AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND
PERSONAL BRANDING & BUSINESS PHOTOGRAPHY THAT GETS YOU NOTICED.
Kiss goodbye to awkward & build a personal brand you’re proud of.
Stop watching your competitors land your dream clients, while you’re stuck doing work you don’t love.
With a marketing & psychology background, I know exactly how to build a cut-through brand … and I’ll make your photo shoot enjoyable, not awkward.
Hi, I’m Aimee.
I help you to position yourself as the go-to expert in your field.
Before slinging a camera full time, I drove the marketing strategy for some incredible brands.
Now I blend marketing insight with photographic expertise to create jaw dropping brand photos that work as hard as you do.
I’m a lifestyle photographer, which means I take authentic images that don’t feel too forced or posey.
I bet you feel un-photogenic and awkward in front of the camera. Don’t worry, I get it! That’s why I ensure you’re well prepared before your shoot and you have easy to follow direction on the day, so you never have to worry about how to pose your hands or whether you’re showing too many chins.
Standout, no matter how camera-shy you feel.

"Working with Aimee has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish! Not only is she a talented and professional photographer, but her patience, flexibility, and genuine warmth made the entire experience so enjoyable. On the day of the shoot, Aimee arrived with a clear vision and an eye for detail. We had chosen two different locations, and she navigated both seamlessly, knowing exactly what to capture and how to bring out the best in each setting. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the natural, vibrant images she produced. The final photos exceeded our expectations and perfectly reflect the spirit of our team and brand. I will definitely recommend Aimee to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and reliable photographer. If you’re looking to elevate your brand with beautiful, meaningful imagery—get in touch with Aimee. You won’t regret it!"

"Aimee's experience and resources set you up for success. Importantly, I felt heard and understood. The shoot itself was relaxed and fun. It's always going to be a step out of your comfort zone, but Aimee was encouraging, highly professional, and empathetic throughout. Above all, Aimee's images are everything I hoped for. She's such a talent! She turned things around in record time and delivered a phenomenal suite of images that capture a range of moods and moments."

"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."

"Aimee has been an incredible partner in supporting us at The Urban Advisory to develop our brand refresh collateral. We've had a series of sessions with her, building our library of content. Her photography is absolutely exquisite, but beyond that she also took the time to deeply understand what we were trying to achieve and what was important to us. We couldn't recommend her highly enough."

“Aimee is both professional and fun to work with, which is a great combination to make you feel relaxed, in capable hands and enjoy having your photos taken. Her creative ability to understand your business, your branding, your vision, and what you want to convey in your photos coupled with her marketing and business knowledge makes her an incredible resource for any entrepreneur.”

“Aimee was amazing to work with! Not only did she take some great shots, the shoot and her service before and after couldn't have been better. What's more, she's a lovely person to deal with. . . and that's important!”

“She was so thorough in the lead up - I felt Aimee really understood my brand and what I wanted to achieve with my images. On the day I was nervous, but she instantly put me at ease. I felt really comfortable and it was actually so much fun I didn't want it to end! The images turned out better than I ever could've imagined, not posed or cheesy but super authentic, warm and beautiful.”

“I was teary eyed with joy when I saw the sneak peeks, thank you for making my heart smile - I never see myself this way and often thought that I wasn't photogenic but the way you've captured me is just precious - grateful for your talent.”

Still wondering if these Personal Brand Photos are right for you?
This is for you if…
👍 You’re a service provider looking to grow your business and attract dream clients with images that show how and why you do what you do.
👍 You’re a coach, author or speaker looking for an authentic way to connect with an engaged audience.
👍 You’re launching or re-branding your website and you need images that align with your values and show what it’s like to work with you.
👍 You’re tired of trying to cobble your brand together from old headshots, selfies and bland stock.
👍 You’re nervous about having your photos taken, so you want to work with a photographer who will make it feel easy and fun.
This is not right for you if…
❌ You just want a couple of quick headshots against your boardroom wall.
❌ You have a business that primarily sells physical product so you want lots of inventory photos.
❌ You’re ready for better, more natural photos but you want them for a whole team (take a look at my Executive Team Headshots days instead).
❌ You’re looking for traditional corporate headshots for a big group (20+ people).
❌ You’d rather pinch pennies and DIY it than invest in your success. I mean, you can cut your own hair too. That doesn’t mean you should.
Want to see exactly what you can expect from a Personal Brand Photoshoot?
Every day without a cohesive brand presence is a missed opportunity to connect with your ideal clients. Don't let outdated visuals hold back your business growth.
Got questions?
-
Ah, the all important question! The main thing is that you wear something you feel confident in! Try everything on a week before (leaving time to fill in wardrobe gaps if needed).
Don’t worry you will get an extensive guide with pages of wardrobe tips and ideas when you book.
You can bring in as many outfit options as you want. I’ll go through them with you and help you choose what will work best on camera and make you look a million bucks.
-
I’ll let you in on a secret—almost everyone feels this way! But I’ve got you!
My years of experience have allowed me to create a seamless, confidence-boosting experience. I’ll gently guide you with easy to follow posing direction that’s made for real people (not models). I’m an expert at finding the best and most flattering light.
Trust me - you’ll find a new level of camera confidence on this shoot allowing us to capture your authentic self.
-
Absolutely. Professional branding photos can elevate your business, attract your ideal clients, and increase your confidence.
The chances are that if you keep trying to DIY your brand with selfies and stock you’ll just end up confusing your messaging and alienating dream clients who won’t see you as being worth their investment.
-
While a quick headshot is great for your LinkedIn Profile it’s not enough to convince your ideal customer that you’re the right fit for them, in the same way that a Signature Personal Brand shoot can.
If refreshing your profile pictures (rather than building a new brand) is your primary goal then the Essentials Only package might suit you.
-
Headshots are usually shot from the bust up and provide a simple, professional image of what you look like.
Whereas Personal Branding incorporates storytelling about who you are and why you do what you do. Personal Branding photos will be a mix of headshots, editorial and lifestyle portraiture that visually illustrates what it’s like to work with you.

When you get in touch I'll send you a location guide to spark ideas. After that we will discuss the options that are best suited to your brand.
That might be your offices and nearby environment, a hired location, or your favourite cafe. I also shoot many branding sessions at my own home which has a neutral, modern aesthetic that is especially well suited to lifestyle brands and authors.

I build simple, effective, SEO optimised Squarespace websites and am a Squarespace Gold Circle Member.
I am also able to audit your existing or DIY website and recommend improvements that will strengthen your branding.

Sure can!
I have a decade of experience in brand strategy and marketing and I’d love to help you finesse your brand.

I photograph Executive Teams of 5-15 who want modern lifestyle headshots.
My signature style uses natural light and real environments, and will require 1/2 - a full day with your team.
You’ll have 25 minutes with my professional hair & makeup artist, and 20 minutes shooting.
Check out this page for details.
For teams of more than 15, I am probably not the right photographer for you.
