As professional brand portrait photographer based in Brighton, I have been asked again and again; “when it the right time to invest in the professional brand photography and videography when you have an online business”?
The answer is not a straight forward as each online business owner, freelancer, entrepreneur or side hustle is at different stage of visibility journey.
Yet….
The truth is never too early to show up, be real, be honest and let our true selves and behind of scenes our business to be seen online.

If you have answered any of below with “YES” …than maybe now is a good time to invest in the professional brand photos and videos for your social media channels and website:
