Whether you're updating your website, refreshing your social media presence, launching a new business or building a personal brand, Tanika works with you to create imagery that feels genuine, approachable and aligned with your business.
More than just a headshot session, branding photography is about telling the story of who you are, what you do and why clients choose to work with you.

I’ve lost count now how many photoshoots I have done for Dr Tanya skincare and clinic.
This time we were photographing Dr Tanya herself, her branding/profile shots. We were able to use their Hope Island clinic, rather than hiring out a photography studio. My photoshoots include professional photography lighting, so I can always bring everything we need with me.

After doing lifestyle photography for Sienna’s new interview series, I was so thrilled they asked me to shoot their latest campaign.

The latest shoots for my beautiful best friend’s hair salon, Moosh Hair Studio. I love watching this team grow, and the happy faces I get to photograph in this space. The new fit-out is wonderful and so great to photograph it finally. This is a ‘content’ shoot, where we capture as much as possible, ‘head shots’, candid photos, interior and space shots as well as product flay lays. Using what we have there as much as possible, to make it quick and easy, to give our clients photos they can use for the next 2 months.
A Coolangatta Hair salon, with beautiful natural light streaming through most of the day, a pleasure to capture in my home town.
This shoot entailed interior, exterior, street side … and branding shots of the owner and her staff.
Always a pleasure working with this creative lady. This shoot was featured in Adore Home Magazine and photographed at a beautiful Airbnb in Mullumbimby.
What a wonderful surprise to arrive to this shoot with magical sunlight beaming through the windows! (the shoot was organised very last minute the day before).
A great team, and awesome space for this bubbly business.
It was nice to see just how much I have learnt and taught myself in the past 12 months … for the past 7 years that I have had my business I have always offered a lot of different services …
A plumbers photo shoot? … yes please, I was surprisingly excited about this one. I think it’s the fact that these kind of businesses are taking their marketing seriously these days, and being able to put a creative and designer brand to their business is so great!
This is my best friends, Tegan’s thriving hair salon, Moosh Hair Studio, located on the southern end of the Gold Coast. Both Tegan and I were both so happy with this last collection of photos of her beautiful team and the stunning space Tegan has made possible for their clients.
You may have already seen the website I put together for Lisa and her new business ‘The Hair & The Honey’ … it’s a hair salon that specialises in ‘hair extensions’ … we launched the website before she’d opened her salon doors, so that she could start taking bookings, we filled the website with a variety of photos from ‘Unsplash’ until the salon was complete and I was able to photograph her beautiful new space for her.
It was such a pleasure to be asked by these 2 beauties to photograph their new hair salon in Rainbow Bay, The Bay Hair Co. Jacinta Platt did all the interior design work, a stunning job as always … and she was there on the day, to style it up to suit the photoshoot.
For this branding shoot for Northern Rivers builders, Muskens Building Co, we were organised to start the shoot as the trades started with sunrise.

the team working
‘in progress’ shots of the interior and exterior of this build
headshots of each team member
group photos of the whole team
drone photos of the position of this project
I was able to deliver over 120 photos, and a 30 sec video for this client, with in the 2 hr branding shoot package.
