business, we'll ensure every look is working for you.
I can also liaise with your photographer and even come to your shoot day to make sure everything is pitch-perfect (subject to availability).
HERE'S THE THING NO ONE TELLS YOU:
When I was an editor, I lost count of the number of decent story pitches that went straight in the bin because they were accompanied by grainy selfies that would not match up to magazine standards.
You are losing opportunities when you don't know how to ciommunicate your message effectively through your visuals. And whilst your photographer may be able to give you some guidance on what works in front of the camera, they weren't in the high-pressured position of choosing the right images for magazine front covers.
As a direct result of working on their visual branding, my clients have been featured in the press, on stages and podcasts. They don't panic when an opportunity lands in their inbox, because they have all the assets to match.
Humans have been using clothing as a tool of communication ffor longer than the written word, which means a decision is made within seconds about whether you look the part.
normal styling won't cut it:
I'm combining my years of newsroom experience (which included deciding on the front pages of multi-million pound publications), with my wardrobe knowledge to help you create brand-elevating imagery for socials, websites, press and speaking pitches.
I struggled for years with my image, and avoided the camera like the plague. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to have your photo taken, especially when you’ve been behind-the-scenes your entire career and now you need a ‘personal brand.’
The two biggest mistakes I see when it comes to photoshoots:
1: buying clothes specifically for photos. Then it’s like you’re projecting a different image than who you actually are, and you never again wear the things you bought.
2: rocking up in what feels comfortable because ‘authenticity’ (YES), but then not thinking about how it reads to your intended audience.
how it works:
The Splash session: We'll review your existing wardrobe and look at what's working, what's not, and how you'd like to dress now. We'll come up with your outfit plan for the day of the shoot and make sure any gaps are covered.
You'll receive guidance on colours, silhouettes and visual messaging
Then you'll have a shoppable board/moodboard so you know exactly what you're wearing and when.
I can liaise directly with your photographer, ensuring we're all on the same page for the day of the shoot. And subject to availability, I can also join you on location (additional fee applies).
On booking, you'll receive a calendar link to book our session and an in-depth questionnaire and welcome pack so I can get to know your exact needs and you can feel as prepped as possible. I aim to have lookbooks done within 7 working days of the session. Please make sure you're booking in plenty of time ahead of your shoot, so that we have time to get the moodboard together
