D.I.Y. Brand Visibility
I know you want to elevate your brand visibility in a way that best represents your business.
Is this course right for you?
It is if you want to stop relying on generic, overused stock photos, and start creating your own branded images that represent your products & services.
Grab your smartphone. Let me show you how.
What will you experience:
If you are a small business owner, entrepreneur, podcaster, course creator, presenter or maker, then you are your brand.
A brand does not start with fonts and colours, it starts with you, and showing up as yourself in your business is key.
As a brand photographer I recommend you find someone in your area you trust to provide you with a high quality gallery of images you can use to be face forward in your marketing.
And for those times you want to
- showcase a new product or service
- share a behind the scenes story
- feature a photo to your blog
- add a fresh photo for your social media or website
D.I.Y. it!
For those that don't need the full Post with Purpose, these are condensed lessons found in the complete signature course (plus a few extra that go a little deeper).
In this course we will cover:
- my favourite photo tips, from lighting to selfies
- setup demo of flat-lay photography
- demo shoots with both a smartphone camera and pro digital camera
- demo of the free Lightroom Mobile camera and editing for any smartphone brand
- intro to brand styling in Canva
- custom branded graphics in Canva
- B-Roll video to Reels, in Canva & Instagram
- BONUS: captivating Captions for social media
Kind Words from Past Students
Clearly Allison knows her stuff and is great at not only photography but also TEACHING others how to utilise her techniques to show our products.
Allison's class is both practical & engaging. Even with a tool that I use on a daily basis, Allison taught me several functions I wasn't familiar with. I recommend her as both a photographer and a teacher.
Allison recently put on what is, in my opinion, one of the best live demos of effective smartphone photography for social media. Her presentation was perfect for different level of smartphone users. She covered both the basics and more advanced features one can use to get stellar photography. But what really blew me away was the ease at which she performed her live demo, along with a wonderfully charming narration that had the whole crowd smiling. She knows her stuff, and is obviously very thoughtful about how she can teach others her wisdom!

Kind Words from Past Students
Allison helped me understand the importance of social media, and posting with purpose. With her help I was able to make a calendar that made sense to me, and was easy for me to visualize what and when I was posting. I was able to learn the post photo taking techniques, with just using my phone.
Amazing! Starting a new business can be overwhelming. My largest hurdle was the fear of putting myself out there on social media and figuring out how to do it in a way that I was comfortable and also reached people. I went from being unable to post on social media without losing sleep and dreading it, to being able to make a plan and most of the time make it happen. While I am still learning to be completely comfortable, I am actually excited about getting better and seeing my business grow. If you struggle with social media and want to take the next step with your business I highly recommend this. It has changed my attitude and how I do things.
As a new entrepreneur laying the foundation for branding, content and imagery can be intimidating! Now I'm starting with the greatest calendar to plan out content (I wish I had this a few months ago!!).
Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned pro, this social media calendar is the bomb and will save you HOURS of content planning!

FAQ's: POST WITH PURPOSE
Through Photography & Social Media
Hi, I’m Allison. Personal Brand Photographer, Social Media Coach & Founder of Dandelion Digital.
In 2020, at 49, I started a new business. I had just moved cross-country, to a new city with no connections. Months later, we were all locked down.
This provided an opportunity to coach other female business owner (on zoom) how they could better use Facebook and Instagram to reach their clients and customers when they couldn't be in person.
I have taken my experience and the information given to private clients, workplace education seminars and conferences, and built an online learning experience.
I know you want to stand out on social media with consistent, on brand content and scroll stopping images that showcase you and your business. I work with entrepreneurs to post with purpose through photography & social media.
The complete workflow in Post with Purpose starts with consistency. Develop your ICA. Understand your content topics and plot your calendar. Build your brand visibility with mobile photography & custom graphics to stop the scroll. Put it all together with captions, stories and calls to action that bring in engagement.
Let's Get Focused. Let's Post with PURPOSE.
