Welcome back! In today's episode, I'm diving into the intricacies of planning a photoshoot that aligns with your personal brand and story. I'll be sharing insights from my recent photoshoot and discussing the emotional challenges of being seen. As a personal brand, I think that having aligned authentic photos of ourselves that convey our essence and speak to our ideal clients is one of the most important parts of the branding process. I believe a little planning goes a long way to making a shoot a success instead of winging it on the day and I’m going to be walking you through how to plan yours properly so you’re more calm and confident.
I’ll be discussing:
- Why authentic photos of YOU is so much more powerful than stock imagery
- Why photoshoots are often the most emotionally challenging parts of the branding process and how to navigate the fear of being ‘seen’.
- What the common mistakes are that I often see business owners making with their photoshoots
- How to choose the right photographer whose style matches yours.
- What to consider when it comes to locations, and how the backdrop of your photos impacts the overall colour palette of your website.
- What kind of props you might want to consider incorporating into your shoot
- How to decide what to wear and how many outfits you’ll need
- And how to put together a photoshoot plan so that you know exactly what scenes you need to create during your shoot.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
