Why photographs matter to your personal brand?
Personal branding photography is a way of marketing YOU. It's a way of giving your potential clients and buyers an inside look at how you work. This is an opportunity to show people what it looks and feels like to work with you before they've even spoken to you. It's about being open and visible and putting yourself and your personal style at the forefront of your business.
It’s not enough to rely on the copy on your website to TELL people how you solve their problems, you need to show them what it looks like to work with you and what your process looks like.
Whether you’re a speaker, author, or educator having a portfolio of digital assets that you can use across all your online and print marketing is a must. These images can be used on your website, Instagram, Linkedin, and blog pages to visually punctuate the stories that serve to educate your audience.

How Does It Work?
-
Step 1: Consultation
I like to start with a quick consultation call with new clients. I want to hear about you, what makes you tick and what is your business like? We can discuss your brand voice and the image you want to convey. I’ll ask a series of questions about you and your business, we’ll really dive deep into how you want to be seen by your audience.

Step 2: Brainstorming
After our discovery call, Ill take your answers and start developing a shot list.
This is the time to plan the shots we'll take to show your clients what it's like to work with you. It's certainly not just about using any old image, and certainly never stock photos, it's about developing trust. When your potential clients see branding photos of YOU or your employees, you have a better chance of making them feel like you're interacting with real humans and not actors. This helps you build trust. Let your audience get to know you and develop a personal connection.

Step 3: Schedule Your Personal Branding Session
