Sadia Ghazanfar - Leadership Coach
Sadia Ghazanfar, the visionary behind Slay Your Dragons, is a leadership coach and mentor supporting career-driven women to slay self-doubt and rise with courage, clarity, and compassion. Her programs, courses, and workshops embrace humanity, resilience, and deep personal transformation.
She reached out to me for Personal Brand Photography that would truly reflect her essence. It was important to Sadia that we showcase the grounded warmth, soulful presence, and authentic self-expression she brings to her coaching.
Sadia booked The Brand Story Experience to benefit from multiple layers of support that prioritise getting to know the human behind the brand, before delving into visual creation.
This is an essential part of the process to ensure that the work we make, is truly aligned with your future.
For Sadia, this looked like:
Patient, collaborative process
From planning to execution, the approach was gentle, thoughtful, and centred Sadia’s comfort and true self, just as she does for her own clients.
Creative partnership
We nurtured a photographic space where Sadia could relax, show up fully, and allow her confidence to shine through unobstructed.
Intimate, authentic portraits
Captured in her home environment and favourite park to evoke comfort and vulnerability - our portraits highlight Sadia as approachable, radiant, and trustworthy
Soulful, editorial storytelling
Each image is artfully crafted to combine editorial styling and lifestyle visuals with emotional sensitivity to reflect Sadia’s grounded, intuitive style. Our images show Sadia’s hobbies as well as her work to provide a well-rounded story that her audience will resonate with.
Now, Sadia’s website is full of portrait and lifestyle images that show her true self, lending power and honesty to her brand presence.
“It took me years to have my brand photos taken because I wasn’t connecting with the images that I was seeing from other photographers. I yearned for something different. I found Celie on Instagram and instantly fell in love with her soulful, storytelling and editorial style.
I found Celie to be patient, fun, collaborative. thoughtful and sensitive. The process from start to finish was seamless and thoroughly enjoyable and that’s testament to Celie’s character. She instantly made me feel at ease when she came to my home to photograph me. Because of that, she captured my true essence and I’m delighted with the photographs!
Thank you, Celie. Our day together last year was one of my favourite days during a tough personal year. I now have stunning photos that capture that day AND help me show up in my business as the real me.”
