Corporate Branding Session Ideas

Before planning a corporate branding session, discuss some ideas with your team.  First, think about your mission statement and values.  What are the core values that define the company?  Next, identify your target audience and determine the best way to communicate with that audience.  Where is your target audience and how do they communicate?  Finally, discuss your brand identity (logo, colors, aesthetic) and how that brand translates into communication through marketing (website, social media, etc.).  Once you’ve discussed these topics, you can start to develop a branding strategy that will help you achieve your business goals.

Here are some additional tips for a successful corporate branding session:

  • Start with a clear goal in mind. What do you hope to achieve with this session? Do you want to create a new brand identity, or simply refine your existing one?
  • Involve the right people. The people who attend the session should be representative of your company’s target audience. This will help ensure that the branding strategy is relevant and resonates with your customers.
  • Be prepared to discuss your brand values. What are the things that are most important to your company? These values should be reflected in your branding strategy.
  • Be open to feedback. The branding session is a chance to get input from your team members. Be open to their ideas and suggestions.
  • Don’t be afraid to experiment. There’s no one right way to brand your company. Experiment with different ideas and see what works best for you.

With a little planning and effort, you can create a strong corporate branding that will help you stand out from the competition.

Come along with me as I set up for a headshot + branding session 👇🏻

When you’re just getting started, it’s easy to think you need all the gear before you can take on client work.

You don’t.

For in-office headshots, a solid setup really comes down to a few essentials:
✅ reliable lighting
✅ a strong lens
✅ a backdrop
✅ reflectors to help control light and keep skin tones consistent

That’s how I’m able to create clean, professional headshots—without being in a studio.

And for branding? That’s where I shift.

Instead of a backdrop, I’m using the client’s space—capturing environmental images that feel more natural, personal, and aligned with their business.

Same session, two different approaches—both intentional.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about having more gear…
it’s about knowing how to use what you have.

If your brand hasn’t been updated this year… this might be your sign 👇🏻

Summer is one of the best times to refresh your branding imagery—and most people don’t take advantage of it.

Things tend to slow down just enough to step back and actually look at what your brand is communicating.

And for a lot of businesses, this is when it becomes clear:
→ the photos don’t match the level you’re operating at anymore

A mid-year refresh isn’t about starting over—it’s about making sure your visuals reflect where you are now, not where you were a year ago.

But before you even book new photos… you need clarity.

What do you want your brand to feel like?
How do you want to show up?

That’s exactly why I created my Brand Personality Workbook—to help you define that first, so your photos actually align.

📥 Grab it through the link in my bio, and then let’s plan your next session.
Shooting outdoors doesn’t always mean “perfect lighting.” 👇🏻

One of the biggest challenges with natural light is inconsistency—
skin tones can shift depending on shade, surroundings, and even reflections (hello green grass 👀).

That’s why I use off-camera flash, even outside.

It helps create:
✅ consistent skin tones
✅ balanced lighting
✅ a cleaner, more polished final image

So instead of guessing what the light is doing…
I’m controlling it.

📥 If you’re a photographer trying to figure out lighting + gear, I’ve put together a guide with the setups I actually use—link in bio.
What it looks like behind the camera… vs. what you get 👇🏻

Different sessions, different people, different goals—
but always the same focus: helping you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Headshots, branding, families, seniors, and more… it all comes back to capturing people in a way that actually feels like them.

You don’t need the most expensive gear to be a good photographer.

When I first started, I thought I needed everything—top-tier camera, expensive lighting, all of it.

The reality?

A solid camera and a good lens will take you a long way.

If you’re just starting out, keep it simple:
✨ A versatile zoom lens (24–70mm or 70–200mm)
✨ Gear you can rely on and learn inside and out

And when it comes to lighting—especially outdoors—don’t overinvest too early.

Wind happens. Gear gets knocked over. Things break.

Light is light.

Focus on learning how to use what you have before worrying about upgrading everything.
