Headshot vs. Branding Sessions

Branding sessions are the newest thing on the professional headshot scene!  It’s a very popular session right now!  There are a few key differences between a headshot and branding session at Tara Flannery Photography.  First, a headshot session is typically a shorter session resulting in fewer images.  It’s perfect if you just need that business headshot for the website.  And it is also the right option if we are photographing your entire team or company.  However, if you own a small business or operate a business that needs significant imagery for marketing (like realtors, for example), a branding session is the most efficient way to accomplish your goals!

Recent Branding and Headshot Examples

Take a look at your marketing platforms (website, print media, social media, etc.) and determine your needs for imagery.  Think about how new images could elevate your brand and really show potential clients how it FEELS to work with your company and use your product or service.  A picture is worth a thousand words (or more) and solidifies your position in their minds.

For my session with Lake Conroe Realty, Allison and I made a plan for both studio headshots and some fun outdoor group and action shots at the lake!  I brought equipment to their office for the studio shots and then we went to the lake for some fantastic outdoor photos.  I absolutely love how they turned out and she’s super excited about updating the website and marketing materials!

If you’re a speaker, your images speak before you do. 🎤

Event planners are checking your website, your LinkedIn, your media kit — all before they ever reach out. And the first question they’re asking is:

“Can I imagine this person on our stage?”

That’s why speaker-focused imagery matters.

In my headshot + branding sessions, I don’t just have to take portraits —
I can recreate the experience of you presenting.

Spotlight, stage-inspired lighting, gestures, expressions, confidence… even if we’re shooting in my studio, we can make it look like you’re mid-keynote.

Because if speaking is part of your business, your visuals should reflect that — long before you step on stage.

When someone lands on your profile or website, they make a decision in seconds. 👀

Are you credible? Professional? Trustworthy?

Your branding images answer those questions before you ever say a word.

Strong, consistent visuals don’t just “look nice” — they build recognition, trust, and momentum. They show potential clients who you are, what you do, and the level you operate at.

And if your business has grown?
Your visuals should grow with it. ✨

It’s almost senior portrait season again… and somehow, it always arrives faster than we expect. ✨

Senior portraits are a way to pause time just for a moment and celebrate who they are right now, before everything changes.

If you’re starting to think about senior portraits, now is the perfect time to begin planning.
