Questions to Ask Your Branding Photographer

Choosing the right branding photographer is pivotal for professionals looking to make a mark in their industry. With the essence of personal branding evolving, ensuring you collaborate with a branding photographer who aligns with your vision is crucial. Here are six vital questions to ask your branding photographer to guarantee your session not only meets but exceeds your expectations.

1. How Do I Know What Looks Flattering? Understanding what attire complements you best can be baffling. My premium package alleviates this stress by including a wardrobe consultation with a professional wardrobe consultant. This expert will guide you through selecting outfits that not only flatter but also align with your brand’s message and values.

2. Can I Bring More Than One Outfit? Variety is the spice of life—and your branding session. Multiple outfits allow for a dynamic range of photos, offering versatility for various platforms and purposes. I encourage bringing several options to ensure we capture the essence of your brand in multiple contexts.

3. Is It Normal to Be Nervous? Absolutely! It’s common to feel jittery about being in front of the camera. Remember, it’s my job to make you feel comfortable and confident. I strive to create a relaxed environment where you can truly shine, capturing your authentic self.

4. Where Is the Branding Session Located? The location of your branding session plays a significant role in conveying your brand’s narrative. Whether it’s your office, outdoors, or a studio space, I utilize platforms like PeerSpace and network with realtors to find ideal locations, such as model homes, that resonate with your brand’s aesthetic and ethos.

5. Is Hair and Makeup Included? Yes, to ensure you look and feel your best, I partner with professional hair and makeup artists. This service is included in my branding sessions, taking the guesswork out of preparing for your shoot and ensuring you look polished and professional.

6. What Should I Bring to My Branding Session? Props can significantly enhance the authenticity of your branding images. Items such as laptops, cell phones, tablets, pens, glasses, and any tools you use in your daily work activities help create a realistic and relatable image of your professional life.

Let’s talk about a few common mistakes that can totally throw off your branding session 👇🏻

❌ Unplanned Outfit Choices

Random, last-minute outfits = a scattered visual message. Your photos should reflect your brand intentionally — not just what's clean in the closet.

❌ No Vision or Direction

If you’re unsure how you want to show up online, your photos will reflect that confusion. A clear brand vision makes all the difference.

❌ Rushing or a Stressed Mindset

Showing up frazzled can impact your energy, your expression, and how confident you feel on camera (and it shows!).

✨Here’s the good news - you don’t have to figure this out alone. I guide you through it all with:

✔️ A pre-session consult to plan every detail

✔️ Outfit and location guidance that fits YOUR brand

✔️ Confidence-boosting prep tips

When we plan it together, you show up feeling calm, prepared, and confident — and that’s when the magic happens. 💫
