Branding Experience
Your Portrait Session is a Completely Customised Experience
Your branding experience is more than just a photo shoot—it’s a journey to capture your story, your essence, and your professional identity. This page is designed to answer all your questions about what to expect on the day of your shoot, from the initial planning stages to the moment you see your stunning images for the first time. Whether it’s creating portraits that exude confidence or crafting a video narrative that brings your brand to life, every detail is tailored to ensure you feel prepared, empowered, and celebrated throughout the entire process.
Is Hair & Make-Up included?
YES! Your portrait session includes a full professional hairstyling & make-up session designed to bring out your natural beauty even more.
How can I prepare my Portrait Experience?
I have an excellent list of good vendors to help you with everything from root touch ups, hair cuts, eyebrows, facials. Anything you need done, just email us michellebailie.co.za
What is included in your Portrait Experience?
An in-person or online meeting to get to know you better and prepare you for your customised photo shoot.
A professional hair and make-up session.
An unforgettable photo experience set in the comfort of a studio (there are three gorgeous studios you can choose from and will be discussed in our discovery call) with gentle coaching in poses that flatter and make you feel your most beautiful and confident. An empowering branding experience you’ll want to experience at least once in your life!
In this package, we go beyond traditional photography to capture the essence of your work and personality through a captivating video narrative. Lee, my videography partner, will join us for part of the shooting time to document the non-posed moments that truly bring your brand to life. Whether it’s flipping through a book, opening your laptop, or engaging with a “client,” we’ll create a narrative that authentically represents your brand.
Package Highlights: A personalised Photo Reveal session to see your beautiful portraits finished and ready to take home and to re-discover your powerful essence in your beautiful images. You only purchase what you love.
Can I bring a friend?
Of course! Celebrate all those special relationships in your life! Book a double Portrait Experience with your sister, mom, daughter, son, partner, colleague or best friend. Just notify us ahead of time for scheduling purposes.

Should I go tanning before my Portrait Experience?
We’d highly recommend avoiding tan lines – these will show up in your photos! However, if you book your spray tan appointment, be sure you don’t wash your hands for 8+ hours or you’ll have white hands and a tanned body.
