More time preparing before the day, means more time having fun, being creative, and getting to work showcasing the dreamboat you are!!
I hope this free checklist helps you see that shoots aren’t scary and preparing for the brand shoot of your dreams doesn’t have to be complicated.

"Chanae is by far one of the best photographers I have ever worked with! Not only is her quality of work impeccable but I couldn’t not fault anything in the process from beginning to end. Chanae was so warm, welcoming and professional. She was incredibly prepared on the day made sure we got all the shots I wanted plus extras! She made me feel so incredibly comfortable and confident in front of the camera and I appreciated how smooth the shoot itself went. My photos came out better than I expected and I received them so quickly! I would absolutely recommend Chanae a million times over to anyone! 10/10!"

Nae truly understood my vision and brought it to life with creative direction, attention to detail, and an incredible eye for capturing my brand's essence. She made me feel so comfortable and confident on the day and the photos turned out absolutely stunning, far exceeding my expectations! They perfectly reflect my personality and style, making it easy for me to showcase my work confidently. I highly recommend Imagery By Nae to anyone looking for top-quality, creative photography."

"IF YOU NEED BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY, NAE IS YOUR GIRL!!! I am seriously blown away by this wonderful human. She was so organised and made the process so simple and easy and FUN! She came to the shoot with my Pinterest board printed out so we could recreate the key shots, and honestly we just had the best time. As for the end result? I’ll let these photos speak for themselves. She is a wizard behind the camera and just the most fabulous of humans. Thank you Nae!!!! xxx"

"I have previously paid for an almost $5k photoshoot and honestly, I don't think the experience was comparable! I felt very comfortable with Chanae and knew what I was in for from the get go - no surprise sales portion at the end like my previous shoot. As for the photos themselves, I think they’re gorgeous and Chanae understood exactly what I was after. She honored any shots I asked for and also took initiative in getting other shots she thought would look good, which is exactly what I think a branding photographer needs to do — I'm sure there are plenty of people who aren’t really sure so giving direction whilst also being able to take direction (when it’s asked) is so key! Thank you Imagery by Nae." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I’ve put off having a branding shoot from the shear fear of standing in front of a camera, trying to be relaxed and trying to portray my brand through photos. There was no “trying” with Chanae though! Nae made my team and me feel comfortable, helped to keep us inspired and excited, kept the energy flowing, encouraged our creativity and our personalities to shine. I can honestly say that I’ll be back for more and am actually looking forward to it. Nae is an artist and an accomplished business woman whose organisation and inspiration ensure a successful opportunity for quality usable images."

"I couldn't be more impressed with how prepared Chanae was for my shoot! We chatted about vibes, she researched my business and got to know me. She whipped up a mood board of inspiration to make sure she was on right page with what I was hoping to achieve. She even brought it with her to the shoot as guidance (which my awkward self really appreciated). On the day she was just so fun to be around and I easily forgot she was there to take photos and not just a friend joining me in the fun! Absolutely blown away by quality of the images LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Cannot recommend Chanae more x"

"I am so impressed and happy with the images I've just received from my personal branding photoshoot with IMAGERY by Nae. Nae's professionalism from the beginning made the whole process a breeze and she has been an absolute delight to work with. During the shoot itself, Nae was very organised and familiar with what I wanted to get out of the shoot, and she made me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera - it was FUN! I can't wait to use these images in my business. Thank you again Nae :)"

"I had a wonderful experience with Nae - she was professional from start to finish. I received a moodboard in the week leading up to the shoot and Nae organised the location for the day. The shoot went smoothly (although it felt like it went so quickly!) and I felt really comfortable with Nae's guidance on posing and props. It was easy to select the final photos from the gallery and I was happy with the editing process as well - Nae was super receptive to any requests. Would definitely work together again!"

"Nae was fabulous and extremely professional throughout the whole process. This was my first branding shoot and she made it so easy for me and my business partner. She was prepped with mood boards so we didn't have to worry about coming up with our own poses. She was accommodating and was a pleasure to work with. Will definitely recommend using her services again!"

"I cannot rave enough about the fantastic experience I had with my branding shoot with Chanae at Imagery by Nae. As a busy financial adviser running a business, I needed someone who could make the process seamless and efficient, and Chanae delivered beyond my expectations. I initially came across her through Instagram and knew immediately from her personal brand that I wanted to work with her. She walks the walk! Once I booked in with Nae, she made the whole process easy to prepare for. She provided example mood boards that I could easily filter through and templates for props. Chanae even offered invaluable advice on my outfit choices, responding promptly to the videos I sent her for suggestions. On the shoot day, everything was efficient, and we ended up with so many amazing photos that it was hard to choose the final ones! I can't wait to do my next shoot with Nae—she was a worthwhile business investment! Thank you, Chanae, for an incredible experience!"

"I have had two branding shoots with IMAGERY by Nae so far and they have both been an incredible experience. From photo ideas to making me feel at ease in front of the camera, to the final gallery - amazing! Nae goes above and beyond. If you are looking for new or updated branding shots, this is your gal! Highly recommend x"

"Working with Nae has been completely seamless and super fun! Before working with Nae, I was DIYing all my social media content for my business. I felt like it made my social media look super unprofessional and wasn't showing off the amazing services I had to offer. Nae has given me the most amazing brand photography (and B-Roll) that I'm honestly obsessed with it. I was a bit nervous having never done a photoshoot like this before but Nae made me so comfortable and confident. I look forward to working with her in the future and would recommend her to any business owner that is wanting amazing and professional brand images and to work with a super fun and relaxed brand photographer that makes you feel confident/relaxed and brings out your brand personality in your images."

"Chanae is so beautiful, she made the whole day seamless, fun and professional. I feel really uncomfortable behind the camera and felt a little out of my comfort zone, but she made the process feel easy and comfortable. If you are looking at getting photos done, I highly recommend her :)"

“Ok so, if you asked me if I loved my gallery/final edits I would say YES! But if you asked me on a deeper level, I would be vulnerable and let you know that I actually got a little teary. The reason being, it is so so so hard to show up authentically in life, especially in a business, specifically one that requires authenticity in order to succeed. However, Nae somehow managed to capture traits core to my being so I am VERY proud to use Nae’s photos to launch & represent my business. Nae is like a little branding, logo, marketing fairy godmother - she really walks whatever journey you’re on with you & I cannot recommend her services enough. Not to mention she is a total joy/delight to be around. Thanks Nae 💖”
