Headshots & Branding Photography Auckland
For people who want to stand out, be seen & own their space
You don’t want stiff, corporate photos that look like everyone else. You want imagery with personality, colour and energy — photos and video that actually feel like you and attract the kind of clients you want to work with.
My branding shoots are perfect for:
• Creatives and designers
• Architects and engineers
• Coaches and consultants
• Performers and entertainers
• Entrepreneurs and personal brands
• Businesses that are modern, progressive and people focused
If you want imagery that helps you look confident, approachable and impossible to ignore, you’re in the right place.
A Relaxed, Guided and Fun Experience
Being photographed can feel intimidating — especially if you don’t love being in front of the camera. That’s completely normal, and that's why the experience matters just as much as the photos.
Clients often tell me they arrive feeling nervous and leave saying they really enjoyed the shoot.
Before your session, I’ll help you plan outfits, locations and props so everything feels cohesive and aligned with your brand.
During the session, I guide you every step of the way so you never feel awkward or unsure about what to do. We keep things relaxed, collaborative and full of laughs so your personality comes through naturally.
When you feel comfortable and confident, and you're being yourself — that’s when the best photos happen.
INDIVIDUAL STUDIO HEADSHOTS & BUSINESS PORTRAITS
Professional studio headshots and business portraits for individuals and teams who want to look polished, approachable and confident.
Your headshots will work everywhere you show up — your website, LinkedIn, social media, speaker profiles, press features and marketing material.
You’ll be photographed in my Titirangi studio in West Auckland using white or black backdrops — or bold colour backdrops like yellow, orange and pink if you want something more eye-catching and modern.
I’ll guide you through posing and expression so you look natural, relaxed and completely yourself.
Personal Branding Photography
Your personal branding shoot is designed to show your personality, style and energy.
Before your shoot we’ll plan the vibe, locations, outfits and visual direction so your images attract the right clients and reflect your and your brand.
Your shoot may include:
• portraits out on location and in your workspace
• behind-the-scenes moments of you working

We absolutely love working with Mala! Mala has worked with Rose Optometry for the past few years, and we have always been thrilled with her work. Our head shots are vibrant and alive and the photos she has taken for the practice are fabulous examples of Optometry in action. Mala has a creative energy that makes you feel that she is creating something very special just for YOU! And just quietly ..... she is. Love your work Mala
Jo Pennell, Rose Optometry
I recently had a personal branding shoot with Mala, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Mala was fantastic at directing me into poses that complemented my body type and brand and helped me put together outfits that made the colours pop. She was kind, encouraging, and made the whole experience enjoyable. These are the best branding images I've ever had. If you're looking for someone who knows how to bring out the best in you and your brand, I highly recommend booking a shoot with Mala
