What to bring to a branding session?

In planning for your branding session, you’ll want to think about any props that would help tell the story of your brand or company.  At Tara Flannery Photography, a branding session starts with hair and makeup for women.  After this service, we meet at our photography location and get started!  Here’s what to bring to a branding session.

  1. Wardrobe options: I would like to see at least 4-6 wardrobe options.  We may not use all of them but the more variety we can introduce into the wardrobe, the more variety in the images and the longer you can use them.  Bring something more formal/dressy and then also some more casual options.  This also provides variety in the images and more usability.
  2. Hair accessories: for ladies, if you want to put hair up at any point, bring hair accessories to that in one of the final wardrobe changes.
  3. Makeup touchups: mainly lip color for any touch-ups as needed
  4. Props: bring props that tell the story.  Things like a laptop, your phone, a book, a notebook, your product(s) and other props are helpful in staging “action” shots.

Leon and Alissa’s Branding Session

Leon and Alissa are a father-daughter realty team.  I had so much fun with their branding session.  They had outfits and props ready to go and we were able to get individual images and then a couple of group shots of them together!

Here`s the truth 👇🏻

The location isn`t just about pretty backdrops. It`s about matching the vibe to YOUR brand and YOUR audience.

When we plan your branding session, we talk through:
→ What you do
→ Who you`re speaking to
→ What problems you`re solving

That tells us everything. Do we want warm and inviting? Professional and polished? Industrial and edgy?

I`ve got access to tons of locations (hello, Peerspace 👋🏻), and we`ll look through them together to find the perfect fit for your brand. You don`t need to figure this out alone—that`s literally my job.

Your photos should feel like YOU, and that starts with choosing a space that makes sense for the people you serve.

Ready to create a library of authentic branding content in a space that actually fits your business?

Let’s be honest—being a woman in a male-dominated industry means you work twice as hard to be taken seriously.

And whether we like it or not, people make decisions about your credibility in seconds… often before you ever speak a word.

That’s where powerful, intentional branding comes in.

Women don’t need softer visuals.

Women don’t need to “blend in.”

Women need imagery that reflects the authority, confidence, and leadership they already bring to the table.

Here’s what strong branding does for women in male-led spaces:

✨ Positions you as the expert — not the exception

✨ Shows strength without losing authenticity

✨ Communicates confidence instantly

✨ Helps potential clients trust you faster

✨ Builds a visual presence that speaks for you—especially in rooms you aren’t in yet

Branding isn’t about looking perfect.

It’s about showing up as the most powerful, grounded version of you—and making sure the world sees it too.

If you’re ready to elevate your presence and build a brand that stands strong (and unapologetically feminine) in any industry…

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.
