hello there
my name is allison clark and I am a brand photographer.
I am a business owner just like you - always trying to figure out what's next. My happy place is helping you stand out visually online, to attract, connect and engage your audience and, grow your business. When you launch something, promote something, hit a goal, I am happy-dancing right along with you! When you work with me, it's like having a bonus team member who is genuinely invested in you and your wins.
​
By photographing a series of "stories" about you, your brand, your products+services, your space, your team [and so on] we will build your very own custom stock photography library of images you can use to up level your print + digital marketing. You'll use these images on your website, in your newsletters, blogs, print + digital marketing, and best of all, you will have LOADS of content for your social media feeds. No more spending hours scrambling about what to post and taking a million selfies hoping to get one that works!
​
Let's grab a coffee and jump on a zoom call, I would love to hear all about YOU, your business, how you are doing right now and, where you want to go next.
What if you had photos of yourself that bring your brand to life - that you actually like, or better still LOVE?
building your brand
​
You might not know it, but YOU are the greatest assest to your brand and YOU are one of the main reasons that clients are going to be attracted to your offering, decide to work with your business and ultimately refer + return again and again.
Part of building a brand that people can identify with is personalizing it. Especially if you are in a saturated industry (hello, I'm a photographer I can relate!), you need to stand out with clear identifiers that people can relate to and remember.
So that means it's time for YOU to SHINE!
think beyond the headshot
A headshot shows people what you look like. A brand session shows who you are, what you do and what is important to your brand.
what's a brand session?
A brand session a professional photoshoot designed to tell the story of you and your brand.
By planning and photographing "stories" of you performing tasks associated with your business we are going to bring the vision you have for your business to life for your potential clients and followers. We can include a variety of things (not limited to) your tools, products or services, your workspace, your community involvement, your clients, even aspects of your personal life (if you choose!).
By using these images in your social media, website and marketing pieces people will:
+ see a clear vision of your brand
+ build trust that you are the authority in your industry or community
+ find ways to relate and CONNECT with you
​
Typically in a half/full day shoot we will create up to 3-6 months worth of content images. We'll have a planning zoom call to plan the location(s), style, wardrobe, accessories/props that will compliment your vision. You'll use these images throughout your website, social media and marketing material - think of it as custom stock photography gallery that is just for YOU. You will proceed to conquer the world, I will be your trusty side-kick!

relaxed + comfortable
You get it. You know it's time to get some professional portraits done. But wait... you don't like having your picture taken.
I hear you. You may feel awkward, don't know what to wear, how to pose, etc. You are probably cringing right now even though you know you need to do this, right? Well, you are in GREAT company - see all those beautiul GENUINE smiles in the gallery above? Yep, they felt the same way, imagine that! That's where I come in...
You'll receive a Getting Ready Guide before your shoot with all kinds of ideas to help you prepare. We'll chat about the look you're going for, I'll help with location ideas and clothing suggestions, etc. Sessions are comfortable and relaxed. During the shoot, we'll laugh, we'll have fun, we'll play music, we'll try different things - whatever it takes! Whether you need 1 or 20 images we will try as many poses as time allows so you have a selection of images to choose the best from in the end.
retouching services
The main thing I get asked is "can you photoshop out my <insert favourite insecurities here>?" Professional retouching services are included in all packages. The goal is for you to look your best but not a completely plastic, surgically altered version of yourself! I do enhance or minimize if necessary to create the best portrait - we don't want anything to distract from your eyes and smile. At the same time you must look like YOU, after all when you meet with clients they must be able to recognize you!

we want similar things (I hope)...
You want to build an on-going relationship with your new and existing clients, and I want to build one with YOU so that as your business grows and changes you have a reliable partner who understands you and is always striving to elevate your brand. I am the team member that you don't have to manage! That means we are going to get to know each other pretty well, and that probably all starts best with a zoom coffee date!
something you should know about me first...
I believe in inclusion and equality for everyone. My services are available to every person celebrating their race, heritage, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity. All are welcome with open arms here. Hatred, racism and ignorance of any kind is not tolerated. I am only looking to partner with heart-centered brands and entrepreneurs that support building a strong, safe, anti-racist, inclusive and prosperous community for everyone.
