Affordable Brand Photography for New Businesses

Affordable Brand Photography for Start-ups and New Businesses.

When you first start up your business you enter a world filled with new things to learn. Websites, social media, PR and marketing to name just a few.

And then a few other things occur to you… like you’re creating this fancy new website but people are going to want to actually see who you are too.

And then there’s all the profile photos on social media and how every one and their labradoodle is telling you that YOU. NEED. TO BE MORE VISIBLE.

And you hear about Personal Branding Photography and you know that photography is expensive because the last time you had photos was your wedding.. and you nearly choked when you saw how much it cost.

However it doesn’t have to be expensive.

Sure, if you’re wanting a bespoke shoot, in a fancy location and need to buy an entire new wardrobe the costs soon add up. But there is another way.

Affordable branding photography is not only achievable but also essential for start-ups and new businesses aiming to carve out their niche in a competitive landscape.

Here are some reasons you should consider it and how to make it affordable for you.

The Value of Branding Photography for Start-ups

Branding photography isn’t just images (ahem… I mean it literally is but it’s so much more); it’s about crafting a visual story that resonates with your target audience, showcasing the uniqueness of your brand.

It’s an opportunity to make a memorable first impression, build trust, and foster an emotional connection with potential customers.

The visual content created through branding photography becomes a versatile asset across all marketing channels. From your website to social media platforms, enhancing consistency and recognition.

Debunking the Cost Myth

The idea that branding photography is prohibitively expensive stems from a misunderstanding of its scope and the benefits it delivers.

Yes, quality comes at a price, but the investment yields returns through increased engagement, customer trust, and ultimately, conversions.

Moreover, many photographers offer flexible packages ( including me) tailored to the needs and budgets of start-ups and new businesses, ensuring that you get the best value for your investment.

How to Achieve Affordable Brand Photography

  1. Prioritise Your Needs: Start by identifying the key images you need to launch your brand. A focused approach allows you to maximize the impact of a limited number of photos. Ensuring you cover essential aspects like portraits, product shots, or lifestyle images.
  2. Explore Package Deals: Many branding photographers offer packages specifically designed for start-ups and new businesses. These packages often include a set number of images at a reduced rate. Making professional photography accessible without breaking the bank (keep reading…below).
  3. Think Long-Term: Consider the broader application of your branding photos. Investing in versatile images that can be used across various marketing materials and platforms ensures a higher return on your investment.

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!
