A personal branding photoshoot with BaLuca Media in Sydney includes a Zoom planning call with moodboards and a shot list, a fully guided 2-hour session with 2–3 outfit changes, and a private online gallery within 48 hours. Packages start from $950 and include 25 professionally edited images for your website, LinkedIn, and social media.
Here’s exactly what happens at every stage — so you know what you’re walking into before you book.
Step 1: The planning call
Every shoot starts with a Zoom call and a questionnaire — before the camera ever comes out. We talk about your business, your audience, and where the images will live: your website banner needs different photos than your Instagram feed.
Together we build a moodboard and shot list, so on shoot day there’s no guessing. This is also where we choose your location — our Miranda studio, your home or office, a co-working space, or an outdoor location around Sydney. Each option creates a different feel, and we’ll match it to your brand.
If you’re a coach, consultant, therapist, or service professional, this is where we work out how to show your way of working — not a generic “professional at laptop” look.
Step 2: Preparing for the shoot
You’ll plan 2–3 outfit changes with guidance from us — solid colours that complement your brand palette work best. Bring the tools of your trade too: laptop, notebook, your products, whatever tells your story.
Hair and makeup is included — we work with a professional hair and makeup artist, or you’re welcome to organise your own. Either way, you arrive and everything is handled.
Step 3: The shoot — 2 hours, fully guided
Here’s the thing our clients are most surprised by: no one expects you to know what to do.
The session is fully guided from the first frame — where to look, what to do with your hands, when to move. Our job is to create a safe, relaxed, genuinely fun environment where the nerves dissolve and the real you shows up. Most clients tell us they forget the camera is there within the first twenty minutes.
If you’ve been putting off a shoot because you “hate being photographed” — you’re exactly who this process was designed for.
Step 4: Your gallery — within 48 hours
Within 48 hours of your shoot, you receive a private online gallery to choose your favourites. Once you’ve selected, your 25 final images are professionally edited and delivered within 3–5 days — colour, light, and refinement, never over-editing.
That’s a complete turnaround of about a week from shoot day to finished library.
Step 5: Your final image library
You walk away with a versatile set: headshots, lifestyle shots, working shots, and details — enough variety to fuel your website, LinkedIn, media kits, and months of social content without repeating yourself.
What does it cost and how long does it take?
Personal branding sessions start from $950, including the planning call, hair and makeup, a 2-hour guided session, and 25 edited images. From booking to final delivery, allow around two weeks — with the images themselves arriving within a week of your shoot.
