WelcomeWhether you’re a small business owner, a freelancer, a blogger, or an instagram influencer, having a uniquely recognizable personal brand is crucial. Your personal brand is what sets you apart you from all the rest in an environment that’s more competitive than ever. It’s how you can instantly communicate your experience, skills, and personality to your potential clients and audience.
A personal branding photography session will help you put your best face forward, tell your story, and solidify your brand. Get ready up level your personal brand! How We WorkOur mission is to provide you with photos that convey who you are; showcase the professional skills, talents, and value you have to offer; and help you stand out from your competition. Here’s how we’ll do that:
1. consultation After you’ve gone through our portfolio and decided you like what you see, set up a free phone or in-person consultation with us. We’ll get to know you better, ask you questions about your story and brand, figure out how we can best serve you, and suggest a customized photo package to best fit your needs. You’ll also have the chance to ask any additional questions you may have. 2. before the shoot Next, we’ll schedule your photoshoot. We’ll choose a location that allows you to express yourself and look fabulous at the same time. We’ll also recommend trusted hair and makeup artists we’ve worked with in the past to help you look and feel your best. Depending on the photography package you choose, we may shoot at multiple locations or have a few outfit changes. We’ll make sure you get plenty of shots you love that perfectly represent you and your brand. |
3. day of the shoot
Not sure of what to wear? That’s okay! Bring 5-6 outfit options on the day of the shoot so you have plenty to choose from. (We’ll even help you decide!) You’ll probably only wind up wearing 2 or 3, but it’s always good to have options!
If you’re typically a little camera-shy, don’t worry. We’ll show you how to pose and we will direct you while you’re in front of the camera. We’ll help you feel comfortable so your natural beauty and personality shine through.
4. after the shoot
Within a couple of weeks of your photoshoot, we’ll deliver your online gallery for you to select your favorites. The number of images you receive will depend on which package you have selected. After the editing of those images is complete, we’ll deliver your final hi-resolution digital files. Then, all that’s left for you to do is share them (and your brand) with the world!

Who Can Benefit?
As Forbes puts it, “Whether you know it or not, you have a personal brand.” In this highly digital, competitive day and age, how you come across to people matters. Building a personal brand is all about controlling the conversation -- intentionally crafting a persona that’s true to you and puts you in the very best light. So, here’s who can benefit from a personal brand photoshoot:
any professional
Having a thoughtful, solidified brand is valuable to any working professional. Your personal brand is what sets you apart from the competition. Having professional yet approachable personal brand photos on your website, social media, and business cards will help other people remember you and get to know you.
small business owners/freelancers
If you own your own business or are self-employed, having a distinct personal brand is everything. It’ll help potential clients connect with you instantly. After all, people don’t want to work with faceless companies -- they want to work with friendly, trustworthy, real people.
influencers/bloggers
A personal branding photoshoot is a great way to build a bank of like-worthy new content for your social media feed, blog, or email newsletters. It’ll also help you connect with your audience on a more personal level.

your outfit(s)
Wear clothes that reflect your personal style and line of work. If you’re a young professional, dress like you would at work. If you’re a fashion-forward influencer, dress the part. Depending on your photography package, you might be able to wear a number of different outfits during your shoot -- so don’t be afraid to dress a little more out-there for one of your outfit changes!
location
Consider choosing a location that reflects your business. Sure, a regular photography studio is great -- but a more unconventional location can really help you stand out as well. Are you a fitness instructor? We’ll get some shots of you at the gym. Are you an artist? We’ll take some photos of you at work on your latest piece in your studio!
props
Tell the story of who you are, what you do, and what you love with the help of a few key props. If you’re a florist, we’ll get some shots of you arranging some blooms. If you’re a food blogger, bring along one of your favorite dishes! Not sure what you could bring along? Think back to your website’s color scheme. Consider bringing props that add a little pop of color that’ll really work with your site. Remember, you don’t want your props to be overpowering in your images but rather to enhance them.
