Client Love - Active Truth

Written By Lesley Allan

I absolutely loved this branding shoot with female entrepreneurs Nadia Tucker & Stevie Angel of Active Truth, it was a dream come true!   I absolutely love everything their brand stands for; inclusivity and celebrating beauty in all its shapes and sizes.  

It’s so refreshing to see an active wear label that creates fashionable, high quality active wear in sizes 6 through to 26. 

This branding shoot was in celebration of Nadia and Stevie’s nomination for the 2018 Telstra Business Women of The Year Awards.  They needed some fresh new headshots to accompany their nomination (good luck ladies!).

Here's a peek at some of my favourite shots from the day!

It’s one of your first times in front of the camera and it’s for something that’s really important to you, your ‘brand’ and your business. You feel the nerves coming in. Let’s be real for a second, unless you’re a model, it’s likely there’ll only have been a few occasions in your life when you have your photo taken professionally. It’s only normal that this will conjure up a mix of emotions for you and leave you feeling nervous. But I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be that way!

Beautifully curated and engaging images are one of the most powerful ways to connect with your intended audience and to share the intention of your business or brand. It makes sense then, that high-quality professional photography is essential to creating a memorable online presence.

Are you looking at having a personal branding shoot with your team, but you’re unsure how to make the shoot work when there’s more than one person in front of the lens? Here are my top tips below to make sure everyone is looking & feeling their best!

A trend that’s become hugely popular in personal branding photography (and I’m totally here for it!!) - hiring a shoot location.

A massive benefit of hiring a styled home for your shoot means that we’re able to capture a huge variety of images, that are beautifully cohesive.

Here’s one of my favourite photoshoot locations in Northern NSW, Pure-Li Yoga, which is nestled in Clunes (northern close to Byron Bay).

The owner Lise has the most wonderful eye for style and eclectic taste. The property has the vibrant colours and textures everywhere you turn, making it an awesome location for capturing lots of variety.

Here’s a peek of what the property has to offer below:

My shoot with Leonie Dawson was hands down the most fun I’ve EVER had behind the lens!

What made this shoot so damn enjoyable?

Firstly, it was such a breath of fresh air to spend time with someone who’s so grounded, content and happy in their own skin. Leonie is so unapologetically “Leonie” luminous, technicolored, a hippy at heart and oh so hilarious.

All clients who do a branding shoot with me get to choose their own photos. Here's what my workflow is like, once I get home from a shoot:

Keiarna is hands down one of the most lovely, genuine and chameleonesque (is that even a word?!) women who just keeps on reinventing herself!
