I have used many professional photographers over the years and Fiona Tomlinson is by far the best of them, hands down, in terms of both her photography and her personal and professional approach.
I first met Fiona through the Woman’s Day when she photographed me for my new magazine column. She has since done five shoots for me: a mix of magazine shots, professional branding photos and portraits of me and my daughter, Samantha.
If I had to sum up Fiona’s talent in one sentence, it would be her unique ability to get the best out of people. Fiona is very friendly and down to earth, which makes you feel relaxed and at ease, because let’s face it, most people don’t like having their photo taken! From that very first photo shoot, I quickly learned that I could place ultimate trust in Fiona to ensure that I looked my absolute best. She knew all the tricks to maximise my best features and to hide or minimise the fat rolls and extra chins!
Fiona does a range of photography work covering magazines, commercial, babies, weddings and pets. She is based in Auckland, New Zealand but happy to travel with her work.
Fiona took the photos used in my branding above. If your business is about you, and/or “you” are integral to the products or services you offer, I thoroughly recommend having a professional photograph of yourself incorporated into your branding. As they say, a picture paints a thousand words…. a potential client can tell a lot about you by seeing what you look like.
