Without professional photos my business just wasn’t going to grow

When you get a testimonial that says “I realised that without professional photos my business just wasn’t going to grow” it’s just too good not to share…

So todays post is by Claire Lockey , and it’s all about her experience of The BRANDING DAY.

“I spent 2.5 year’s of trying not to share photos of myself to promote my business. Then I realised that without them my business was just not able to grow in the way that I wanted. 

Investing in business

I’m someone who hates having their photograph taken. In fact I will pretty much do anything to avoid being in front of the camera. So I knew I was going to struggle and that the key to getting some half decent photographs was finding the right person.

I’d watched Maryanne on social media for a while and her down to earth personality and the different women she was working with, gave me the confidence. Maryanne was the lady for me. 

After a few months of putting it off I finally committed and booked a branding day shoot with Maryanne in a gorgeous house in York. 

I didn’t know what to expect from the day. But from the minute I got there I was put at ease. I spent an hour in the safe hands of hair and make up lady Chrys.

When it came to having my photos taken Maryanne was so kind and patient with me. She teased smiles out of me, reassuring me as we chatted and moved around the property. 

Relaxed photoshoot experience

It was a lovely relaxed experience and I didn’t feel rushed in anyway.

Maryanne took on board my request for the different kinds of photos I wanted. And her experience and natural ability shone through as she suggested different poses and set ups to suit my brand.

The photos came back quickly and with 180 to choose from I certainly have plenty to be getting on with!

Natural and beautifully shot,the photos are the perfect addition to my marketing. In fact I’ve already seen an improvement in my engagement since I’ve started using them (as well as lots of compliments!).

I will be booking another shoot with Maryanne in the Summer and I know these will be even better than the first. As I will have our past experience to draw on and a more definite idea of what I require.  

If you are putting off having photos or feeling anxious about having professional photos taken, I can’t recommend Maryanne and her branding day experience enough.

Get them booked, you won’t regret it!”.

Thank you <3

Hi There!

Meet Maryanne

I’m a 40 (ahem something…) year old Yorkshire woman.

I’ve been self employed for 10 years (and a photographer for 18) and I totally understand how difficult it is to be visible in business.

Whether that’s because of a lack of self confidence, feeling a bit frumpy or the physical side effects of peri-menopause (hot sweats and forgetfulness anyone) – I promise you I’ve seen it all and still get great photos at every photoshoot.

I honestly feel so honoured when people book me, because they believe that I really want the best outcome for you. There’s no point having a fancy photoshoot if it doesn’t feel authentic to you.

My aim for every shoot is to get photos and video that you actually want to share… and I’ll be there in the side lines cheering you on!
