Custom Branding Session

Whether you are a small business or a large corporation, your brand encompasses everything you are and do.  Creating a brand that is true to you is an important task and one that helps clients and customers relate to you.  When clients know you and your brand, they trust you.  And trust builds confidence.  When you are building a brand, sometimes it’s helpful to not only have a headshot but additional photos that show you at work.  Clients can relate to the feeling of being in that moment.  They can see how you will interact with them because they see you interacting with others.  Again, familiarity and trust go a long way towards support and confidence in your brand.  With a custom branding session, we tailor the session to create images that represent you and your brand.  These images help build the story of your brand on your website and all of your marketing materials.

Branding for Kristin

Kristin contacted me about a branding session to build a portfolio of images for use on her website.  She has a mission for empowering women.  In fact, her brand is all about positive images for women and building a strong supportive community for women.  We had a fantastic branding session starting with a small group meeting at her church.  She’s working on generating more leads towards speaking engagements so these images are a powerful tool toward this purpose.  Then, we met at my studio for regular headshots and environmental shots with lots of props.  The image of her with her bible and coffee mug are certainly among the favorites.  My most favorite image is the very last one of Kristin with her “worthy” t-shirt and jacket.  It’s relaxed and fun and perfectly sums up her message and mission!  Check out Kristin’s website, Sarai’s Mirror, and give her some love!

When was the last time you updated your headshot? 👀

If your photo is from 10, 15, or even 30 years ago… it’s time.

Using an outdated headshot might seem harmless, but it can actually break trust — especially in professions where connection, credibility, and transparency matter (which is… all of them).

💬 Imagine a client or patient walks in expecting the person they saw online… and barely recognizes you.
It may feel small, but it instantly creates a disconnect.

Here’s the truth:
✅ Your clients want to see the real you.
✅ A recent headshot builds trust and shows you’re showing up with integrity.
✅ If your look has changed significantly (new hair, new role, new energy!) — it’s time.

Keep it current. Keep it real.
And if you’re not sure where to start, I’ve got you. DM me for a free consultation. 📸✨
Pretty pictures aren’t enough.

If you don’t know who your audience is, your branding photos won’t do what they’re supposed to do — build trust, tell your story, and attract the right clients.

Before every branding session, I walk my clients through a strategy call where we get crystal clear on two things:

1️⃣ Who are you speaking to?
2️⃣ What message do you want to send?

Because a realtor needs to connect with buyers and sellers.
An attorney needs to earn trust.
A coach needs to show confidence and approachability.

Intentional imagery makes all the difference.
📸 Let’s create brand photos that actually work for you.

What should you wear for your headshot session?
It depends on how you want to show up.

Your outfit sets the tone — and the right level of polish helps you appear confident, credible, and uniquely you.

Here are 4 levels of formality to help you choose the best look for your headshots 👇🏻

1️⃣ The Modern Suit Jacket
Crisp, structured, and powerful. Perfect for executives, attorneys, and leadership roles.

2️⃣ Soft Professional (No Jacket)
A sleek blouse or polished top with clean lines. Professional without being stiff — great for coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs.

3️⃣ Elevated Casual (Sweaters & Knits)
A fitted knit or stylish sweater gives an approachable, warm, and modern vibe. Ideal for creatives, educators, or small business owners.

4️⃣ Casual Short Sleeve
Simple, solid, and flattering. Feels relaxed but still polished — great for wellness pros, lifestyle brands, or startup teams.

✨ Quick Styling Tips:
– Stick to solid colors that flatter your skin tone
– Skip busy prints & distracting accessories
– Choose wrinkle-free, well-fitting pieces
– Bring a backup outfit or layering option!

🎯 Not sure what’s best for your brand?

We go over wardrobe during your pre-session consultation — so you’ll feel 100% confident in what you wear and how you show up.
