What is Personal Branding Photography?

Personal brand photography is a powerful tool for entrepreneurs, creatives, and business owners who want to visually express what makes their brand unique. Unlike product-focused branding, personal brands are built around the individual, their story, personality, and values. Through custom photography, these traits are captured and shared across websites, social media, and marketing materials. Personal brand photography not only showcases who you are, but also positions you as a recognizable and trustworthy expert in your field. It’s more than just a photo session, it’s a strategic opportunity to tell your brand story with clarity and confidence.

What to Expect with a Branding Session

Before Your Personal Branding Session

Once your session is confirmed, we’ll schedule a pre-session consultation to plan out your vision. This is where we’ll discuss ideas, locations, outfits, and how best to visually represent your brand. I’ll also check in with you via email or text to ensure you feel fully prepared and supported leading up to your shoot.

During the Branding Photoshoot

Your session will be designed to reflect your everyday business life — whether that’s working behind the scenes, meeting with clients, or using your favorite tools. We’ll go through these activities multiple times to get the best angles and most authentic shots. Outfit changes are welcome (if planned), and we’ll allow room for spontaneous creativity to ensure your images feel fresh and true to you.

After the Session

About a week after your shoot, we’ll meet for a personalized image reveal and ordering session. I’ll carefully cull and edit your best photos, and during this session, you’ll select your favorite digital images and any additional products you’d love. It’s the final step in bringing your personal brand to life through powerful, professional photography.
