Photo shoot styling
Investing in a photo shoot is a big deal! But it might feel scary stepping out of your comfort zone. Instead of feeling stuck or overwhelmed with outfit choices, I'll take the stress out of planning what to wear. With my help you'll feel - and look - the best version of yourself.
Combining my styling expertise and extensive brand marketing background, I'll help you show up on camera authentically and in a way that's aligned with your business or personal brand. I'll help you build trust with your audience and attract your ideal clients with an image that represents you, on a really good day!
With stylish head-to-toe outfits working in harmony with your location, you'll be so happy with your photos you'll be sharing them everywhere for years to come.
What's included
- Recommendations on the best colours and styles for your colouring and body shape. These come in a 16+ page digital mini-magazine 'Look Book' and can be used to enhance your style for work and off-duty looks now and in the future.
- A review of relevant documents about your business mission, brand identity and/or target clients. You can also share your photography brief and/or mood board. I'll ensure your personal style aligns well with these.
- A 1-hour consultation (online or in person) to review items in your wardrobe, identifying potential looks for the shoot and gaps or tweaks to achieve your desired image.
- 6 x visual outfit inspiration boards, with head-to-toe personalised styles in complementary colour palettes that you can use for your shoot and beyond. Each mood board features shoppable clothes to co-ordinate with your existing pieces.
Why work with me
Gentle approach: I'll never make you feel embarrassed about your style or forced into clothes that aren't "you". My mission is to help you enjoy the preparations so you can radiate confidence at your shoot and come away with gorgeous photos that you'll love forever.
Pragmatic: We'll combine existing gems from your wardrobe with new pieces that take your style up a notch. New purchases can be returned after the shoot to keep costs down. Think of it as an extended trying on session!
Collaborative: Wherever you are based, we can work together remotely very easily using video calls and photo sharing sites. I'm happy to collaborate with your photographer too. If you're based near me in Surrey/London/Hampshire we can meet in person.
Expertise: In my earlier marketing career I worked on countless TV commercials and photo shoots. Whatever your personal brand stands for and whatever you want to communicate through your imagery, I can enhance your style to connect with your audience.
Client testimonial - Rebecca, Bridal Hair & Make-up Artist
"I discovered Ali on Instagram, and was instantly attracted to her upbeat personality and helpful tips. I was feeling overwhelmed by my upcoming shoot and the disarray of my closet, containing clothes that didn't fit any longer, were worn or outdated. So I decided to hire her to give me the whole makeover!
I am so glad I did! She delivered!! The process was quick and effortless. The initial phone call got us started, and she described her offerings well. She provided several options, which made it easy to decide on what package I needed.
The outfit inspiration boards were SO helpful, and I can already see, even though the shoot is completed, that I will refer to these boards over and over again. I loved what Ali styled, she got MY style!
My photographer loved what Ali put together, and the photos are fantastic! I'm so happy with the freshen-up."
