What’s the difference between a headshot and a branding session?

Headshot sessions are a great start and the very minimum you need to get your image out there for Linkedin, social media avatar photos, your email signature in the business world. For actors and realtors, a headshot is truly your calling card!

Branding sessions feature a mix of a headshots, lifestyle/posed/candid photos, as well as detail shots. Headshots capture your headshot and branding sessions truly tell and communicate the different sides of your persona and business. If you need photos for a new website, social media, marketing materials, or maybe even to just have fun, a branding session is right for you.

Why should you invest in branding photography?

Now, more than ever, your online presence matters and is the first impression people will get about your business. Within seconds, a prospect will form an opinion and decide if you and your business is trustworthy. Branding photos can help establish this person's trust and help you earn business by letting them glimpse your world. The more client sees you in your "natural habitat" or "behind the scenes," the more connected they will feel to you and your business. At the end of the day, these images "sell" you to the potential client and can be one of your most powerful marketing tools.

On a lighter note, (and something nobody tells you about branding), branding sessions are empowering and fun when done right. You spend a day feeling and looking your best, being directed, and captured in most flattering light and angles. You gain confidence and guarantee to feel great by the end of the shoot.

Can you help me style myself?

How should I prepare for the photo session?

I recommend creating a "moodboard" with images that inspire you. Think about the looks/outfits you want to try out. Do your shopping in advance. Try your clothes on before coming in and make sure everything is ironed and folded neatly. Pack everything the day before so you don’t feel rushed on the day of the shoot. Make sure your nails and toes are neat and ready too!

Practice posing and expressions in front of the mirror - just not the duck face please! 🤣

Get a good night's sleep and drink plenty of water. Stay away from alcohol the night before. Have a healthy breakfast as your energy will be needed at the shoot. Bring a good attitude, mood, and smiles with you!

Don’t try new haircuts or colors right before the shoot - as this is not the time to experiment. Be careful with tanning and spray tanning. You don’t want to look orange or have weird tan lines.

What do I need to bring with me?

Lots of (ironed) clothing choices, shoes, undergarments, jewelry, belts. I recommend bringing some healthy snacks to keep your energy up, your water bottle, a charger for your phone, and your favorite playlist.

If you’re using any props/products for your business, bring those along with a laptop.

If you’re doing your own makeup, have your makeup bag and/or hair products with your to touch up. If you’re working with our make-up/hair team – all you need is clean hair and face 😊
