Branding Session with Holistic Coach Alana

Our full day of Brand photography with Alana in West Auckland was an absolute joy from start to finish. As a holistic coach dedicated to empowering others to take charge of their health and wellbeing, Alana wanted her branding photos to reflect several key aspects of her life and work. After an in-depth Planning Session, we honed in on four primary focus areas:

  1. Family Time
  2. Coaching Life
  3. Personal Wellbeing & Exercise
  4. Eating Healthy

During our planning, we curated inspiration on Pinterest, selected the perfect locations, and outlined everything needed for the session. Given Alana’s deep connection to the beaches of West Auckland, we kicked off the day with a morning session at Piha Beach. There, we captured beautiful, candid family photos with her husband and two lovely daughters, embracing the natural beauty of the beach.

Next, we moved on to capturing images focussing on Personal Wellbeing. The serene backdrop of Piha Beach served as the perfect setting for lifestyle shots of Alana reflecting and meditating by the shore. We then transitioned to the Piha Café, where we documented Alana in her element, working on her coaching practice amidst a cozy, inspiring environment.

Alana’s beautiful home, which overlooks the stunning Waitakere Ranges and the beach, was our next stop. We captured her engaging in her daily wellness routine out on the deck, emphasizing the importance of balance and mindfulness in her life.

Finally, for the Eating Healthy focus, we shifted to Alana’s kitchen, where she prepared delicious smoothies and salads. These images showcased her commitment to nourishing her body with wholesome foods, tying back to her holistic approach to health.

I’m thrilled with how the images turned out, and Alana now has a versatile collection of photos that perfectly represent her brand’s unique essence. Take a peek at some of the incredible shots from our branding session:
