Personal Branding Sessions

What is a personal branding session and who is it for?

It's a private session for business owners, consultants, musicians, authors, bloggers, and anyone else that needs quality photographic images that focuses on them and their product or service. These sessions are a bit less formal and more organic than a standard headshot session. Personal branding sessions are meant to show off your personality and style.

Why is photography important for personal branding?

Many potential customers will choose to use a business, or follow someone that they feel they can connect to. They like feeling as if they already know the person or people they are investing their money or time into. Quality imagery used on your social media and other marketing efforts will help you create that connection with your audience as well as convey a sense of trust and investment in your endeavor. Quirky images of everyday cell snaps have their place but a quality business needs to convey its message with quality photography.

Where do you use images from a personal branding session?

Personal branding photography images can be used on social media, on your website, in your advertisements, or other marketing materials. Basically any place you want to market your business with quality photography.

How does it work?

After you schedule your session I will send you a questionnaire that will help me to understand what you want and/or need from your session. Then we will work together to plan the details of your session such as location, clothing, and props. This preparation will help create the look of your session and lend to the authenticity of your brand.
