    “I recently had a photoshoot with Lisa and I couldn't be happier with the result. The photos are brilliant - I love the lighting and the finish on them. They look natural yet glossy at the same time. They also fulfil the brief perfectly (I wanted fun, friendly and approachable) and somehow Lisa did this. We had so many to choose from. One of the best photoshoots I've ever had.”

    “I did a personal branding shoot with Lisa and absolutely loved how the photos came out! They're some of my favourite images I've ever had taken of me. Lisa is brilliant at making you feel comfortable and the whole process is so smooth and professional. I'm usually quite harsh on myself when I see photos of me but I instantly loved them and I think that a lot of it was down to how comfortable I felt on the day! I'd highly recommend having your brand shoot with Lisa”.

    “Receiving my personal brand images from Lisa was like receiving a gift I got excited to open. The shoot was fun, creative and so comfortable and you could see all those aspects in the images. Lisa took time to insure the space would work well for what I needed and in line with what I wanted. The time taken in planning, prepping and executing was awesome! I definitely recommend having a personal brand shoot with Lisa!”

    “I loved my personal brand photoshoot session with Lisa! Lisa put a lot of prep into the photoshoot to get the most out of the session and really listened to my requirements. She made the shoot feel really informal and fun! I love my pictures and they are going to really help my business! Thank you Lisa - I would absolutely recommend you.”

    “Lisa goes above and beyond any photographer I have ever worked with. She made herself available before the shoot day to help me prepare, discuss ideas and make sure we were on the same page. (She also has experience in brand design which means she brings some really useful insight to the process.) This made me feel excited and confident going into the shoot. On the day she was friendly, hospitable, patient and has a real eye for capturing the image you are after. She was very efficient after the shoot in getting all the shots uploaded for me to look through and getting my shots edited. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

    Lisa Violino | Knolita Cooks

    “Had an absolute blast working with Lisa on my 'Starter Branding Portrait Session'.
    From the initial consultation call to choosing the right locations, it was all really well planned. I was sent a pre-shot check list and information about what to expect and bring. Whilst I'm not usually a fan of having my picture taken, its so important for a small business to show themselves as authentically as possible, Lisa took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve. I am really pleased with the results. Will definitely recommend Self Made and Seen.”

    “Thank you Lisa for a great experience during my mini branding session. I wanted to get some images of myself that were professional yet fun and playful as this is relevant to my brand. Lisa's shooting style is fun and relaxed. She helped me prepare by sending a guide beforehand and sending me a lovely text on the day of the shoot. Lisa asked me what I wanted to get out of the session. As well as listening and incorporating my idea of what props I wanted to use in my photos, she had lots of ideas for poses and chose great locations to shoot in. My photos have come out exactly how I wanted and Lisa has been friendly and informative throughout. My family members have also commented on how lovely the photos are. As a small business, it can be daunting putting yourself out there as the face of your brand. However professional photos make a difference. Thank you Lisa!”

    “It was a great session with Self Made and Seen. Highly recommend and I came away with some great photos. You can’t tell I hate the camera from the photos. Thank you Lisa for making it such an enjoyable experience despite the weather, which by the way is again not apparent from the photos. Lisa is a star!”

    Jacqueline Wagner | Way Over Wonderful

    “Absolutely fantastic mini branding shoot with Lisa! The whole experience was delightful. With those excellent photos, I feel much more confident to show my face online! Over the years I had several attempts at getting a decent photo for my website, but Lisas are definitely the best. So much so, that I bought all 14 photos Lisa had sent to choose from.
    I loved:
    - Before the shoot, Lisa sent me a prep document, that was super helpful to choose the right kind of outfit and make sure the photos are successful.
    - Throughout the shoot Lisa was great at creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
    - Resulting in fantastic photos, that are much better than hoped for.
    Thank you so much Lisa!”
