When was the last time you were professionally photographed?

In a LinkedIn study, researchers found (using eye-tracking software) that recruiters spent 19% of their time looking at a person's photo.

Profiles with a photo receive 21x more profile views and 9x more connection requests. - Core HR NZ

I’m Ali - also referred to as “the redhead with the camera”.

Working in the Wellington arts and fashion industry I meet so many fabulous dancers, actors and business professionals who are not updating their socials, CVs and websites. They tell me it’s because they don’t have a selection of gorgeous, professionally shot profile and branding images.

As a professional portrait photographer, I’m here to help you level-up your portfolio and online presence.

Portraits and Personal Branding

I design bespoke headshot, portrait and personal branding sessions, tailoring each unique shoot around my client. I’ll determine exactly what energy, vibe and aesthetic you want to create, and plan our session just for you. We could be in the dance studio, in your office, or even at a fabulous Cuba Street cafe - wherever your profession and aspirations take you.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a vision for your photos just yet. It’s my job to help you figure that out - we’ll do a full consultation to map your story and build your brand around you.

As a trained dancer and choreographer, I’ll guide you as we compose impactful, dynamic and authentic images which capture your presence. We’ll create a powerful portfolio and a varied, vibrant content archive.

What is Personal Branding?

YOU are your brand. Personal branding photography captures your personality and engages potential customers. Brand photography tells the story of who you are, what you do and why you do it.

In business, this will attract your ideal clients and help make sales.

For performance artists, your photos demonstrate not just who you are, but how you move and how you could be cast. Nowadays artists are not only defined by their art, but also by their online presence. It’s crucial for dancers, musicians and actors to establish a strong personal brand to stand out from the crowd.

I specialise in capturing images that convey your personal and professional brand. I’ll work with you to highlight your strengths, style, and the message you want to communicate to your audience. We’ll create a photo suite that tells a story about you - your day in the workplace or at the studio - and the life you’ve built around that.

I deliver:

All the images fully edited, in colour & black and white, in print and web friendly versions. I take the pain out of cropping and resizing, ready for Facebook Banners, Ads, Stories and Instagram.

All all you have to do is pop on some text and hit upload. So next time you go to post, you are all set. No need to filter or alter anything, you are all good to go!

Events

For your important events, I provide professionally posed group & couple shots, plus classy candid captures. I’ll ensure your celebrations look as fabulous as you want to remember them.
