"What sets Aimee apart is that she's not just a photographer—she genuinely understands branding and marketing. She was instrumental in helping me put together the brief itself, asking the right questions about how I wanted to show up, where the images would be used, and what story I was trying to tell. If you're looking for a personal branding photographer in Auckland who combines technical skill with genuine brand strategy and a relaxed, collaborative approach, I highly recommend Aimee."

"With a comprehensive background in marketing (corporate to SME) Aimee quickly understands the requirements to craft photos that align with your brand. She is adaptable and skilled and will not start a shoot until she clearly understands your end goals. Aimee, made it fun and easy to ‘snap’ some fabulous photos of me, including making me look pretty darn good (not an easy task – hehe). Naturally, I’d highly recommend Aimee for your next photo shoot."

"Our barrister's chambers had photos taken previously by a photographer who took traditional and ‘stuffy’ photos – we wanted a different approach. Aimee’s photos were fresh and modern, and her use of natural light was much more flattering. We each received a generous selection of photos. Many of us were nervous about having our photos taken, especially since our photos were going to be taken outside in public and since we had a bad experience last time. Aimee made us feel relaxed and I think that was reflected in our photos."
Olivia Manaton, Cornerstone Chambers

"This photo shoot was such a pleasure! We felt so comfortable and relaxed, and it truly shows in the results. The photos are absolutely incredible — the best we've had! We're beyond happy with how everything turned out."

"Aimee was amazing. This was my daughter's first ever acting headshots. Total professionalism and made my daughter feel so comfortable with her craft. Also loved that the makeup artist, Greer was available. It is well worth booking Greer to make the moment extra special. Amazing experience, thoroughly recommend!"

FAQS
-
Absolutely. You don't need to know how to pose or perform for the camera. I'll guide you through natural movement and posing throughout the shoot, so you can relax and look like yourself.
-
Headshots give you a professional portrait for LinkedIn, a speaking engagement or a book jacket.
Personal brand photography goes further, combining portraits with lifestyle, working and behind-the-scenes images that show who you are and what it's like to work with you.
Every Personal Branding session includes headshots, but a Headshot session doesn't include the wider range of brand imagery.
Actor’s Headshots sessions are specifically designed around what top New Zealand agencies and Casting Directors are looking for in casting headshots.
-
How much you pay for a Personal Branding photo session will depend on a few things, including:
the assortment and diversity you require in your image set.
how much strategic planning goes into the session.
what else is included on shoot day (e.g. professional hair and makeup, venue hire).
The average spend with me for a Personal Brand shoot is about $2300.

That depends on your goals for your session. If you just need a few strong casting headshots a smaller package might suit you. But if you want a more comprehensive shoot including a variety of headshots and expressive portraits then my Signature Pro Headshots package will likely suit you. You can see the prices for these sessions here.
-
Rest assured, you will get an extensive guide filled with wardrobe advice when you book.
Confidence, comfort and on-brand style are all key considerations for Personal Branding, while simple neutrals and clothing that communicates your casting type is important for Actor’s Headshots.
